Graaahhh! Hulk Hate Long Interim Between Bouts of Awareness of Social Media as Necessary Tool of Modern Age! Graaahhh!

GrAh! Hulk can't believe so much time elapse! Hulk think... Nope, I was going to write an entry as the Hulk... can't do it. Not because of the diction, but it's just that to me the Hulk's editorial voice has always been overtly political and I don't want to do a Huffington Post piece in Hulk/pidgin/english. Anyway, some big stuff coming, probably next weekend, till then just doodles....

Originally this was more Kermit related, so, you know, it made more sense that way.

Bowie's In Progress!

Keep a weather eye on the horizon, some big stuff coming soon.....

Maaannnn, Looper Was So Goooood!

How good was it?!

It was sooo good, it restored my faith in challenging and original movies getting widespread releases, just in time for 2013's slate of reboots, sequels and prequels!

Seriously though. Movie was so good you could put that shit on a double bill with Rian Johnson's 2005 film Brick. That's how good. Brick good.

I did this pretty wonked on cough medicine ( I was sick, not using it recreationally) but I think I'll need to do a real one at some point, like a more than a doodle one.

And to think, I was having a bad day, thanks Youtube

Precious Got Bills to Pay

At some point when your job requires you to watch Lord of the Rings clips all day you will do this drawing.

Statistically, that's a fact.

This was a wheatpasting project I had planned for the outside of the ZEFR warehouse. Unfortunately it's been delayed by fears about what the landlord would think of such an outsized monkey, not to mention concerns about new (and really pretty insanely prohibitive) rules and restrictions regarding murals that's currently bumping around the city council. Anyway, I think it'll happen, but maybe not for  a while, so I'm just gonna put these up here.


These were just some mockups of the size it would be on the building, and from different perspectives.

This was a Yoda.

Dinosnore 2: Terrordactyl

The name comes from a script I earnestly hope to someday submit to The Asylum production company, makers of the upcoming films Poltergabe, Exterminatables 2, and The Weird Life of Bobby the Magic Plant Boy Who Dies at the End. 

Dinosnore 2: Terrordactyl has been a difficult road,  but if I do not write roles for C. Thomas Howell, who will? 

Dinosnore

"He doesn't want to be fed, he wants to hunt! You can't just bypass millions of years of evolution..."

Rebel Without A Pause

Although this is for a specific project, it's such a minor part and we're so far away from completion, that, well, it just doesn't count. Also, I feel like I never put stuff up here, and dammit that needs to change. Probably.

I dunno if you can tell that the black is a dot matrix rather than straight black here.... Nor if it matters.

Skull GIF

I haven't figured out what to do with these yet, but I have some images from work than need bored rearranging. So, for the moment, crappy .gif.

Updated to reflect updating.

The Moviegoers

These are just quick images I put together for a friend who's doing a podcast, not exactly my area of expertise, nothing special. In the works, however, is an enormously large project which is something special. Sooo... there's that.

The Lion CEO

So this isn't a 'project' per say, in the same way as sexting isn't really essay writing, more a brief and ill considered... uh... brief? Anyway, through a series of circumstances I found myself needing to doodle a picture of Ross Levinsohn, the current interim head of Yahoo, as a lion. Here are the results.

So, original drawing and lettering, scanned in, slightly cleaned up and turned purple

Experimenting now with maybe having more color in there...

Fuck it. Why not have some color?

Color brah. Color.

Although I fully intended to run this through Inkscape and then simplify the line-work to cut down on that sketch pencil feel, the end result of that was that the line thickness just went insane every time I tried to trace the bitmap. In the end I do kind of like the sketchy look, and time/effort constraints make it not worth it to spend five days figuring out Inkscape all over, so I can live with this.

Bejeweled Fancy Assassin Doodle

This is what happens when you absentmindedly doodle whilst listening to 36 Chambers.

Assassin

For nothing in particular.

Idea Por Un Sticker

And the big news of the day is that as of tomorrow I have a kickass apartment in Venice.

Steps to follow:

1. Learn to surf
2. Grow hair long, blonde
3. Get tan
4. Stop reading
5. Be about a foot and a half taller, personable

In other news here's an idea I had, for an owl sticker for sticking. Might look into getting some made.....

St. Sebastian: Version 1

I just got a new book on Aubrey Beardsley ( one of the Dover Picture collections, these things are fantastic, and starting to make-up more an more of my library....).

Anyway, I immersed myself in it all day (when not doing whatever it is I get paid for) and when I sat down at night to doodle while having a drink and watching some Farscape, this popped out. I'll probably do another version at one point, one with more planning and less... I dunno, levitation? This image may not have been thought out especially well. I have a lot on my plate right now though, so that may take some time....

Oh, in other news, Farscape is fantastic.

For Some Reason I Think He's an Argentine Pimp

I haven't figured out which one of these is the right one, or if it's done, but I kind of want to see about screenprinting this somewhere. Anyway, the three aren't meant to be joined, I did that for comparison purposes.

People Draw Time

I got some good drawing time in at Abott's Habit in Venice this morning. I mean, good for me, not like.. objectively or whatever.

Sun-damage, man. Shit's fun to draw though.

She looked a lot like the actress Blake Lively. At one point I was like, "Am I weirding out the actress Blake Lively?" 

She looked sweet. We could have been friends.

Muuuuhhhhhhh Tiiiiiiiiitttlllllllleeeeee.....................

Once More, With The Hammer Of Thor

I saw Cabin In the Woods this weekend, and wowzers. Sooo coool. It actually got me pretty jazzed for The Avengers as a side-effect of its excellence, so there's that. I did a doodle of Joss Whedon doing an Avengers musical, just because.

Did you know he directed an episode of Glee?

Yeah, where did that come from?

Oswaltian

Alright, so one of the cooler things about twitter is that you get to watch celebrities interact with each other -and with the normals too- in a way mandated by the new social contract of insight into famous people's lives, or at least the lives of interns at their respective handlers' firms, which is fun. I haven't tried asking George Clooney for braising advice yet, but I think you need to work up to that one.

So I saw that a cool and forward young woman sent Patton Oswalt some fan art, and this being the internet and all, I decided to steal copy the idea.

Anyway, here's mine: Patton Oswalt kind of as Hugh Hefner circa 1965. Sort of unintentional on the doing-it-face. Oh well.

Calibos Eins

So... developments, uh... lets see....

Oh, didn't get that Mondo poster, which was a bummer, but this /Film piece does heal the pain of the loss a bit, no fooling.

Other than that, Frank's (the greatest diner that Burbank -or the world, for that matter- had to offer) is now closed, so I and countless collectors of social security checks are forced to find a new place that even comes close, which will be hard.

Other than that... Yeah, nothing. I gotta do more, uh, things I guess. Yeah -things- that's the ticket.

I've decided to try to do a picture of my childhood Harryhousen idol: Calibos. The idea came to me whilst  enviously dicking around Sam Bosma's amazing blog, and so the doodle I did looks much less like Calibos, or even something I would normally draw, and more like somebody badly imitating Sam Bosma.

So, lesson learned there I guess.

"Just Because You Are 140 Characters Doesn't Mean You Have 140 Characters"

So, having moved to Los Angeles, name dropped a member of the Hogan family, and paid a sit-down meal's worth of money for a single whiskey at a bar populated by what I assume were in fact human beings and not sentient orange peels wearing Armani Exchange clothing, I have decide to complete the douchey triple crown and join Twitter*.

That having been said, I'm thinking to use this more for following (is that what you say? Following? Following on Tweeter? I don't know, kids these days are so lazy, with their internet, and their Mario. Is that what you say, Mario?), so, you know, one point from Douchendor.

Anyway, I had to have a picture, so here's my tweety thing picture.

*Actually this is mostly just to try my damnedest to get my hands on this Mondo 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Poster. She will be mine. Oh yes, she will.

Ododoodle

Alliguard!

I can't say what this doodle is, besides cool and abortive.

The Laddies!

So, I turned 25 today, which is upsetting at the most basic primal level of wanting to accomplish something before you turn 30. It's crunch-time now bitch.

To cheer myself up I doodled a band that is for legal purposes not in anyway related to the Fab Four.

Robot Doodle: The Beginening

This was a boredom doodle that took a long while to take hold, and which I'll probably finish tomorrow. Also, birthday, so, you know, a quarter century of good times.

Guess which one of these came along first....

This Is A Thing, I Helped.
