Emily Is a Hairy Beast

I originally made this piece as a card for Emily. Attached was typography that read “Emily Is a Hairy Beast”. Although it is far from the truth, it is still fun to call her that when she gets a little armpit stubble.

PS: Love you Emily.

Goldie

 

I’m not sure when I did this pencil doodle. But the more I look at it, the more I think it’s a good start to a tattoo piece.

Trade / Blame

 

 

I found some more typography doodles. These were done while sitting through a Sociology class, Senior year.

 

 

 

Creative Service Logo

At my previous job we were sitting around, considering changing our department title to Creative Services and tossed around the idea of designing a logo to represent ourselves. This is what we decided upon.

Crooked Teeth

 

Here is a doodle I’ve been sitting on for a while. Came up with it back in College, intending to turn it into a much bigger piece. It still sits on my to-do list. Don’t be surprised if you see these Crooked Teeth again in the distant future.

Niles

It’s another English class doodle, straight outa 2010.

He reminded me of Niles from Frazier, so I named him such.

Frank

Frankenstein as a Junior College English Professor? Yep,  another in-class doodle. I sure accomplished a lot of doodling in my English classes. This isn’t a representation of my professor at the time. He actually resembled a long-winded, homeless, Gandalf. Great guy however, very interesting man, and ver passionate.

Craggy

During some downtime at my previous job, I came up with a challenge for myself. The challenge was to try and anthropomorphize an object into a character. One that could be recognized as a mascot for a fictional team or school.

With that outline I created this little fella above, with graphite and digital coloring. I never formally returned to the challenge, all  though you could look at my work and find plenty of pieces that fit the part.

This post also ties into last week’s, being that they are both the only stone characters I’ve ever created.

Strong, Silent

Need sleep. Can’t turn brain off.

Creativity always seems to strike at inopportune times. So what better to do than catalog some fresh ideas and catch up on my posting.

This fella here is another classic work time doodle. I would really like to see this in my future backyard, carved from stone like an Easter Island moai.

Poor Little Dead Dinos

 

These little guys were drawn during my fruitful stint working with the State of Ohio. What a great time, doodling and getting paid while working with awesome people. If you are reading this, I miss you guys.
