Here’s some dirty expression from a few months ago. Drawn at work with Sharpies, watercolor added later at home.
I am pleased to announce that I am working with a newly formed band from Calgary, Canada called Perception of Pain. Head on over and check them out! They are interested in artwork for their merch sales that depicts pain and suffering. Not exactly sure why they chose my style of art…
I’ll keep you crazy kids posted as things progress here at The Fuzzy Skeletonian!
Not just that I have artistic ability and an aesthetic eye but an actual imperative to be an artist. This is something that I’ve been foolishly fighting against lately and I’ve been losing. I guess that’s one of the ways you can be sure about something. It certainly has given me some clarity and confidence in what I need to do with my spare time. I need to try to be the best artist I can be, to use the time and resources I have available to learn and improve, and to hang on to my dream wherever it may lead. I may wax and wane in my pursuit but I will never give it up. I can’t give it up. This is what I must do.
Anyway, enough of all of this heartfelt declaration of purpose. On to the art! What you see above is the self-portrait I threatened to do using the technique I learned with accidental Stripe. Since I ended up with four different versions even before I scanned anything I decided to get my Warhol on and block them all together with different color schemes. I think I captured the sadness, frustration and anger I’ve been going through lately.
That’s it for now. I hope to get my butt a little more in gear in coming months and share whatever I can whenever I can. Thanks for stopping by.
(The following artworks were created as part of my participation in Horror With Training Wheels over at Guts and Grog Reviews. See the original appearances here.)
My inspiration for the following pieces was from the very end of Gremlins when Stripe’s skeletal remains pop up out of the fountain. It seems my two favorite moments come from the beginning and end of the film (the second being the hilarious, teary-eyed monologue of the poor girl relating the story of her dumb-ass father’s attempt to come down the chimney dressed as Santa). Anyway, I ended up with three artworks. Enjoy!
My first impulse was to draw Stripe’s skeletal remains in my signature Fuzzy Skeletonian style.
Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to check out the avalanche of amazing content that Horror With Training Wheels has turned into!
This pretty much wraps things up for my 2nd Annual Octoberween-Palooza-Ganza. I know this wasn’t the most exciting OPG I’ve ever done but I at least got new original artworks posted each and everyday for your viewing enjoyment. ALSO ALSO ALSO, don’t forget: If you participated you have the right to put me to work for you on a commission of your choosing. Check out my original statement from the beginning of the month for full details.
I hope you had a great Octoberween and I wish you the spookiest Halloween ever! Thanks for stopping by : )
Speaking of last October, please to enjoy my mutant stomach which shares a sandwich background with escape. Wow, only two more days to go. Meh.
Man, I am so blown right now. Heading for bed. Later peeps.
Hey check out what a simple auto-adjust of the colors did to this:
Dang, this month is drawing to a close much sooner than I’d like, but October always does, doesn’t it?
