Drawn!

I realized long ago that being featured on the illustration blog, Drawn, would be something special indeed. Im happy to say the day has come! A big thank you to John Martz and Joe Bluhm for the post and recommendation, respectfully. Both of these guys are HUGE talents, so I'm honored.

Happy V Day

A belated Valentine's message...

Imaginary Relationships

Since I plan to get back on track with my little comic strip narrative, I thought I'd post some of my developmental sketches. This is a loose relationship chart linking all the characters together. As you can see, I'm getting kinda' ambitious with this. I want to flesh out the whole universe of their warped little world. I'm a big fan of mythology and magical creatures and space aliens and robots, so I decided if I'm going to create a little world, it's going to involve all of my clashing fascinations. With a strip title like "Mythfits", I feel obliged to make opposites attract. I'm eager to induce all the meet and greets...even if it takes me a while.



Let's talk about feelings

Something smells funny...

Poo is back

Well, it was OBVIOUS that I had to continue the adventure of this little turd. He appeared earlier, but now he's going to have his own little story.



Little Ditties

A Doomed Relationship?

A Match Made In Heaven?

Dance

...Then a robot appeared.

Note: first panel best viewed while imagining Richard Strauss's "Also sprach Zarathustra" (from 2001: A Space Odyssey) playing in your head.

Yeah, yeah...I know, that's a tired cinematic cliché, but it makes it all the more ridiculous.

In the beginning, there was a drunk unicorn...

I like unicorns that drink to kill the pain. :)

WOW! A Unicorn!

This was my first attempt creating a Mythfits strip. Obviously, the robot hasn't shown up yet. That turd might show up again later. I like him.

A New endeavor

As an Illustrator, I get told what to draw a lot (duh). It's not usually what I would sit around sketching at home, so lately I've been experimenting with character creation. For some reason these two little guys keep showing up in my doodles! I always loved unicorns. I always loved robots. Maybe I'll do a little cartoon with them.
