cowboys and critters

Full view, s'il vous plait :)
this is about 11x17. biggest thing I've done in awhile. Acrylic and micron pen here and there. I'm getting goofier and cartoonier as time goes on, and i think I like it.

and I really don't know why i drew this. It's me chasing a cat that's stolen my choco chip cookie dough. Durn varmints.

I'll shoot your hat as many times as I wanna

5 minute acrylic doodles make me happy.
watching too many clint eastwood movies... :D

Hello darlings. It's been a wild ride, and it looks like a few curves ahead. All good. I mean, curves are awesome, right?That's my cowboy mural. There was an AK47 painted on the floor, too.
There's Greg's awesome mural.



Anyways, we had The Gun Show. Man, I can't tell you how amazed I am that it happened, and how incredibly happy and grateful I am with its success. I pulled that show together in a week, and would never have been able to do it without the help and support of my friends. Special thanks to Greg Caggiano, who helped me set it all up in his studio space, and Brett Seamans n Lucy Lott for helping me get the ball rollin'. Thanks to everyone who gave me work to show, INCLUDING my professors <3

In other news, looks like I'm stayin in Rochester. Good people, good art scene, and I'll probably be sharing studio space in the Hungerford with the previously mentioned Greg and others. If all works out, we'll be trying to do a show like the Gun Show every month.

I'm happy about it. I love my friends here. I'm looking forward to a summer of painting and good music.

Tomorrow- going to Toronto to see Rammstein for the third effing time. Yeaah.
Then pulling things together for the honors show, class, a commission from the barn I ride at (i helped pull a horse's tooth out... gnarly) and other things.

Djangoooo again

sort of coloured... I think i'm going to stick to the mono...
I tightened it up a bit here and there.

Django monochrome

There's some things i'll probably change/tweak when I color it later tonight.

The last two portraits I did (clint eastwood and jeff bridges) were really loose, so I tried to tighten this one up a bit.

This is Django, of the Spaghetti Western of the same name. He is the MAN. Carries a submachine gun around in a coffin.

photoshop CS5, 2 1/2 hours I think? Dunno, wasn't paying attention to time.

The Good. Clint.

monochrome- 1 1/2 hours.

Colour- one more hour so 2 1/2 hours in all.

I think i like the one i did of jeff bridges better.

Oh well, had fun :)

photoshop cs5

bronco

not sure i like the outline. Since this was just a quick one, I probably won't fix it.
Background
Idea.

more photoshop.

'nother cowboy ill. I have another one dreamed up already that I'll sketch up tonight. It'll be another cowboy, but he won't be doing cowboy things. For once.

... I think i just like drawing outrageous cartoony expressions lately.

On cowboys and armadillers

On another cowboy kick.

Photoshop cs5

havin' fun. Not really that tight on the colouring but hey, I had fun. AND there's an armerdiller!

may do more to it sometime, but it was really just more for fun. May do another tonight.

Cowboy mailer

so I decided to do a second mailer because this is another style i have a lot of fun doing.

THis guy happened as I was doodling in class. And so now I acrylic'd him.

8x9. will resize for card when i'm not sleep deprived/burnt out.
