Happy Star Wars day

So far I’ve only be able to create an ink drawing every other day so I think I will stick to that rhytym rather than play catch-up. So here are my first 3. I hope to do lots of experimenting to find what suits me best as I don’t really ink stuff that often.

Neo from the Matrix as a cartoon character. Ink w/brush. #inktober

Skull, Ballpiont pen #inktober

Birdman, ink experiment with different inks and tools. #inktober

I pretty much blew it for Inktober got too busy with work and family but here is one more I didn’t have time to post:

Man on the street, experimental ink on bristol board.

Well apologies first,  I had a very bad cold and cough the last 4 weeks really slowing me down so I kinda rushed this one to make it into a group show based on the four basic elements. This is not my best work but not my worst either, The Koko the clown character has always been a favorite of mine and I thought if I ever painted him it would have to be at least as weird as the old cartoons, so there ya go. I hope I can revisit this later and paint it up right.

Here is the initial sketch:

No its not the name of Aunt May’s great grand-daughter, its Star Wars day (que the John Williams fanfare). I have been neglecting my humble sketchblog lately due to a lot of much needed freelance work but I wanted to do some kinda Star Wars doodle for today so here you have it. Its our favorite Who shot first gag, Greedo from the original Star Wars.

Next time more shootin’ and less talkin’

I’ve been busy fighting dragons and black dogs, here’s some stuff that’s piled up. More to come, stay tuned.

2013 is on its last few hours so it seems like a good time to give these lost scribbles a more permanent home.

This year has been a roller coaster for me so I have high hopes for the next 365 days to come. Thank you for taking a look at my art and I hope you and your families all have a great 2014.

Here are the last few faces I sketched up in 2013. I had a lot of fun drawing my friends and family the last few months but I think its time to take a break for a spell.

My youngest daughter Emily.

Decided to stone two kills with one scribble. Doodle day challenge for today is “beetle” so here is my distortion of a perfectly good topic.
