Lil' Ol' Puglady

The theme of this night's Drink & Draw was "Cute Puppy Stickers." Someone had brought over a sticker set that contained only adorable dogs, so everyone took one and drew a picture around it. Here is my contribution, complete with zany story!

Help Japan

Dirty Coast asked me to design a poster to help raise money for the Japanese relief effort. I'm to be one of several artists designing posters to be sold to raise funds to donate. This is the concept I pursued. On the first version, I had the word "NOW" in white in the dot. It brought a little more balance, but it took away from the "Japanese flag" reference. I think I prefer this version.

I hope I'm able to help the effort somewhat with this design. It's nice to do something that actually has an effect on something other than just making people laugh a little, right?

Burt & Emmy's Muppet Adventures

This mini-comic is loosely based on true dream-events, as revealed by the wonderfully entertaining Emmy Cicierega. I couldn't pass up a PRIME #GrintFace joke opportunity.

For those of you left scratching your head: It's fun to use Rupert Grint's face as a punchline.

Butterbeeron

My "Ron Weasley Sucks" kick continues. Seriously, where would Harry Potter and Hermione BE without this guy? IN LOVE, THAT'S WHERE. Harry & Hermione 4evs.

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!

Some Thing Wicked

The Thing is one of my favorite movies, so I figured that it was time to do some fan art. So, here's Kurt Russell happening upon some Thing in the dark!

With the exception of that first cheesy UFO clip, the movie is a mixture of tension, psychological horror and special effects. And that blood testing scene? UNFORGETTABLE. Good job, J-Carp. Good job.

Tyrion

Here's a silly, quick illustration of Tyrion Lannister, from George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice novels. The first in the series, Game of Thrones, is about to premiere as an HBO show! So a couple of friends and myself are doing some fan art to celebrate it.

I can't remember if it was ever mentioned that Tyrion loved wine, but he REALLY loves wine in this illustration.

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?

DoodlePugs

This afternoon I randomly decided that I'd draw a set of pugs. But not your ORDINARY pugs, heavens no. I put out a request for suggestions on Twitter and added a bunch of my own. Here are the fruits of my pug labor. Enjoy! Feel free to make your own Doodle Pugs, hahaha.

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.
