You mean I can't just teleport to work?

This is the second version of LSP I worked on (in as many days), as the first had the black ink all smudged when I colored with the pink highlighter after I inked. This way worked much better, and was actually fun to pull off. I'm tempted to throw a Finn in there somewhere, since I have the right colored highlighters for his cothing/backpack (no purple, hence the pink LSP).

Gah, it's been getting harder and harder to get out of bed these days. I finally got up early enough to ride my van pool this morning, and was able to take a short (much needed) nap. Oh well...back to the daily grind!

Happy hump day, folks!

Stork ain't got nothin' on flower delivery

Jotting down ideas for later...fairy infant born in a flower, acorn cap and leaf swaddler. I've been somewhat (very little) working on illustrating a story a friend wrote for the birth of my daughter. I keep getting images, vignettes, of the pages in my head, so I try my best to either sketch em out, or at least write down the notes. It seems I have less time for myself these days, but then family and work tend to come first.

So Sunday I turned another full year older. I remember thinking 20 years back that I'd never make it to 37, and yet here I am. 10 years ago I still thought I'd never had kids, or be married. And now I'm the father of 2, and have been wedded to my wife for 4 years now. I can only hope that as I grow older I learned to forgive myself more, to let go of past regrets that keep rearing their bitter heads, and be better than who I was the day before.

Magic Hands!

Quick and dirty (<5 min sketch) of Dr. Strange for a fan art Friday thing on a Google+ community I'm in. I actually have another sketch as well that I did first, but I wasn't too happy with it. Not happy with this one either, but I get that I'm learning, and hopefully, improving.

So...Cumberbatch as Strange? Eh. I actually really dug Joaquin Phoenix as the master of the mystic arts, but senior Cumby is a rising star these days. I just hope Marvel chooses the right one for the role, but so far they've been pretty spot on with their casting (film-wise, anyway). Trust the Mou...er, House of Ideas. Truuuuusssssssssst

Traffic parrot is watching you.

I get my inspiration from the strangest of places...this post-it parrot came about from watching someone's left blinker/tail-light winking at me in traffic this morning. Lately I've been looking at everyday objects a bit differently, especially at cars (when you've got a limited view and you're stuck in traffic, well...yeah). Sometimes I sketch the backs of cars, with their funky shaped (and very often, eye-shaped) taillights and rear ends. Amazing how human beings just like to put faces on things...ALL the things.

I can't imagine how we'd react if we actually saw aliens that were humanoid in appearance. Oh, wait. Spiders. (BURN EVERYTHING). Giant Squid. (sucker on this harpoon, beaky!)

On InterGalactic News at Star Rotation 11.5.1.4.12: New Kid on the block, Earth, decimated when they attempted to destroy visiting $#$#$#$# (language unknown) dignitaries.

Yeah, my brain goes to weird places.

I'm having an...identity crisis

Demon...orc. Eh, bit of randomness for #inktober. Horns keep showing up in my brain for some reason (yes, I read the book). Between the film coming out, Angelina Jolie's spectacular rack (the horns, you pervs) in Maleficent...minotaurs for some reason. (wait, what?)

Yeah, my brain does weird associations. But then who's doesn't, amirite?!

Quick sketch of The Question, one of my fave DC heroes (both animated and print). I remember reading the comics back in the 80's and really dug his style and how he wasn't some joe with billions of dollars fighting crime. Though he did get a visit from Bats early on (believe it was within the first 4 issues), who basically said he'd be keeping an eye on him. When you making it on Batman's radar, you know you did something big. Maybe not necessarily good, though.

Don't fall in.

For today's #inktober/post-it note sketch, I present the inside of Felix the Cat's magic bag!

I wonder if Felix became one of the Doctor's companions and brought the bag into the Tardis, would reality implode?

So, sidenote...if I could have a super power, it would be to either create pocket dimensions, or teleport. Or fly. Wait, I'm greedy...ALL THREE. ALL THE POWERS

Magic bag = a whole lotta cheesecake

Bizarro Finn?

After finishing Felix the Cat and his magic bag for today's #inktober2014 sketch, I decided to play with some negative space and added Finn from Adventure Time to the mix. So maybe it's because I'm a mix blooded bastard, but black and white tend to prey/play on my brain a lot. Shadows and light. Sometimes light can be too bright though, and the sun can burn you badly. Darkness is cool and soothing, full of possibility, deep and unending.

Even soccer balls need hugs

Red panda for #inktober . Couple of days behind at this point, so I won't bother numbering. :)

Seriously though, these red-headed stepchilds are freakin' adorable! If I had to come back as an animal, I would totally not pick them. Lion. Definitely a Lion. Sleep all day, go kill some shit maybe...yeah.

In magical forest mushrooms eat YOU

For those Yakov Smirnoff fans out there (there's gotta be some left, right??)

Some ideas I'm working on for the fairy princess story a friend wrote for me. It's gotta be a magic forest, but that doesn't mean everything is nice and friendly. Need to design some funky trees. Everyone loves funky trees. Maybe pink and purple grass? Too much? Oh well...

Hulk SBD's have been mistaken for chemical weapon attacks

Day 8 for #inktober. Gotta figure with all the straining/flexing the Hulk does, something's gotta slip out every now and then...

There are too many...quick, under the covers!!

When you just can't shake that case of the Mondays.

Black Panther sketch on post-it note using this image as a ref. Apparently a dude named Kasper Cole took over the role briefly before pushing on to become the new White Tiger (or another one, hard to keep up).

Grumpy vs pinky: FIGHT!

A bit of inspiration from one of my daughter's bibs. Funny how you get the urge to sketch from the most random of objects/moments.

SUGAR!

Straws: Sugar Needles?

A while back I gave up soda/sugar for a week, only to "accidentally" order a Coke with my lunch. Luckily I remembered right before receiving said drink (I asked for a water instead from the bemused cashier). So close...

It was actually kind of nice taking a break from the sweets. There was even a period after where I wasn't craving sugary delights as much. But then baked goods kept appearing at work. Resolve...weakening...sugary cravings...returning...

Ground Brains (the other gray meat)

There'll be nothing left for the zombies...

When the week just feels like it's dragging...oh, wait. It's only Tuesday. Grind on!

 

Is it sad that every time I see this image now I think of Magic: The Gathering? My cards are currently gathering dust...

Doctor Domo!

The last Destruction Lord

So I'm a bit of a fan of Domo, and while not quite a Whovian, I dig the dude in the blue call box. Time and space travel? Hells yeah!! Or I'll take good old teleporting any day of the week...

So, uh...welcome to Post-It Nuts, where I'll post some of my post-it note art. Just be forewarned, I'll probably be playing with the look of the blog for a while. Any (friendly) suggestions are welcome!

Time to EX-ERRRRR-SIIIIIIZE DA DEMONS!
