011: ...I Don't Even Know 'Er!

Some of the better results from freesketching with my brushpen.

010: One Spoons-Player Short of a Jug Band

Any excuse to draw a tanuki.

009: Casanova Quinn

Might have another piece up later to make up for yesterday's missed update. Might not. The blues have been killing my will to do much of anything lately.

008: It's Been One Of Those Days...

007: Michael M.O.O.R.E.D.O.K.

006: Super Turturro Brotha

Trying to sketch John Turturro as Luigi* from Mario Bros. Lately my friends and I have been brainstorming how we'd make a Mario Bros. movie and the one thing we all agree on is that John Turturro should play Luigi. The jury's still out on who would be Mario (or any other character for that matter).

*Drawn straight to pen without reference. Maybe someday I'll redraw it with a better likeness.

005: Quickie Ninja

guh...

004: Bad Puns & Action Poses

Unedited inks for Wrestling Theatre strip #204:

(rough panel borders added for clarity)

EDIT: The final version of the strip for comparison:

003: O Yes, There Shall Be Keytar!

002: Ms. Botwin

001: Self Portrait After Fight + Intro

This is the first post of what will hopefully be a daily artblog. While I was inspired to start this by some other folks' sketchblogs, I don't really have a format in mind. Some (hell, most) days will probably feature a pencil or ink sketch. Some days I may be more ambitious. I believe I'll figure it out as I go along.

When I came up with the title of this blog, I was thinking of David Cronenberg's Videodrome. In my head, I was thinking idio- was just short for "idiot". However, I decided to break out ye olde dictionary and found that idio- means "distinct or personal", while -drome refers to "a place for running". Basically a personal running space. In a way this is appropriate– My Art Legs are weak from lack of use. Time to get some exercise.
