BEEP-BEEP-BOOM!

Been a while

Ok, so I haven't posted a drawing in a while... I know, bad me! I've just been busy and haven't drawn anything I've felt like posting. So I'll talk about something instead. Last summer I came across a post, while surfing the net, about a movie being made inspired by a manga/anime. No I'm not talking about Scott Pilgrim again. No this movie, from what I've heard, actually inspired Scott Pilgrim. I'm talking about Beck (Mongolian Chop Squad). If you've heard of it awesome for you if not... DUDE, seriously!

The series is epic it covers the entire life from beginning to end of a bands journey to stardom, with some personal drama thrown in for spice.

Rather than give you the whole story why don't you just take it from me that it's good and watch it... If you really must know everything beforehand then here read the wiki.



Here's the trailer for the upcoming(?) movie.

AVATAR: The Last Airbender

In HIGH anticipation for the movie coming out this week I felt compelled to draw Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender... Does it bother anyone else that the movie is not given the full title of the cartoon?

Super Awesome Funstuffs

The Rad people running the Scott Pilgrim movie site have an awesome Avatar creator try it out for yourself!

Scott Pilgrim Game

Some video for the new SP game has hit the interwebs!!! It looks good, real good, like all my favorite Arcade four player Fighters (TMNT, Marvel), River City Ransom, Double Dragon, and Pirate Baby Cabana Battle! Don't like my comparisons see for yourself.

Some days I wish I were a little more Crafty

Lately, I've been playing a lot of Warioware DIY so I've been doing some image searches of old NES sprites for game references. As I search I've been coming across a bunch of craft sites that use the pixel art for cross stitching. One of these sites is called Spritestich.com and I've spent the better part of an hour going through their archives. Why I've never come across this before I'll never know but I'm really impressed much of what I've seen. From cross stitching to crochet and perler beads to legos. It's really making me want to learn other forms of art beyond pencils, pens and paints. My brother years ago introduced me to iam8bit.com which has always impressed me but the crafts here seem a little more do-able... well maybe, I might just do a search at Etsy and see what I can buy. Some of this stuff could be useful with a baby on the way...

Grape-Chimp

Well Folks, it's kind of been a while since I've posted anything (well it feels that way). Since moving to a new apartment I haven't had much opportunity to sit down and draw... That is until tonight.

Lindsay and I have been kicking around the idea of me painting something for our daughter's room. So this is it: Grape-Chimp. I think it's pretty apparent that I need an easel, since it's very off center. Also I'm thinking I should probably invest in some new brushes and paint while I'm at it... But although flawed I'm happy with the way it turned out. My little personal gift to my child. Hope you like it.


PS. Just a funny side note. While painting this I was watching Every Which Way but Loose. Just a bit of unintentional inspiration since I started watching it because of Clint Eastwood and not the Orangutan.
