Family Splatters

My fellow DrawedGooders were talking about having a Steve Urkel theme day, so this idea came to mind. Here's Steve after one-too-many people poked fun at him. Never give a nerd an axe, right?

Kiss the Killer - A Birthday Card

It's that time of year again! My mom's birthday was yesterday, and she had asked me to get her Dexter: Season 5 for her gift. She loves that show. So, I figured I'd draw her a Dexter-themed card. Haha, it was a pretty big hit.

It's Adventure Time!

Threadless is currently having an "Adventure Time" Design Challenge. Here's my entry!
And HERE is my description:

Treasure hunting has always been a popular mode of adventuring, and one at which Jake & Finn are very skilled. It helps that people wearing bright yellow shirts are often known to hide treasure underneath their clothing. Also, shouting is a very important part of adventuring, as shown here.

Here's the direct link to vote for my submission on the Threadless page: Adventure Time

And, if this illustration pleases your eyes, you can reblog my Tumblr post to help spread the word. I'd love you forever. Let me know if you vote and/or reblog it. I'm going to do a THANK YOU illustration afterwards with everyone who lent a hand.

Thanks, everyone!

Bow Ties Are Cool

Here's Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. His psychic paper reinforces what we're all thinking and what he's been saying for the past two seasons. As you can tell, I love Doctor Who. As a matter of fact, I'm about to watch the fifth episodes of Season 6 right now.

This illustration was originally intended as a "Matt Smith practice drawing." I'm planning to do a more art-intensive illustration in the near future. With watercolor and such!

Rickon & Shaggydog

Continuing with my Song of Fire and Ice / Game of Thrones fan art series, here's Rickon Stark and his dire wolf, Shaggydog. One of the first moments where I knew I was going to enjoy this series VERY MUCH was when all the Stark kids were naming their dire wolves, and lil' Rickon named his SHAGGYDOG. Haha, I thought that was superfun. For the most part, the novels are dark, but they do allow bits of comedic respite every now and again. This illustration is, of course, more in line with the comedic respite!

The Mountain

Here's a quick, silly illustration of Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane from George R.R. Martin's novel Game of Thrones, which is about to premiere as an HBO series. Which I'm, of course, very excited for.

The @GameofThrones twitterfeed retreated this illustration, which is INSANELY AWESOME and was one of the nerdiest moments of my life, thus far. It drew some nice comments, but some people were mad at how silly it was. Haha, sorry dudes. There's enough dark illustrations out there already, right?

Twin Mugs

Here are Agents Fox Mulder and Dale Cooper hard at work on a case. Of coffee. Let's hope they don't let it go COLD, amirite? ANYWAY, if you've seen Twin Peaks, you know that Agent Cooper is a huge fan of a nice cup of coffee. I think that in this illustration, he's preparing himself for that initial taste. Mulder is just taking in the whole experience.

I was a big fan of the X-Files back when it ran. That episode where there was that stretchy guy that could crawl through very small spaces stayed with me for a while. As did the one where the astronauts picked up some sort of ghost alien and the dude was staring at his ceiling and it just APPEARED ON THE CEILING AND DROPPED ON HIM. WTF, MAN.

A couple of years ago I went through the first season of Twin Peaks, and it was pretty awesome. The right mix of eccentricity, creepiness and intrigue. I've started the second season, but I'm not very far into it yet. Last weekend, one of my friends requested that I draw Fox Mulder, and then we talked about Twin Peaks. So I suggested that I could draw Fox and Dale together, and that's how we got to where we are today. Looking at two agents drinking coffee. Hahaha.

Very UnOodinary

Ever since Doctor Who came into my life, I've wanted to draw an Ood. So, here he is. Enjoying a drink on vacation. Because you can't serve others unless you serve yourself. OR SOMETHING. I just wanted to draw an Ood, alright? And I couldn't JUST draw one. I had to add a little twist to it. A twist of LIME, perhaps?

Sorry, it's 2am. I should be going to sleep.

Where's the TARDIS when you need it?

Bishop Takes Pawn. And Creamer.

I've recently devoured the first two seasons of Fringe on DVD, and have concluded that Walter Bishop, played by the MAGNIFICENT John Noble, is one of the best characters ever created (and acted).

Good job to you sir. I toast my coffee mug to you.

For those of you not in the know, Walter Bishop was a brilliant (albeit slightly crazy) scientist who, by way of an experiment-gone-wrong, was rendered insane for 17 years. The "Fringe" division of the FBI dug him out to help investigate matters in "fringe science," an area in which Walter was well-versed.

Now, as you'd expect, it takes a little adjusting to go from a mental institution room to the wide, wide world of Boston. So Walter's son, Peter, is also brought in to "keep an eye on him."

It's great. You should be watching it, if you're not!
