I Painted a Couple of Caricatures in Photoshop.

Whole Latte Drawin' Goin' On

It's been a little slow at the office lately, and I could feel the art muscles start to atrophe. To limber up, I've been spending a little extra time sketching at cafes around town. Here's a sampling of some of the sketches:

Dubyamation

Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic opens today. In honor of that, the film held a mashup contest in conjunction with YouTube, using clips supplied on the site (http://www.youtube.com/user/wthefilm). The prize package includes a Mac Pro, a video camera and a copy of FinalCut Express. I wanted to do something with animation, but unfortunately between doing my taxes and some freelance work, I was left with a little more than two days to put something together. Anyways, here's my entry, wish I could have done more, but I think it came out okay all things considered.

Hopeful Manifestations

You've really only got two choices in November. Vote for the guy who has voted along with Bush more than 95% of the time. Or vote for something new. Shepard Fairey and MoveOn.org are sponsoring an art contest called Manifest Hope (at http://www.manifesthope.com). The idea is to create an image that encapsulates the themes of Barack Obama's campaign for President. I submitted four entries. I had an idea for a fifth, unsubmitted, that gave words of encouragement to McCain supporters.

Monkey See, Monkey 'Do

Que, Zira, Zira...

'Po Poe, Pitiful Me

Just doing a little doodling. I figured I'd scan and post this one before I spill coffee on it--like I usually do with my sketches.
