Toos-day Jam

I started attending drawing jam sessions with some of the guys at work. Its every tuesday at a certain location after work and we just free jam whatever we feel like drawing. My first drawing warm-up was a stripey worm and then I started work on a character design for an upcoming project. She came out more eighties than I intended, but I might keep the eighties theme. It's all probably residue from Retrobution at the Warehouse last Saturday. What was old is suddenly new again.

Gabriel

A quick blueline and ink of Gabriel from Constantine. 15 mins off a paused frame of the movie. Many, many people hated that movie. I did not. Suck it.

P.S. I intend to use this blog for various arts and sketches. It occurs to me that one post a month is silly. Downright silly. Expect more from me in vary amounts, mediums and qualities.

Rock Poster

Less than a week away from X-fest and this lil poster will be on the streets soon enough. We're going to start doing up Rock Posters for every convention we attend, so look around, look around. If you'd like a print of this poster, they'll be for sale at the show. Also on sale is the Comics Jam War book that some of were published in. We'll be selling that book as well at a special discount price, or if you already own the book, bring it in for some Cocksure signatures.

Remember, that's X-fest at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Center 1320 - 5ht Ave NW, this Saturday August 12th. Doors open at 11:00am and close at 4:30pm. Be there or be shanked.

***Update. Posters are up along 17th Ave downtown. You can get an unstapled, pristine, cardstock print of this poster at the X-fest show for only 3 bucks! Support us or we die.***

Southern Sketches

Howdy gangsters!

I spent last week in Albuquerque, New Mexico. What pray tell was I (Vince) doing there? I was sent on a business trip to briefly train a supervising animator and do some animation work for the Duke City Shootout film festival. It was pretty cool, they had a competition for films made in 48 hours during that week as well as a special event entitled, A Night with Ralph Bakshi. That's right, the man himself was there and interviewed on his past, present and future. And whadda ya know, this VIP animator got to hang with him in the green room. Ralph's a cool guy and my respect for him jumped a few notches that night. I also got to hang with Adrian Carter of Smiley Guy Studios, who directs Odd Job Jack and Sons of Butcher. Very cool guy, knows his tequila very well.

So all in all, a damn good time. Respect to Ralph, his son Eddie and Jess of the Bakshi School of Animation and Cartooning, Peg Ellithorpe of the Duke City Shootout, Heather and Reggie, Chris Kientz, Adrian Carter and all the other mad cats I met down in NM.

I also did a few sketches while I was down there. I tried a Beardsley approach and inked with no line quality. Here's two of the better ones.

Peace out bitches! Watch INCONVENIENT TRUTH right away!
