Merry happy merry!

Happy holidays folks! 

In Hammersmith Palais.

A sketch that came together really quick of possibly my favorite band. They're at least in my the top 3. The Clash! Or, more so, Joe Strummer. I can't stress enough how much I'm inspired, empowered and just pure love this band. Microns, brush, black and white ink on bristol. Long live The Clash!

Laying low.

I'm really not sure where this came from, or why I drew it. I guess just to do a drawing and shake off the November blahs. Microns, brush pen, white ink on bristol. 

The reason why.

A while back my buddy Marty, did me a favour. Over a beer or four, with Marty asking nicely, I agreed to do a drawing of his dog Gus. He's a monster of a dog, but a total softy. Plus, I wanted to do something nice for helping me out.

 That was back in late July. I didn't end up finishing the drawing and giving it to Martin until Oct. 11th. 

This is one of many reasons I hate doing any sort of commission work. It takes me forever and knowing it's taking me soo long, makes things worse. Especially when it's a portrait of some sort. It's not that I hate doing the work. I just want it to look right and that's the hard part. People know what their pets, baby, parents, whatever, look like better than I do. Trying to get something down on paper that will satisfy them and myself, drives me nuts. Which leads to mistakes. Not little tiny one's that are easy to fix. Big, bad one's that take forever to blend out. 

So, you can ask me to draw your (enter family member or pet here). Chances are, 99.9999 per cent of the time, I'm going to say no! Sorry. 

Well, after all that rambling, here's Gus. Brush pen, microns, ink wash, white ink on bristol. 

Happy early 1031!

My annual zombie. Brush pen, microns, water colour on bristol. Happy Halloween everyone!

Dead by dawn.

Ash from Evil Dead 2. I love this movie. Actually, I love the whole series. I realize the lighting is all over the place, but I figured by this point in the movie, things get really weird. So, if they can go crazy, I can too. Brush pen, microns, ink wash, water colour (red) on bristol. 

Chop, chop.

Something to start this spooky month off. Microns, brush pen, water colours on bristol. 

Time.

A quick sketch of my old buddy. 4 years in and I still miss him like hell. Love your pets folks. 

Coming soon.

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of posts over the last little while. Things have been busy in my neck of the woods. But, things are coming! See you soon. 

Elephant action!

Prints for sale! They're from a drawing I did a while back, inspired by Mike Vallely's first board. A great friend of mine, Eric Chamois did the screening work. They look great! Follow this LINK, or hit up my store if you're interested. 

Obviously you're not a golfer.

The dude from The Big Lebowski. It's in my top 5, as far as films go. Brush pen, microns, brush, black ink on bristol. 

Thank you, Donny.

Something I'm working on that will hopefully be something. 

Heat wave.

A sketch I did just for fun during the hot days of July last week. Brush pen, microns, black and white ink and coloring pencil on bristol. 

This and that.

This drawing was for my friend Matt Hart, a.k.a. The Russian Futurist. He was going to use it on his new single, but the turn around was really quick. It still may make in there somewhere. Regardless, the song is great and the man is huge talent. Check him out!

Some really good friends of mine own and run a great place, with unreal coffee, called Far Out Coffee Post in Vancouver.  I thought it would be fun to do a sketch for them. The only problem was, I never finished it.. until today. So here it is, I'll be sending it to them tonight. I know, I'm a slacker. 

Random sketch of me spilling ink, again. Ink on bristol. 

Wha...?

Why did I draw this? Beats me. Just a doodle I did while watching t.v. I added some color just for fun. Brush pen, water color on bristol.
