What? Never seen a piggy bank brush his teeth?

new and improved

This new version is far more Boris Karloff looking than the old version.

Then & Now

 Old on the left, new rough on the right.

I've seen quite a few artists do this; take an old design from many years ago and do a new version. So here's my first "Then & Now" entry. I designed this Frankenstein about 10 years ago. I liked him a lot at the time, but the new one is going to blow the old version away.

action scripting

One new head shape, a couple new bodies, some new new shirt colors and VOILA! Endless variations are possible. I'm putting together a little action script paper doll thing to mix and match all the parts.

hockey hair

I saw some kids on tv tonight during the Montreal vs. Toronto game. They had your classic hockey hair, very cute. It inspired me to design a couple more hair styles.

Hard to pick a favorite.

This is an old piece. It used to be on my old site.

more Betty Page

Betty Page yet again

2nd Page

I don't know what's with the Betty Page fascination these past couple days.

chaps

It just makes sense that if you have a show about a kid with magic pants that transform into just about anything, that the pants would turn into chaps if we ever did a cowboy episode. Whether or not we can get away with it is a different story.

countess

I was watching some cheesy old horror movie about a female Dracula. The movie sucked, but the woman playing Countess Dracula was inspiring enough to do this quick sketch.

These character rotation line-ups always remind me of a police mug shot for some reason.

SPLAT

I've been trying for a while to digitally paint an abstract, sort of splatter, effect in photoshop. I finally achieved exactly the effect I was going for in the top pic. In the bottom, I added the white outline of a bg with some colored rocks, and the character.

tent

You'd think having PANTS that turn into a tent would be a good thing. This is a collaboration I did with Errol Burke...turned out pretty darn funny, I must say.

weird

This is a secondary, recurring character in this series we are developing. The idea for this guy actually started with a totally different idea we were developing. It was for a short based on this guy, but it was definitely not a kids show. It was supposed to be a very raunchy, disturbing, adult animated short. Somehow the character just seemed to fit in our current series in development. Of course we had to change him a bit, but he's still disturbing and creepy. This time he has a strawberry nose...trust me, you don't want to know what part of his anatomy was a strawberry in the original version of him.

guinea pig

I still want to add the mutant monster to this shot, but now I'm not sure where he'll go. Maybe the assistant with the gnarled hand is enough for this pic. I can always do another poster...with the monster.

The Brain That Wouldn't Die

I love this movie. I want to draw a couple other characters from this film and add them to this shot.

Bette Davis

Haven't done a girl drawing in a while. So here's a quick one.

Acid Trip

 The imposter.

 The real Unicorns.

There's something surreal about the way the Unicorns look. The stuff I watched as a kid, H.R. PufnStuf, the World of Oz, and the 60's SpiderMan are all very trippy when I see them today. That's what these Unicorns remind me of...a 60's acid trip induced cartoon. The only difference is I designed them without drugs.

Stretch Pants

beast of burden

A little gag for a project in development. His pants have a mind of their own. When needed the pants can invert their pockets and use them as arms.

NUNCHUCKS

His pants know Martial Arts.
