Random Page in My SketchBook... The "Stoopid Fish" and "Bunny Poops" ones made me Giggle while I was Sketchin'... Then I thought, "What if the bunny was Bad-Ass"???


Stella was havin' a Great Day the Day I Doodied this one, I was not...


L8R 4 You,

T...

HOLA!!!
Remember when I posted that "Cole Cutz" character sketch, and I wrote that when I found the others, I'd post them.. No?.? Well, here they are any way, and some vectors from 2002... Man, I've come a long way with Illustrator... Now, if I can only get better at PhotoShop...... Now these are for an idea my friend Juan Gomez and I came up with a while back... He came up with the Hash Brown character and idea, and I couldn't help but sketch that little dude out... Havin' done that, I couldn't stop designin' characters for this idea... How many of them will actually get used is anyone's guess, but I had a blast comin' up with'em...

Enjoy








Mo' Stuff Later,
Tony

Happy Saturday...

This morinin's post has a few things in it... First off, is

Raf's Interview

over at

comicon.com

... He talks about "The Apocalypse Plan", one of his several projects bein' published by

Narwain

... Along with the interview, is a 5 page preview of the book, with art by Aaron Kuder (And it's Beautimous)... This book is gonna kick some major ass, and prove what I and many others already know, that Rafael Nieves is a brilliant writer whose "Come Uppance" is right around the corner... Check out the interview and art, maybe even leave a comment on what you think about it... Show your support, cuz' in the end, all we've got is each other...


Secondly, here's a post-it doodle I did after noshin' on some Chicago's Pizza... It felt kinda' blah, and like such a generic lil sketch... Well,

Norm

saw it, and asked for a scan... I hooked him up with it, and the next day, he emailed this colorful piece to me... It got lost amongst all my crap, but I found it, and wanted to share it with you guys and girls...


Thirdly, a few more older sketch-a-doodles of mine...

I have a tendency to not be able to throw things away... Even small bits of bristol board... I figure they might make for cool disposable pieces of sketchin' paper... And, this is one of them...


When I used to be an usher at the Auditorium Theatre, I had visual access to many different kinds of people... They came from all walks of life, and this lady was no exception... This is what she looked like, all I did was make her look cartoony... I just might use this design for something, someday...


Yes... I saw "Finding Nemo" a few days before drawin' this...


I doodled this one while waitin' for my Momz delayed flight... It's a good thing I brought my sketchbook with me, cuz' it was 3 and a half hours late...


Well, that's it for this post... Check out that

Interview

, grab your doodlin' supplies, go down to a public place and sketch out some stuff or people or what have you... Get out there be creative and have some fun...

Much Love,

Tony

Chicago's RedLine L Sketches...

Here's another "Oldie" post... Back when I used to take the RedLine to work everyday, the only thing that would make that long-ass commute bearable, was that I'd sketch people on the train... It was a great way to warm-up before gettin' into work and capture so many different looks... Occasionally, someone might see that I was drawin' them, which usually resulted in them either hidin' behind their Sun-Times, or muggin' for the cartoonist (Which would piss me off, especially if I was happy with the sketch)... However, others were so oblivious to everything, they made easy targets... Ahhh, Good Times, Good Times...









If I find anymore, I'll post'em...

Later,

Tony

Update Time...
I know it's been over a week, but here we go... First off, my apologies to those who have seen these "Oldies" already... I have posted these on the

Drawing Board Forums

before, but not here... More later, when I get a minute...

Just a few Warm-Up Sketch-A-Doodles... Just how I start a day of "Arting" for someone else... I'll usually throw some grey tones on later, dependin' on how much time I've got available to warm-up...






"Domo Arrigato, Mr. Roboto"...


I liked this little guy, so he got his own page...


Later,

Tony
