The Downtrodden Plumbah'

Almost instantly the plumber came to a heartbreaking realization,

His Princess was in ANOTHER castle,
and he'd most certainly be late for his dinner reservations.

I've been away for so long...
So take this sketch...

Hope you dig,

ROTH!

Yesterday in the year 1932, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was born in Beverly Hills, California. I'd watched a film about his life and Custom auto work a few months back and figured that making him a caricature study was a good idea... He has a fantastic face for drawing studies, very expressive.

The film Tales of the RAT FINK was great too. A 2006 release narrated by John Goodman with some fun editing and motion graphics work in it. I think you can watch still watch it online too...
So much inspiration in his work.

Hope you dig,

BOAT FANATIC

This is Horatio, he likes boats... Schooners, clippers, steamers, and U's... it doesn't matter.. He just gets wild eyed crazy when he's out on the beach with his Boats..
I'm still working on my illustrator chops and applying bits of photoshop where I don't completely understand all of the illustrator functions for shading, gradation, and texture applications. Furthermore I've had a little Bob Staake on the brain with my drawings and recent re-introduction to Illustrator... I love shape based drawing so much..

Hope you dig..

SFG: FOOD

The SFG needs its morning meal!!...
MORE ENERGY FOR ART FILLED DAYS....
Might I suggest, you get extra bacon,
and make it extra crisp...the cheddar
is also very good today..

...and remember Ketchup is rich in
LYCOPENE. So don't miss the chance
to add some red sauce to your breakfast
sanny.


Bagels can be substituted for a roll for
1$ extra...

Bon appetite.

SFG: FISH

Ladies and Gentlemen....the fish-a-puss..
Early fishermen and sailors often told tales of seeing strange beasts during their long trips at sea. Famed among these fabled sightings, was talk of the man faced fish that trapped food in with his long natural mustache whiskers. Whilst smocking a pipe stuffed with kelp and chunks of natural corral.

It was originally called a "BRISTLY FISH", but in 1673 the French oceanongrapher REMY LA AQUAVELVA named this fish the "poissons de moustache",or "Fish with Mustache. Sightings of these creatures of the blue have all but vanished in recent years...
To a point where modern fish nomenclature tells us that its uncommon for a fish to have facial hair. But this is truly a rare and fascinating fish.

Indeed a most bountiful moustache of the deep.
