Maybe it's time to pick up the pen.

It's been almost 5 years. Holy shit. I think I'll give this a try again very soon. It would be nice to do another creative round.

100 Days of Kindergarten Project

I've been working on some illustrations at work lately, which has been cool. So, maybe I'll put some of that up soon. But, until then, I have to drop this on. M had a 100 Days of Kindergarten project, and Patrizzia saw some people adding 100 eyes to monster drawings. So, last night, we did ours. I drew this guy with Sharpies, and M helped me color it with Sharpies, Crayon and paint for the stars. And, we dropped on 100 googly eyes. This was so much fun to do, and she loved it. I can't wait to do another fun project with her.

Happy Holidays 2011

My goodness, it's been 10 months since I added any new artwork. I suppose the grind of doing a daily drawing, scanning it and posting it for 17 months straight (started in October 2009) was just getting old. Anyhow, I plan to do some more things, but I doubt that it will be daily. Oh well. What does it matter? I do miss drawing that often. So, just to put something new up, here is this year's Holiday Illustration that I had to do at work. You can see the last 2 I did right here: http://johngundichdoodles.blogspot.com/search/label/Photoshop%20Coloring

Lame. Yes, I know. But, it was not my idea. I just created what they asked for. So, I'm an art whore. What are you gonna do? Boy, I do miss posting things.

Oh, and I did this entire piece on Photoshop using the drawing tablet. So, I drew a sketch first, then an ink layer, and then layers of coloring. So much fun.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Nope. Still not dead.

I've been keeping up with the drawing every day...peppered with a couple "fails" in there. My interest is waning, but I've kept with it. Once we get some things in order at home, I'll have the time to scan all these little doodles and drop them in. Damn. That really takes a long time.

So, in the meantime, here are a couple book cover illustrations I did a years ago for freelance jobs (2005 and 2008). They are both acrylic paintings and were done actual size (about 10" x 8"). I also did the text designs, and the second one with the new Pope is much better. Maybe I'll throw up a few other things until I get the time to scan in the doodles. Enjoy.

Little Forehead

This guy has a LITTLE FOREHEAD. Forget anything you've ever heard about this guy. His forehead is NORMAL and not at all GARGANTUOUS. So, leave him alone, and pay no attention to those terrible rumors.

Death

After a couple weeks of incredible snowfall and record breaking low temperatures, today made it over 40 degrees. That's amazing. It's about 65 degrees warmer than it was 3 days ago. Crazy. Anyway, all the snowmen across the land are feeling death's warm grip today. Take THAT....you evil balls of ice.
