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..
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
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.

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