Dr. Sketchy's – February and March

Been on a nice little tear of making it out to Dr. Sketchy's sessions...I think I've attended three of the last four! It certainly doesn't hurt that the models have been lovely! Here are some of my efforts from the February and March meetings.

Creamsicle Buccaneers

There are iconic uniforms, and then there are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beautifully quirky orange and red set, worn from the team's inception in 1976 until 1996. Unfortunately, this look is far more associated with losing than with winning, and never more to more hilarious effect than in that inaugural season. In the midst of a 0-14 campaign, coach John McKay was asked by a reporter after a game what he thought of his team's execution... to which he replied, "I'm in favor of it!"

Roach Clips

Another fun one from The Stranger, looking at some of the good, bad, and just plain insane bills being brought before the Washington State Senate this year.

The Stratford Streak

Here's a quick digital sketch of Canadiens legend Howie Morenz, who died on this day in 1937. Morenz's story will be told in the next volume of Old-Timey Hockey Tales!

The Rocket vs. Killer Dill, Redux

Via Puck Daddy, here's the entire strip. Enjoy!

Kick-Save, and a Beauty!

I'd never heard of the Michigan Tech Huskies before being commissioned by my pal Dustin to create this illustration. I must say, they are some snazzy dressers!

The Rocket vs. Killer Dill

I recently finished a new Old-Timey Hockey Tales strip, and it's posted over at the fantastic, essential Puck Daddy blog! Please jog on over and have a look. Comments encouraged, of course.

If you've come here from Puck Daddy, welcome! Stretch out, have a look around... the site is practically choking on hockey art, but if more hockey strips are your thing, you can find shortcuts to a few here, here and here!

Bronx Bombers

You can hate the Yankees for winning all the time, but you can't deny the appeal of those pinstripes!

The Hawks of Winter

How about those Chicago Blackhawks? 22 points and still without a regulation loss!

Jenny, I Got Your Number

Let's just say, I'd hate to be the guy assigned the phone number 867-5309.

Fattest of the Fat Cats

Ah, the Monopoly Man...the fattest cat of them all!

Charlotte Hornets

An early 90s classic, and timeless in it's own teal and purple way. Boy, it'd be nice to see the Hornets name return to the Queen City now that New Orleans has become the Pelicans.

The sketch, and the final.

More Commissions!

A few more!

Some Commissions

Now that Xmas has come and gone, I figure it's safe to post some of the sketch card commissions I've been doing all month!

Sketch Cards

Hey gang... In an attempt to fund some projects I'd like to get going in the next few months here, I'm offering sketch cards, now through whenever I get busy, for just $18 + shipping. That's less than a con sketch!

More details here.

Hershey Bears

Kind of on an AHL kick this week. Who do you wanna see next?

At least they're playing hockey...

CyberBlackSmallSaturdayBusinessFridayMonday

Friends, believe me when I say I am as sick of the trolling for shoppers as the rest of you... However, my limited business sense demands I tell you that I added lots of brand-spankin' new original art, sketch cards and prints to the Atom-Bomb Bikini Etsy shop this weekend, and that you can save 20% on said goods using the code CYBER2012!

The code is good through December 10th, so use it early and often, and as always... Thanks!

The History of Pornography

I created this a couple weeks back for the Las Vegas Weekly, who thankfully seem to send a good bit of their more lascivious illustration projects my way. It accompanied an article about a UCSB professor, who created a course on the history of pornography back in the 90s, hosting a talk at UNLV.

Dr. Sketchy Scribbles

Last night, I finally had an opportunity to catch a DR. Sketchy's drawing session here in Richmond. It's been forever since I made it to one, as something always seems to pop up and prevent me from going. Luckily, the model this time around, the lovely Tenshi no Itami, was really fun to draw, in no small part because of the Lady Gaga cosplay jam she had going on, complete with her own latex "meat dress"!

Some o' my scribbles:

Happy Halloween!

Sad Ghost

I Approve This Message

I worked this up for The Stranger, to accompany their list of endorsements for the upcoming election, including the legalization of gay marriage and limited marijuana possession and the re-election of our Muslim Socialist president. Being, as I have so often been accused, in the tank for Obama, I wanted to portray him with angel wings, a halo, and a dick the size of the Florida panhandle. Thank heaven the editors brought me to my senses!

Bedfellows

From a recent Stranger article, about a Seattle millionaire and longtime Sonics fan teaming up with the mayor and city council to get a new arena built and return NBA basketball to the city.

T-Shirt Update

Hey, all, just wanted to hip all of you fine folks who pre-ordered the "Wanted" shirt with a status update...

There are no snafus with production, etc, but every step along the way has taken a little bit longer than I expected it would. I ended up leaving the pre-order period open for a few extra days, which added a little time on the back end. They should be printing this week, and ready to go out for delivery early to middle of next week, so please just bear with me just a little bit longer! It's my first time going with this crowd-sourced pre-order model...I promise the next one will go smoother!

Thanks a million for your patience...I adore you all!

This one could benefit from some inking.

I should try to do one of these sketch cards every day for like a year.

Diggin' these sketch cards lately...

Richmond Zine Fest 2012

Hey, y'awl! Tomorrow I'll be set up at Richmond Zine Fest, the River City's best local show! It'll be my first time exhibiting since 2008, as one event after another has conspired against me every year since then, so I'm pretty excited about it! Joining me will be my pal Jared Cullum, who'll actually be handling the reins solo the latter part of the day, since I have a five-year old's birthday party to go to (See what I mean?). But by all means, come out, say hi...you don't even have to buy anything, though Jared and I'd sure appreciate it!

It's at the Gay Community Center of Richmond, that faaaabulous rainbow-painted building you can see from I-95, from 11-6 this Saturday, October 6th. Really, you should totally come...it's gonna be fun.

Also, a quick reminder, today is the LAST day to pre-order your Atom-Bomb Bikini "Wanted" t-shirt. I'll be printing a few extras, but really not many at all, so if you want a guaranteed size and color, I implore you to set one aside for yourself now. Thanks.
