Sketchbook: Bear problems

Click for personal thoughts on bear-related matters-


I might start mixing animals up.. or maybe assorted kinds of bears?

..but then does it become an awkward nationality or racial thing?

More Filler!

In an effort to put some wood on the little campfire that is my blog, here are more sketches, some more recent than others.

As always, CLICK for optimal image display-


First, above we have a bit of concept art for a comic I made for an as yet unreleased CD by composer Michael Perilstein (The Deadly Spawn, Winterbeast). Buy his The Least Worst of Michael Perilstein, and you will not only enjoy some of his finest music (plug!), but you will also see the first comic I did for him a few years back. I suppose I own this image as it didn't end up in this comic, but my current profile picture is actually from yet another comic that I worked with him on, and therefore he technically holds copyright on it (!). I, however, retain ownership of myself and Michael Perilstein likewise holds all rights to Michael Perilstein. Above we find him in France.


Birds are always pretty good.

Attempts to draw my old roommate's dog.. Honestly, it doesn't really look like her.


Why not?

Animals Smoking

Smoking is awful. It's terrible. I'm going to quit, I promise (right after this next one). Yes, smoking is a disgusting habit, but there's a grand tradition of smoking animals in comics, cartoons and other visual arts. From Herriman's Gooseberry Sprig to Kozik's Smorkin' Labbits, many an animal has partook in this nasty yet somehow enjoyable vice.. I felt like drawing some of my own-


These rabbits came out okay.


The thing I like about this one is how the one on the right is holding his cigarette without the aid of opposable thumbs.


I don't know about this bear.. I messed him up twice and tried to fix him without white-out, and he turned into a mess of sloppy hatching (I criticize myself so you don't have to! Comments welcome). I think he's holding his arm because he's emo or something- He came out sadder than intended, thanks to my wrist having a mind of its own when I was inking the mouth.
