Beary Hungry

2011-06-13T10:09:00.000-07:00

I decided to give gouache a whirl and whipped this up for the Meth & Hotdogs 2 event over at Lift Detroit.

I'll probably toss this up for sale on Etsy.

Hey Teacher..

2010-10-04T09:09:00.001-07:00

Was asked to draw the teacher from that one Pink Floyd video, along with a young Roger Waters. I don't really like how either turned out. Maybe a few revisions are in order.

And here are a couple quick pen/watercolor doodles of Roger.

Yowza, I need to post more...

I've discovered (the hard way) that my body does not get along with Poison Oak at alllllll. After spending one summer day tending to the overgrown garden I awoke the next morning with small blisters/boils all over my arms, legs and chest. Aaaaand then they got worse:

Aches all over. Crazy boils the size of McNuggets. It was a scary sight. But after two weeks of antibiotics everything is back to normal. Phew.

While on the subject of scary/awesome. Here's a photo I took of a mean little spider just seconds before he jumped from the playground right on to the camera. I was quite proud of the fact that I didn't scream. I remained calm and just brushed the little guy away trying to keep my cool in front of the kids. :D

Egg Project Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

2010-06-30T13:54:00.001-07:00

This is what happens when I don't get enough sleep. Things burn. Somehow I managed to set the oven 150F higher than what the sculpey baking instructions called for. Mmmmm toasty key!

Not sure about this step just yet. While it was going to be the bomb type I was going for... I think I might like it with just the fins a little better. Going to let it rest for now while I finish up the bot.

2010-06-25T10:08:00.000-07:00

Holy moly, I haven't posted anything in ages! To counter that I shall now post a couple tiny pics of something I'm doing for the Egg Project over on www.apedogs.com .

What time is it?!!??!?

2010-03-08T22:04:00.001-08:00

I decided to update the older pic and make some changes to Princess Bubblegum.

And a Rainicorn from my sketchbook:

I can stand the sight of worms...

2010-02-21T22:34:00.000-08:00

And look at microscopic germs, but technicolor pachyderms is really too much for meeeeeee! Here are a few elephant scribbles.

I'm with Coco-coco-coco-coco!

2010-02-05T13:39:00.000-08:00

I see it written everywhere.... "I'm with Coco"

But instead of seeing Conan, my mind conjures up Coco from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Yar!

M is for... Timmy-o?

2009-10-21T12:46:00.000-07:00

Well.. I had planned on drawing Mario, but after watching Fairly Odd Parents with the kids (Our two year old calls it "Franky Art Parents" :D ) Mario somehow turned into Timmy...o.

Hmmm. Now that I look at it again..he kind of looks like Timmy dressed as Magnum P.I., dressed as Mario. Yarr!

Might work on this one some more.

Franklin C. Butterscotch - Time Traveller

2009-05-20T12:41:00.000-07:00

Here's a character and backstory I whipped up for the Artpg (art roleplaying game) over on the apedogs forum:

Born in England in the year 1785, young Franklin C. Butterscotch led a somewhat normal life. As a wee lad Franklin enjoyed bird watching, collecting beetles, and hiking though the wilderness.

However, an unfortunate event soon forced young Franklin to put his hobbies aside and devote himself entirely to the fields of medicine and science. For at the tender age of 14, while trekking through the darkest and most deadly regions of Africa with his father, Sir Reginald Butterscotch, they were attacked by the most ferocious of creatures: The African Lion. It was there that his father was mauled to death before his very eyes, and I'm sure young Franklin would have been next, if it weren't for his cunning skill, swift feet and lightning reflexes. After killing the lion and spending three months lost in the jungle, a mature Franklin C Butterscotch emerged. He vowed to never let another precious life be taken.

Years of medical school had passed. Stories of his devotion to the field of medicine and science spread throughout the land and soon our very own Franklin became Royal Physician to Queen Victoria. It was during one of his visits with the Queen that Franklin discovered a mysterious purpleish glow eminating from his medical bag. He approached the bag with caution, unable to comprehend what was happening before him. Unbeknownst to him howerver was the fact that a wormhole, one of the universe's rarest mysteries, had formed inside it. He forced the bag wide open, and was immedietly warped inside, travelling through the cosmos to a time he did not know, leaving behind his beloved wife Anne, his Queen, and his country.

Though his jumps through the fabric of time are random, he hopes to someday master the wormhole and return to his loving wife Anne in the year 1840. And so, Sir Franklin C. Butterscotch finds himself leaping from past to future, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap, will be the leap home....

Back to School

2007-10-09T10:08:00.000-07:00

A little something for Eatpoo again for the challenge titled "Back to School" :

Way way back in the 1980's my family lived in the land down under, Australia, and loved it. So, when my parents told us their plan to move back to Czechoslovakia we were very much against the idea. We were too accustomed to the marvels of modern life, such as rich chocolatey cereal, Saturday morning cartoons, and Star Wars action figures. All of which we later came to find were non-existant in the dark commie depths of Czechoslovakia.

It was during one of our daily "We don't want to go to Czechoslovakia!" tantrums, when my mum burst out with "In Czechoslovakia kids ride to School in Helicopters!"

My brother and I stopped. We looked at eachother...and YAY!

In a blink of an eye ,our minds were made up. Czechoslovakia, you radical land of helicopters, oh how we love you!

Of course upon arrival, we soon found out our mum had lied to us about the entire thing.

There were no helicopters to wizz happy students off to school. Only smelly old buses and trams filled with fat old ladies. :(

For the past couple of days I've been sketching down some ideas in an attempt to make a t-shirt design submission for threadless.com... one thing lead to another and I came up with "Tulip McSkullington & Friend".
Still feel it's missing something so I've only submitted it as a "critique" for now.

Edit: Played around with the whole eeeevil roots idea some more...

Not quite sure, but I think I'm liking the first root-skull picture better. Perhaps with muted colors from the 2nd pic...hmmmmm. Almost there. © Martin Corba 2007

Super Sculpey

2007-04-22T08:28:00.000-07:00

Picked up two lovely pounds of super sculpey the other day, but forgot I had left my tools behind in Europe many, many, many years ago. Instead of doing things the old fashioned way and buying a new set of sculpting tools, I instead went into MacGyver mode and fashioned some new ones out of paperclips, chopsticks and a twisty tie from a loaf of bread. Really. A couple minutes and two BB's later. A quicky demon... thingy... guy. Grr! Also had a go at making a Mcbess-ey looking character... and failed.

My brother goes by the name of "soupworm". I have no idea why. When asked if I could come up with a few logo ideas / sketches for him, I said "meh." and promptly made shoo-ing motions with my hands much like the actions of Dr Hubert J. Farnsworth of Futurama fame. But after some alone time with trusty ol' opencanvas I made a few quicky worms after all.
