(painting) Northern Boobscape

I was discussing Canadian art the other day and my co worker kept referring to the Group of Seven and their "wonderful landscapes that totally capture the Canadian experience."  That got me thinking about painting another Boobscape, this time taking place in the frozen north.  The idea is that the landscape is cold, yet inviting.  I  would like to thank  all the girls out there on the internet who post pictures of themselves naked, without you as reference material this painting would never have been possible.

 I've had this idea in my head for a little while now.  A kids book for amputees.  The original story had to bee tweaked here and there because of how it played with stereotypes.  Hell stereotypes are the entire baseis of the book.  All the kids in the story are stereotypes themselves but are stereotyping Aaron the entire time.  The story is also about overcoming those same stereotypes.

This is a  quick layout of the story the final illustrations will be "hand" painted with my left hand.

Any feedback I could get before the finishing touches are made would be great. 

 If you had the chance of seeing the entrie preview, you win a gold star.  If not, the above is the first few pages.  The book is short, but not that short.

(painting, digital illustration) Christmas Time Has Past

 

For Christmas this year I made art instead of running around from store to store.  For my friend Laura, I painted a human skull made up from different animal skulls.  Trust me it makes sense if you know the kind of art she makes.  In fact you can see it at laurascholey.com.

My Friend DC was a more playful gift.  I made copies of the new Adventures of Batman and Robin. The DVD's needed cases so I made musical interpretations of Batman.  The 1st is the classic parody of Jingle Bells  "jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, the batmobile lost it's wheel and the joker got away"

 

The 2nd is based on Electric Light Orchestra's Don't Bring Me Down

 

Neither of theses would exist if I hadn't spoofed Stuck in the Middle with You last year

 

(painting) It's Begining To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 First things first I need to apologize for the images below.  No matter how I turned the photos they upload like this.  If you strain your neck I know a great chiropractor.
So having a limited budget this year I have decided to make my own gifts.  First on the list is my mother.  What do you get your mother?  I had found a box of used wall tile on my way home from work one night and snagged a few.  Using India ink I illustrated Santa, Frosty, Rudolph, an angel, the baby Jesus, and a Christmas tree.  That's one person down and ever so many to go.

Happy Halloween

(comic) The Weather with Dan & Martha

Oh that Dan, such a punny guy.  How does Martha put up with him?  Not only do we get to once again peek in at the domestic lives of Dan and Martha, but also we see more of their lovely apartment.  Before this comic it seemed apartment 312 was only one windowless room with wood paneling on the walls, and the closest thing to furniture being a green phone on an end table. Now they have themselves a living room with a window and laundry in the apartment.  If utilities are included in their rent they are set, even if porn producers work down the hall.

(digital illustration) Cody Cupman Is Back

 A little while back I introduced the character Cody Cupman and all the wonderful things he does (http://guidentheway.blogspot.ca/2010/05/cody-cupman.html).  After creating those paintings I continued to think of more and more things that make Cody Cupman Cody Cupman.  I moved all the scribbled ideas onto a few pages of my sketch book and began selecting ones to move forward with.  These are the first four chosen.
