Brothers, Sisters, Dinosaurs & Robots

Maggie Park

Mags - 9" x 12" - NFS (click to enlarge)


Moses Park

Moe - 9" x 12" - NFS (click to enlarge)

I finished these a little while back, but since I am handing these two off to Mike tomorrow at the Asian Man Records 13th year Anniversary Party in the Oakland A's Stadium, I finally got motivated to put these up. Monica Park was one of the first people to contact me about doing a commission, and here they are! She just told me to paint whatever, so I decided on a Dinosaur (duh) throwing a paper airplane to a Robot (double duh) who is catching it. I hope they like these, and I hope the kids they are named after (Maggie and Moses Park) will like them and enjoy having them on their walls as they get older.

I stole these from Monica's facebook page, I hope she doesn't mind, I just wanted to share with anyone who doesn't know the Parks how adorable their kids are:

DRAWING CHALLENGE #2 - The First 11 Drawings!

I'll be posting these up as I go, rather than trying to finish them all and then posting them. Last time I did ten, this time I set the limit at 15, but I'll probably wind up with 16-17. Between odds and ends around the office I've been hammering these out in my cubicle. These are the results, click on the image to make it all big and smudgy:

Check back soon! 5 or 6 more drawings on the way!

DRAWING CHALLENGE #2

Hey Everyone, let's get down to this:



1) I designed this logo for the Sound Scene Revolution Podcast. They interview lots of awesome punk rock-type bands. They interviewed my band DESA. I'm supposed to have a pizza eating contest with their host Rich aka DANTE3000, but I keep putting it off.

2) I have a terrible sunburn that just seems to be getting progressivly worse. I applied and re-applied sunscreen, looked fine when we got home, and then it just got more and more red. It puts the lotion on the skin. It smears the aloe. It puts the lotion in the basket.

3) I have been neglecting to put up the most recent paintings I have completed, I haven't posted anything new in a month! Have you forgotten about me? I will hopefully put up some new paintings soon, and then more moleskine drawings.

4) It's time for...

DRAWING CHALLENGE #2

I'm stuck working at the front desk today, so let's do this! For this to work, it requires some group participation: in the comments below, write one line that can be illustrated. (example: The Hamburgler jumping out of a cake at a bachelor party.) I will take the first fifteen that are posted, sketch them up, and post them. The one that I like the best, I'll turn into a painting, and the person who posted that idea gets the painting for free! LET THE DRAWING BEGIN!!!

moleskine (February)

While I finish up a couple of paintings, I'll post some more sketches! Here are all the drawings I did in my moleskine for February '09. Clicking on any of them will blow them up to gigantic larger-than-life size, in all their smudgy glory!

& the winner is...

#4 - "a penguin trying out to become a ghostbuster." - property of Joseph Edwards (12" x 24")

@ WORK

While ordering supplies, fixing computers, answering phones and answering ridiculous questions at work today, I still found time to draw this. How silly is that robot? You ain't got no brain, robot!! Those zombies can't hurt you! Ozzy zombie needs to chill out... where yo' legs at!?!?
I have three new paintings almost done, posting those soon, along with another month of the ol' 'skine and other odds & ends. Check back real soon!

Mornin' Neighbor! - 8" x 10" - SOLD (click to enlarge)

Hey, is this hard to read? Well, there was a problem... on his way out to take his morning walk, the robot spilled some of his coffee. It got all over the keyboard of my computer. Now the text won't stay still!!! Hopefully he can fix this. Thanks for stopping by again! I hope I'll have this sorted out in time for the next post! -AdamD
