First Political Cartoon

I had to make a cartoon for the school newspaper based on the editorial article about California taxing oil companies and giving that money to the schools. I don't know if this cartoon makes sense but I really just wanted an excuse to draw sticky dinosaurs and children stealing its baked potato.

Dragon Heads

Me messing with some clay and paint. Maybe I can make some tiny mounted heads or something.

I will update in the morning with better photos.

A gift from Maggie


        Today I got my package from my friend Voodoo Maggie in Oregon. Boy was I looking forward to this. She wanted me to take photos of the package opening process because of how proud she was of it. Little did I know just how insane it was...


So it starts out nice with another one of the prizes that she sent me. A cute crocheted pumpkin simply wrapped in one sheet of tissue paper. But then what is this?


A box wrapped in Michaels coupons. That doesn't seem too bad for packaging things...

Stickers. And duct tape. 


Who packages things in duct tape?!
 

Lucky for me the tape started ripping in a neat line after a while so I could skip unwrapping all of it. It seemed to be one continuous piece.


Under the box was a small glitter covered dinosaur.


More tissue and tape. This time just normal packing tape. Which might actually be worse.


Just showing how much tape was on this thing.


Another layer of packaging.
 

Why would there be a yarn ball? I don't use yarn. But I know what to do with this. I gave the ball to my dog and let her do what she loves to do. 


 Ten minutes later and the yarn was out of my way.


I think Maggie just wanted to get rid of some of her junk she didn't want anymore.

This wad also had a small mushroom in it. Which is pretty cool.
Too much tissue paper. 

Okay?


At this point I am wondering if there is even anything in here at all...

After all of this, I got a teeny tiny yeti toy.  Here is a picture just to show how much packaging went into getting this thing to me.

And finally here is a close up of the yeti. Was it worth it? 

You can find Maggie's shop on etsy here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/voodoomaggie
I promise that she usually does not use this much tape.

Comic is taking too long. So here's some doodles.

I have too much fun making stupid expressions in comics sometimes and a conversation that should have taken 5 panels all of a sudden turns into 25. Oh well. I have to post something!

Also here's another in progess picture. SHARK!

Irrational Fears From Childhood

Hey look'it that, I made an actual full comic thingy. It's pretty small because I want to try to make them newspaper sized so I can throw them into the school paper when we are tight on content. Though maybe not seeing as how graphic this can kinda be.... Any constructive criticism is welcome.

Doodles

I'm still catching up on things since school is starting soon. For now here are some scraps of stuff that I did.



By the way have any of you seen the music video that the second doodles are based off of? Crazy stuff. Though I think the lyrics are a little lame. It is a song about clapping to feel better.

See you around!

Vacation

Look at my red wall! So yes, I was on vacation for a little while. Making a terribly low amount of art things.
I was able to do a few pieces of ceramic pottery. The clay was fun to work with but some of the glazes didn't turn out how I thought they would. The blue monster was supposed to be shiny. Oh well.

I also did a few little monster things like these, which wasn't really the best idea. Ceramics is different from sculpey and isn't made for small stuff like this. So they broke a little. I will make some sculpey versions later.

Fallen off the Radar

Wow the Blog has gotten a bit of dust layered on it. Yep I'm not gone for good. I was just on a bit of vacation and couldn't manage the blog for a while. I had nothing to update it with anyways. I will start posting normally again soon.
