caffeine

my new excuse is that i'm working 2 jobs. 12 hour days may be neccesary for a while. i don't want to be a literal starving artist.
but, i did find some inspiration for a quick drawing. while working 3rd shift and then straight to 1st shift, i started becoming dependent on large quantities of caffeine.

lazy

i've admittedly been lazy as of late with getting stuff out. i've been working more on music than art. sorry. i WILL have a new series entitled, "royalty of my generation" coming out within the next month.
in the mean time here is a submission i did for Heatlightnin', a zine.
submitted content was supposed to be something that scares you.
also, a comission for batman villians i did last month.

found some old toxicjOE stuff

here are some of the originals done in markers. eesh. the bottom one is my very first rendition.

new random drawings

i saw an old Looney Tunes animal actor movie called, "orange blossoms for violet" where most of the actors were monkeys. monkeys make good actors. then the next day i saw a video online where a monkey was riding a goat on a trapeze highwire. the monkey did a handstand while the goat balanced on a tin can that was on the wire. it was amazing.

i doubt giraffes seem invisible. i'm amazed by stupid camoflauge.
excellent.

a few toxicjOE cartoons

i came up with the toxicjOE idea a few years ago. it started off fairly crude. i couldn't find the "original" on my computer.. i'll keep looking. but toxicjOE has an unwanted superpower where everything he loves turns against him in monster form. so if he found a pretty flower, it would turn into a mutant/monster and chase him away. his sidekick is Sludgeboy. Sludgeboy has the unwanted superpower of being able to eat anything and poop out corn. the government is after him to capitalize on the recent ethanol trend. they are on the run together. sludgeboy leaves a greasy film everywhere he goes. he can also sometimes turn the monsters back to their original form... but not always. i did quite a few of them. the crude "non-digital" ones have yet to be added.

adventure beardcomb ads

these are a few of the ads i did for the adventure beard comb. i guess i should have actually sold some. there seemed to be some interest: http://www.build-a-beard.com/bab/tag/animation
