Popeye before his eye 'popped' out.

2008-06-19T03:27:00.000-07:00

Well, I couldn't wait 2 weeks for my monitor so I went and got a second hand one for 20 bucks.
It's small but at least I can start inking again and stuff. So here's a scene, I think the colors are a bit gordy...

2008-06-12T20:23:00.000-07:00

Thanks to the majesty of other peoples artsites and computers I'm able to post whilest my screens in intensive care.
These pics and more were taken at 'studio 19' Sarah's paint-off party. You can check out more and cool comments from Bobby Bee at http://www.studio-19.deviantart.com/

Just to let anybody know, my computer screen died, so I can't do anything on my computer for a while...

John K original, my sketch, then both, then my ink.

G'day folks, before you say "Blah"!
With this picture I wasn't going for total accuracy, more of a practice and trying to replicate that painted style.
First I roughly sketched the background and using good ol' connector pens did some coloring.
Then I started painting in photoshop.
Did the same with George, Jimmy and Nutty.
Final step was to piece it together and wack it up here!

2008-05-30T06:22:00.000-07:00

Original HB drawings, then I inked them in iIllustrator, followed by coloring in photoshop. I'm happy with it.

Original John K sketch, Inked in Illustrator a caricature of me.

Mr Shiny

The roof colour on this is terrible, blah!
What was I thinking?

2008-05-27T19:14:00.000-07:00

Incredible George.

Crap sketches, there's more better ones on my other blog.

Like this American 'tradition' southern fried humingbird. These pictures were painted 'traditionaly', by filling the mouth with paint and spitting over the paper!

2008-05-22T06:49:00.000-07:00

Hula Hawaii!
Painted but without a skirt.

Hula Hawaii!
Enjoy,
bright colors,
nice.
Ahhh Ooohhh!

2008-05-20T19:54:00.000-07:00

More to come if it's any good?

2008-05-20T16:11:00.000-07:00

Just a re-post (click on it, it looks better)
A gorgeous sweet dog Mugzy.
And a freakin' bloody big stick insect! and a prickly one at that.

2008-05-18T05:10:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention tuning keys will be soon on the ukulele.

Kali Fontecchio's 'Hula Girl', that she kindly said I said I could sculpt.
Head before baking .

The skirt is temporary and so is the flower, probably.
Now for a shiny coat of paint!

The start of 'Hula Girl', a Kali Fontecchio character.
Taking photos of my work shows me what's wrong with what I've done.
My eye doesn't always see one perspective, it see's too much and rounds it out (if that makes any sense?)
I thought it looked fine but the camera has told me that the hair 'bounce?'
is to big 'n' bouncy, so I'll need to cut it back.
more to come.....

(the more is some of the rest of the stuff above) .
