This weeks Illustration Friday drawing. Tattoo. Yeps. The tattoo on the fellow’s belly says Otaku. If you are unfamiliar with the terminology check out the Wikipedia entry on it. It’s more or less a nerd way into Japanese anime, manga and the like. With the exception of the glasses, this kinda looks like me in high school. Purely unintentional. Kinda funny though. That is my DS in his hands. And I do like Pocky. Crap. I enjoy anime. The more adult, tentacle-free variety. The Pikachu and the furry ears and tail are to be funny, I’m into neither.
Here’s some of my initial sketches for those interested:

I don’t know how the original idea of a parody of Tupac’s Thug Life tattoo, Nerd Life, turned into otaku. Hmm.

Update!
Dan Gillotte posted a comment that he’d like to give this Mysterio thing a shot and he posted a great pic over at the John Byrne forum. (Scroll down about half-way down) Thanks Dan.
If anybody else does a Mysterio, give me a holler, through the comments or by e-mail and I’ll link you up. Thanks.

Jeez. i don’t know what it is with me and ants lately.
Hey gang. Another installment of Mysterio Monday. I got a little experimental this week with the two I’ve made.

This one I drew with my non-dominant left hand. It’s not very good.

This sticker I slapped on the back of a sign a week or so a go and it’s still there so’s I took a photo.

Ah, yes. Insect. This week’s Illustration Friday topic. I figured I got silly last week so I went a little more realistic on this one. It turned out okay. A lot of really great ones this week.
