New lens on Squidoo - Mexico Atomico! (the first of many, I hope)

Duuuuuude! It has been awhile...what with hubbyhood, fatherhood, mortgagehood, and this pesky notion of working 50 hours a week, my creative ego has been repressed for several months (all good things, though).

FWIW - sketching is never a tax on time, and of this I've done plenty; as well as planning, lots of it. So to the extent that I'm excited about these plans, I spent a bit of time on Squidoo last night (www.squidoo.com). If this is interesting to you, check it out: http://www.squidoo.com/m… Continue

Throw-Back Toon Update 2!


Josie and the Pussycats
Long tails and ears for hats
Guitars and Marshall stacks
Hot, sweet, super-cool
Don't you know
These kitties rule?
Hurry, hurry


We've been going
Over the master plan
Driving in a custom-painted van
Practicing for hours
Don't you know that
Soon

I NEED a Swatch Sea Monster!!!

Soooo, a couple of weeks ago at the Orlando Airport I notice a Swatch shop - a Swatch shop!!! Some of you may not remember Swatch, but they began a fashion craze in the mid-eighties with multi-colored, plastic, FUN watches. As a teenager, I collected about 8 of them and would color-coordinate them to my outfits, which back then were either surf or skateboard clothes (Vision Street Wear is making a comeback too ;-)). In any case, sometime in the early nineties I must have gotten rid of my Swat

Oh where, oh where has my Underdog gone?


There's no need to fear, Underdog is here.

When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog.

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fight

Hey Victor just wanted to see how the art was coming? If like me I know you're super busy with kids and work and wife... but let me know. Really excited to see your work. later.

Wow, thanks for that awesome comment! I am glad to hear that there are more and more people rejecting that "distinction" between artists and illustrators. Some of them compare us to "Pop Art" formulaic stuff, whereas "artists" are more "real." What the heck?! I do art for myself too, ya know. I think they're just jealous because THEY don't get as much work as we do. *giggle* ^^

No, I think we'd love to all see how things are progressing! And if you've got an illustration done completely, feel free to upload it to the photos section and add it to the "Toon" book. You don't have to wait till you're completely done with the book to upload your art from it!

YEAH MAN! Ditto Eric can't wait to see what you got in store! Later.
