Oops... I Arted!

On this weblog I will post cartoon strips, drawings, one panel cartoons, sketches, and updates on the Lubbock comics community. I hope to get feedback, increase my artistic skills, and get 'those' ideas out of my head. Feel free to critique me.

There I sat all broken hearted,
tried to draw but only Arted.
Now I choose not to sweat it,
I can Art and not regret it.

Pintos, the motorized ones....

My friend Sara is now trying to trade a 1975 Hot Wheels Poison Pinto for a real Pinto. Here is my photoshop rendition of it:

If you are interested in trading for the toy, go here. Sara is willing to do as many trades as it takes.

Until we meet again,

I GOT THE FEVER!

I've been sick most of this week; fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, and just plain feeling tired.

Here is a quick photoshop sketch of me being sick,I did a few minutes ago:

(No, that's not a beret)

Just before I got sick, my friend Will and I went to the Mall and sketched people. It was a great time!

Until next time my friends. I remain,

This week's post: OLD ART!

I've been doing alot more sketching this week, I'm really feeling like I'm 'getting it' now....well part of 'it'. Sketch Club was a good success, it will only get bigger and better over time.

I couldn't get the scanner at my job to work, or get my butt to William's this week, so no new art. But I do have a some OLD ART (woohoo!). So here is one piece that I've been meaning to post for some time. The Bookcrossing cartoon submission I did last year. I held off on posting it because I wasn't sure if they would use in in anything. They haven't, so here it is. I call it 'The Prisoner'.

If you're not sure what the cartoon means, just go to the site and see what they do. Very cool.

Until next time I remain your humble blogger,

Lubbock Sketch Club

My friend William and I are trying to get a movement going in Lubbock, and the surrounding area. We believe for comic art to be an option in the mind of young people as a career, that we must begin by creating a community for it. Part of that idea is Lubbock Sketch Club. By creating a regular event two times a month, at a regular place, we can begin to find all of these artist who believe they are alone, or don't know what they can do with their skills.

So often I see people who have artistic talents and interests, but don't go much past 'doodling' because they don't believe that they can do anything with it. One recent example is grafitti I've seen at the old channel 28 building. I'll add a picture later.

I think these young artists have great ability, spray paint is not an easy medium. But probably they never will do anything more than this. Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass, but I think if I'd had a strong art community when I was growing up, I would be leagues ahead of my current talent.

So, anyways check out the new Lubbock Sketch Night Blog, comment, tell your friends, tell those weird people sitting in the corner drawing in their notebooks, let them know that they are only as alone as they want to be.
