I Don't Want to Work, I Just Wanna Bang on the Drum All Day...

Quick update to a previous post. This is the finished design I went with for our work blog. I kept the same basic layout as the old one, which is here if anyone missed it and cares. The bear is pretty lame (though a bear was specifically requested...for some reason), but I ended up liking his presence as it gave me something to fuck around with on holidays and stuff. This is what I put in place on Halloween, for example. I'm working on a Thanksgiving one at the moment, but I fear I may not have allowed enough room at the top for his ridiculous pilgrim hat. Fucking pilgrims, did they contribute anything to the world except for giving John Wayne an awesome catch phrase? Probably not, but I'm not good at history.

Thanks for your help on the last post, Ryan.

Bearback...

I was tasked with coming up with a logo for our work blog that featured "Grizz, the Info Bear" (it's a long, and tedious story). After about a dozen attempts of varying stylization (but consistent terribleness) I decided to go the route of a true professional, and lazily recycle the understructure I used for my last post. Classy!



If anyone reads this in the next day or so, please, give me your honest, no holds barred feedback. This is for work, so I want to know if I'm posting garbage for dozens of people to see. If it's some ass, tell me it's some ass. If it gives you boners, tell me it gives you boners, then report to jail.

In an effort to keep it simple, easily reproduced and easily adjusted in size, I decided to forgo any type of inking/line weight and use the straight up stroke tool in Illustrator. I worry that may have backfired and the result is hacky and amateurish. The background paint splatter is most likely a temporary place holder until I figure out a color scheme, and I'm sure I'll add titles/text for the final. If you want to know specifically what it will be used for, go here to see what I'm working (inflicted?) with. I'm going to replace the whole thing, but I'm keeping the same basic structure, so bearforce 1 over here is going to take the place of "George Mason University" in the upper right hand circular area over there. If you have feedback on what I can do with the rest of that jonx, I'd love to hear that as well.

The Fatman Cometh...

Killing time at work on a Saturday night.



Sorry I've been MIA lately. I'm a busy little bee(otch).

I draw m'self... again

I want to re-vamp my website and thought about doing a portrait for my banner. This was just coming out way too creepy though.

Rip-off

I started doodling and then decided to totally ape someones style.

Me So Horny...

Webdesign element I'm abandoning because it looked like warmed over shit.


A masculine looking devil woman. I think the FBI could generate a psychological profile of significant heft on me based on just this little doodle.

You should see the other girl. Heyooooo!

Oh, awesome! Now that the site is enfuego I've ONCE AGAIN lost all of my uploaded pictures and filled this blog with broken images! In honor of life kicking my ass:



Yeah, when I draw myself it looks nothing like me. Perhaps this is how I idealize myself, which, I guess says a lot considering the ideal me is broken, bloody and missing teeth.

Dragon Balls...



This was my most ambitious one yet due to the gun and all the shadows, so it's also my weakest one yet. The figure is hard to read, and the likeness is especially bad. Whatevs.

Supposedly the Chinese characters say "kung fu dragon", but I don't speak Chinese, so in reality they probably say something about testicles and candy (which would be ironic, as those were the characters I was actually looking for). Also, here's an earlier version before I went ape shit on doo-dads.

Lincoln did not actually wear a necktie

First he'd light up a smoke,
Then he'd start droning on about Calvinism,
Then he'd get those "Kermit eyes."
