Dragon Study

I've been trying to improve my big reptilian skills lately. Here's the result. Things got a little noodley towards the end. Next time I'll plan it out a little better. Man, I wish I had someone kicking my butt to get this stuff right 10 years ago.

ANIMAL BAND!

My good friend Christopher just published his first children's book, Animal Band! Above is the adorable main character of Animal Band, Thomas. You can pick up the book at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It's a great book for the wee ones... but you don't have to take my word for it.

Congratulations, Christopher!

Here's a little dude for my woodland goblin to eat. Maybe he would just beat him up and take his farthings.

Staple! 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Adam) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:50:00 +0000

I've finally recovered from Staple!: The Independent Media Expo 2008. What a great show. Big thanks to everyone who came out. And extra big thanks to people who stopped by my table! I was out there selling my latest Sketch Ashcan. Here's the cover:

If you weren't able to make it out to the show and would like to buy a copy, send me an email. They're $5 (shipping included). I've also got the 2 previous volumes reprinted if you'd like those as well. Each book comes with a little quickie sketch on the inside front cover.

Speaking of quickie sketches, I did one for someone at the show but they forgot to come back and pick it up. I thought it turned out pretty cool so here it is.

If you were at Staple this past weekend and forgot to pick up your book from me, please send me an email and I'll mail it off to ya.

Just something I was doodling on at the coffeeshop the other night.

Life Drawing Via DS

The other week I went to a life drawing session. I decided to go late in the day, so I only had my standard sketching supplies. I like to have something a bit blendy or big like charcoal, a grease pencil, or black prismacolor and some newsprint, but I didn't have any of that. I then remembered that I had recently loaded Colors on my DS. This is the result. I had a few hiccups. Turning the DS sideways for drawing in a vertical "portrait" orientation was near impossible. Also, if you accidentally touch the drawing surface in two places at once, you will draw an unpleasant streak across your screen. I'm sure there is a way to use this to your advantage, but at the time it was annoying especially with no undo. All in all I think it turned out to be a fruitful experience.

Magic Fingers MacDoogal

I recently participated in Sam Hiti's Fistacuffs competition in a tag team along side talented bastards Alicia Traveria and Zach Taylor. Our team was "The Handicapables." Above is my contribution: Magic Fingers MacDoogal. MacDoogal is a fearsome opponent with his wicked-magical fingers, magic hat, and horde of demon bunnies, but above all else he is a gentleman. Head on over to the FACA blog to see how we did!

Workin' the Space Warehouse

I hit up Wurstfest this weekend. There's nothing quite like meat on sticks, pastries, beer, and polka to let you know you're alive.

Jenna Toejam

Wow it's been a while. Above is Jenna Toejam. I entered her in the Fist-A-Cuffs Arena-Girl competition. Hopefully she'll make the cut!

I'm going to push to post more frequently than I have been. We'll see if I actually follow through on that. So much of what I've been doing lately has been under wraps. Happy Halloweenween everyone.

Zombie Fish Dude

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Adam) — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 07:24:00 +0000

A while back I posted a sketch of this guy on my site. I decided to go back and give him the paint treatment. He wound up changing a bit here and there. I guess he's less of a zombie now and more just plain evil fish dude.

Demons, Ducks and Flatstock 12

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Adam) — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 04:53:00 +0000

I went and checked out Flatstock this weekend. Tons of fantastic art. I bought a rad shirt from Burlesque of North America and a deck of playing cards from Gigposters. My fiancee is really into Eleanor Grosch's work so we grabbed up some of her wares as well. Much fun was had by all and I recommend going to this next year.

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Adam) — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 05:10:00 +0000

I haven't been drawing all that much lately due to a nasty lingering cough I've had for the past 3 weeks. Thanks to some great drugs and sleep I'm on the upswing. I meant to post this for speak like a pirate day.
