Life Without Taffy

Some random sketches and scribbles:

A collaborative effort between me and my girlfriend on the kids menu waiting for food at the Olive Garden. Some renditions of the kids menu mascots: (left to right) Bene Breadstick (me), Ollie the Olive (me), Ricky Ravioli (kt) and Gina Grape (kt). kt also added the ninja turtles under the word find.

The theme for this week’s Illustration Friday is Stitch. Any time I can draw some sort of zombie creature, I’m in. Technically this was two zombie creatures that some mad scientist type guy stitched together. I drew it in two different parts with my trusty Rapidograph pen and splashed some watercolors on them. I went into my girlfriend’s sewing kit and sewed them together, the threadwork is shoddy at best as I haven’t sewn anything since the required Home Ec class in 7th grade. I slapped it on some construction paper and there he is.

Hey. Merry Christmas everybody! I originally drew this for Stickynote Theatre (which you should definitely check out), but I figured it’s Christmas and all, here it is as well.

I have several bins/buckets/tins/cups of writing utensils all over the damn house. Every now and then I go through them to see what ones work and which don’t to make room for more pens and crap that I’ll throw out in a year. I made this drawing using all the pens/pencils/crayons/markers in one such box. I like him. He means business. I’ve done this a couple times before: Check out Lampreybot and Trouser Bacon.

Some recent sketches I’ve done at work, monster-type things I figured would be appropriate for today:
