I've been working away in my sketchbooks as of late. Here are a few more images for your consideration:
If you look closely, you can find a combination of pop culture references along with blurbs from my college notebooks, and an occasional note to myself - like don't forget to pay the water bill...
Can't wait for actual Spring to arrive...
It's cold and gray outside, so I've been inside working in my sketchbook and waiting for Spring.
My first sketch comes from a Frute Brute cereal box that I was able to snag this past Fall. Frute Brute is part of the 'Monster Cereals' - which include Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute. If you feel your pop culture knowledge is a bit rusty in regards to these cereals, please go check them out here at this LINK. If you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino movies, keep your eyes peeled for a box of Frute Brute that shows up from time to time.
I try to combine my own personal doodles/notes along with images redrawn from pop culture because I feel it is too easy to just create copies/reinterpretations of logos/slogans/mascots. That was done 50 years ago. It needs to have/be something more. Now does that 'something more' need to be my notes, sketches, and old D&D dungeons? That question remains unanswered...
More sketches forthcoming.
A quickie...
Let's take a look at the first two layers of 4 Masks. First and foremost, I'm hoping to come up with a better title, but for now, it's a working title - that's barely working...
Add a wash of white and with a little bit of tweaking, you end up with a Kool-Aid Man and a Mr. Postal Office Postman Dude.
If I showed you more images, this post would lose its 'quickie' status. We don't need to earn that kind of reputation around here...
