Percy Jackson and friends

hello blog, its been a while, i missed you.

these images are characters from a book series called Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I havent finished the series, but the basic gist of the series is that there are Greek Gods and Goddesses living in NY and their half god children (demi-gods) go to a camp called "Camp Half Blood" where they are sent on quests.

Annabeth

anyways, i did these for the Rick Riordan book signing event at my workplace. One of my managers decided to tell me about this a week before the event so these are sorta rushed but these were hung up as decoration in the events room. Rick Riordan was awesome, i am amazed he did not get carpal tunnel while signing all those books. He was even nice enough to sign the paintings afterwards.

well, thats all i got for today... probably a large sketch dump will be posted shortly.

toodles!

Side/Freak Show, sculptures, and naked ladies.

The past few weeks I've been listening to a whole lot of Yann Tiersen, and Yann Tiersen reminds me of circuses and sideshows. So i spent the last 2 weeks or so doodling bearded ladies, midget/children, siamese twins, half animal people, contortionists and all sorts of fun things. So after a some sketching, I thought it would be fun to perhaps try and finish a couple of them.
Here are some of my decent sketches:

My cute little announcer/ringmaster girl. I think mostly wanted an excuse to draw a little girl in a frily dress.
My siamese/ conjoined twins that are connected at the hip and hair

And my so far my last completed decent sketch, the bearded lady. Very hairy.

I've had dam holding back ideas the past few weeks, so excuse me if some of my sketches and poses and clothes are lame. I'm hopefully going to work on them more as the days go by.

Now, while I was on complete art hiatus, I copied things out of books during my down time at work


This stuff is from a book on Hadrian. Lots of pretty stuff in that book

and last but not least, when in doubt, i turn to scantily clad women.

hopefully, next post will be more productive.

Bookplate


Bookplate for one of my managers at work. 

So the holidays are killing my soul and it excites me that all this will be over soon. I several pages of sketches, but have been way too lazy or busy to scan them. Ill get to it sooner or later.

Thanksgiving


Invitation to a thanksgiving dinner at my church. I always find smiling turkeys around thanksgiving a little disconcerting.
