PYBOT: Bunnies and Robots

I wanted to practice coloring, so I did these drawings for the 700 Things project on Flickr. They are:

600. The Katzenjammer Botz



45. Flophouse Flopsy (okay, so it's not in color)



and 492. Honeydew Bunnison

SFG: Cats

After meaning-but-failing to take part in SFG for the last 4 weeks, I bit the bullet, sat down and drew a page of cats.


Winsor & Newton Sceptre Gold II-size 00, Winsor and Newton China Ink on photocopy paper

Here are some of my favorites from the page:
dreaming cat

fancy cat

angry cat

wet cat

SFG: Advertising Character Update

Late for SFG, but early for Earth Day. Here's a quick sketch of Redi-Kilowatt. The only updating I did was giving him an energy efficient compact fluorescent bulb nose. And a belt. He looks good in a belt.
Redi sez: Update your bulbs and reduce your energy consumption.

SFG: Nintendo

SFG: Before and After

Before and after this witch's mis-cast spells.

Happy Pi Day

Here's a quick doodle for pi day. Have a slice at 1:59 (and 27 seconds if you're hardcore).

Whalevis

An old drawing, it went with an anti-pollution song sung to the tune of "Blue Suede Shoes."

SFG: Self Portrait and Introduction

Hey, Sugar Frosted People. My name is Meng (it's also Jerrold Connors but I go by Meng, my family and nick-name). It's my second post and I ought to have introduced myself first. So here's a self-portrait:



It's a quick sketch I did of myself this morning following meeting Sergio Aragonés at Wondercon this weekend. That's how I caricature myself, as an alligator. I figured an all animal universe would save me the trouble of caricaturing, but it's come with its own problems. Namely, do I designate animals to personalities? How do I draw pets? Where do I buy my steaks?

So I draw cartoons. I earned a reputation in children's educational media through some early web work and I'm currently working as Art Director with the multimedia group at the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley. I've done some self-publishing but still the majority of my work stays on my drawing table and I want to change that. So I'm pleased to be able to share this space with all the talent I see on SFG.

Here's a link to Alligator Boogaloo (my "company") and my sketch blog, the Mengshui.

By the way, Sergio Aragonés was great but I was starstruck (?!) and came over like a huge idiot. Afterwards (of course) I thought of all the things I could have said to him and was mad at myself so this is my retort when my wife tried to console me.
