Anna Tummy…

…fucking with Loomis. What you see is a part of your arm. Yes, your arm.

Your Arm

Not laughing yet? Look this, it’s cool. Gondry-ishness.

How’s that for a few words? pwnd.

Concepting On Nostlagia

Ok, here is not much to say today. I’ve been at work and I’ve been further working on the commissioned stuff (and I will for a few more weeks.) In other news I’ve been asked to participate in a show hosted by Owlmovement. The theme is “Nostalgic Notions” and although I’m not sure if I can get something done before the deadline I stumbled over a nice little metal toy car from back in the days whilst browsing through a flea market. Of course I’m going to customize this little red car. It is probably older than that, but somehow it reminds me of the days of Chernobyl when I was forbidden to play with my toys and or in the sand and basically everything that the fall-out rain touched during that time. Nostalgic notions vs. childhood memories… hmmmm.

As in my previous post, I used my time at work to further sharpen my drawing skills. This time, the above mentioned little toy car. It’s a bit thicker looking than it does in reality but since I tried constructing it via negative outside shapes… Now , the next obstacle I need to tackle is the coloring.

Today I don’t feel like posting some funny link. Instead something different. As much as I admit having fun with pr()n once in a while, there is a dark world behind all these rather well lit and photoshopped pictures. Read this article to get a glimpse. That ain’t no fucking fun (pun intended, of course, duh!).

PS. I’ve joined a little art community called the Little Chimp Society. I’ve been asked by “the Ape” and I’ve taken him up on his kind invitation. Thanks again.

Working The Technique

So, after a short and crammed semester the thoughts begin to roll again. Not that I’m bored, I have quite a bit to do and a lot more ahead of me. And still, I came to the conclusion that my basis for drawing is still pretty weak. Ok, I’ve got some good ideas every once in a while but there are a lot of basics that I’m not capable of achieving.

Today was one of those time wasting dreaded work days again that kept me from more important things. Anyways, I try to combine the annoying with the useful and I try to use spare seconds and minutes in between calls to work on things in my sketchbooks. Keeping the above mentioned thoughts in mind I forced myself to do some RealLifeā„¢ drawings.

Obviously there are way too many flaws but I’m not unhappy either. I made these four panels with just a 0.05 and a 0.03 copic line marker, so there was no way for me to erase or cover up my mistakes easily. Well, enough of the talking…

At Work

And confessing to be one of a million other BoingBoing.net readers todays link is a recommendation to read a few of the 363 reviews (at the time I took a look) of “Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz” at Amazon.com.
