More doodles, I'm done with my animation drawing just have to do the backgrounds, hopefully I'll be able to post it soon. I was looking through Bob Flynn's flickr set the other day. This rabbit is inspired directly by Bob Flynn's Easter Bunny Story his is much more frightening, I went for cute, I'm pretty sure Bob's is the real one though. That book only had 10 sheets folded in half no drawing on the back, so 20 "pages" in 2 classes isn't that bad. I think I stole the top part of this last one from a Bob Flynn drawing too, his stuff is just great.
Check out this amazing cover by Dokaka:
Also, I was looking through my list of music favorites on Youtube and found this:
And another great favorite:
I also have 5 favorites for Bela Lugosi is Dead, so yeah..
Once again, Twitter, I'm still trying to figure out what I should use it for, but add me and we'll find out! http://twitter.com/weflewairplanes

I'm really going to try to update every 2nd or 3rd day, seriously I don't want to have to scan so many things in a row all the time.
I got a new sketchbook, and this is the first time in a while I paid full price, so I'm going to put as much as I can into these pages. I started watching Doctor Who, I found out it's on Netflix instant play, except for the last disc of each season. I really like it. These aren't so much caricature as they are doodles inspired by faces. And then some digi-doodles, I have a really nice tablet but I've hardly been using it I would love to use this as the cover for a cd See you folks in 2-3 Days!
I don't know why but I don't really get much done on Tuesdays despite having the whole day off, my excuse this week is I have a slight cold. I guess I mostly just read blogs, but I did decide to whip out this awesome brown paper again, I saw on someone's site that they had a sketchbook with this stuff and it reminded me that I have a stack of it sitting under my desk that I only used one sheet of maybe a year or so ago. I have lots of things I bought that are in severe disuse, and despite recognizing this, I bought this new sketchbook last night for these next drawings: I like drawing while listening to This American Life I don't know if it helps or not though. This is the 200th picture labeled as SKETCH, I'm not sure what that means anymore though: I'm not sure what I've been doing today either, haven't done much though, oh well still 5 hours left in the day.
Also, I've decided that starting tonight I'm going to watch all the Harry Potter movies, partially because I want to know what it's all about and be able to understand any jokes that I run into about the series, and partially because this song is stuck in my head even though I don't really understand it:
These first few are actually Sunday, I really need to get back to getting some practice drawing from life instead of just making things up, at least to just learn some perspective and find new shapes in peoples faces. Amy Poehler in Parks and Recreation: These are from Monday in the sketchbook I made a while back: This book is weird though, the paper seems thick, but it's really not. Or I press incredibly hard, but that might have just been that one pencil was terrible. When I switched to a new one I stopped leaving huge ridges in the pages, those were so nasty. I don't like most of these, I need to either swap mediums or try to find new things to draw. I watched the original Cape Fear last night, and drew one quick Robert Mitchum as Max Cady: It's hard to beleive that he was also the hero in Out of the Past, he seems so utterly despicable in Cape Fear.
I meant to take these pictures a couple weeks ago, but never got around to it: These pictures are still a lot crappier than I'd like to have gotten, but I don't know how to take photographs of sketchbooks and not get shitty lighting but still manage to hold the camera still enough to not use flash. These are in a 11x14 sketchbook that's too large for my scanner, and I don't feel like putting them together digitally, most aren't worth that sort of effort. I might scan in this last one though, I kind of like it despite how messy it is. I feel weird trying to color the backgrounds because the only thing I remember from the boyscouts code of traits or whatever was thrift, can't use up my markers all at once :\
Cartoonist in Houston, I wash my brushes in sweat it's so hot. I also draw comics http://citriccomics.com/ I used to have a blogger but now all of my stuff is there :D
