We're gonna make some promotional buttons!

Just got back from Drink & Draw, where in a few weeks we'll be drawing and pressing our own buttons! I roughed out a few ideas which I plan to clean up and mass-produce.

So hey, if you're in Portland join our mailing list and come to a drink & draw night! drinkdraw.com!

More caricatures

I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons with some very cool and accommodating guys that I know through work. They let me draw these rather-unflattering caricatures, and even posed in imitation of my weak likenesses so the drawings would look better than they really are. Thanks, guys!







Meanwhile I also did a caricature of a cousin of mine -- my mom's drawing her wedding invitation and needs some help with the previsualization. Mom: please apply your own judgment; the eyebrows are too high, which makes her look dumb, and there are other issues as well.



Also here's a business card that I drew a long time ago and never posted. It's the last one that I haven't given away (I'm holding it for Clifton) and I'd have drawn more already except that I ran out of blanks and haven't had a minute to do more cutting. Soon!

Kitty Pryde in: THE BEST X-MAN

I'm going to be in an art show at Floating World Comics, for the benefit of the hemophilia department at OHSU. It's called Full of Pryde, and a lot of people much more talented than myself are making fan art about the X-Men character Kitty Pryde.

Meager attempts at caricatures

At a Drink & Draw last Sunday I met the recently re-crowned fastest caricaturist in the world -- Mr. Steve Dorris. To my great honor he seemed to be a fan of my work, and paid me real money to draw a quick sketch of a superhero pooping -- which he added to his sizeable collection thereof. He even threw in a free caricature of ME pooping, which is bizarrely accurate to my actual pooping technique. See for yourself.

Anyway, he's amazing, and when he turned out last night at the Drink & Draw that I organize, I was inspired to try my hand at capturing some of the more distinctive faces at our table (and at the mic, once the Gypsy's karaoke crowd night started winding up.) Here's what I've got so far -- I'm excited to get better.
