Groovy stick: the tale of Lovezard.
August 15th, 2010 by TyIt wants to love you for days. You want to hug it for years.
Am I kawaii?
August 13th, 2010 by TyYou have no idea how challenging it was to draw this self portrait for one half of a battle with Neil. He probably won’t post his half because he’s CHICKEN SHIT. To clarify, I am not at all a fan of anime. This hurt me. Badly.
Drink, draw, chaw.
August 6th, 2010 by TyFrom tonight’s Toronto drink n’ draw: a (non-canon) crabgull and … what I assume is a unicorn of some kind. Shout out to MJ for rad hangouts this day. Rad. You are rad.
I should really get back to painting.
August 4th, 2010 by TyMainland China, circa 1300. Emperor Tangzhu kicks it oldschool, or something. Also, Neil Lalonde and I use the power of illustration friendship to fell the evil of Kazaam. I dunno, I swear real art is happening in the background.
A tubeful of robots (Koala deity: ultra).
July 29th, 2010 by TyBusy busy. Fire damage mentioned two posts prior is now 100% under control, which is great, because now I can focus on the two paintings, book project, second book project, character art, forthcoming web project, and various other artings that need doing. If you’re someone who needs an arting, don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you.
Anyway, here’s a quick Mr. Robotube for the lovable Jason Cirillo. He squealed like the cutest little girl I’ve ever babysat.
Also, of the things I can show you: that koala bat genie? koala is underway. Righteous!
That’s all for now, sucker fools. Stay tuned!
Koala deity: mega.
July 20th, 2010 by TyOh, hey there. Just working on what appears to be a ten-armed koala. Originally based on a friend’s character, this thing eventually ended up crawling out of my sketchbook and being approximately 2×2, not including the surrounding white space. I don’t even know what I’m doing now. On to rendering, I guess! Throw on some Steve Roach and get my goddamn party on.
Click to embiggen. You know, if you’re into that.
Technical difficulties.
July 13th, 2010 by TyThe guns of Zedd.
July 6th, 2010 by TyLike any good blog, this one has begun with sheer neglect on my part. Whatever, only four people are reading.
Anyway, ConBravo! is over, and Vicki and I showed them bitches what’s what. All three of them. About an hour before our panel, we were suddenly informed that most convention-goers prefer their panels shitty and uninformative. Who knew? Oh well, learning experience, right? We’ll make sure not to prepare next time. We actually managed to record it, too, so if and when I edit it down, you may be able to get a sweet earful of me cutting off Vicki every few minutes (sorry, dude).
Robert Axelrod was also there, the voice actor of Lord Zedd from the original Power Rangers. I was asked to do up a Zedd for him (above), which I had months to do, but left it until like four days before the con. I like a challenge, I guess. Like using an iPad at Best Buy in Mandarin. Or trying to make a living as an illustrator. Anyway, I promptly had him sign it. Goddamn, is he ever OLD.
Upon closer inspection, I realize I can’t actually decypher what he wrote at all.
We also caught him checking his Facebook later. Like, a 90-year-old guy checking his Facebook. Amazing.
Still got a bunch of cool stuff in the works; stay tuned for awesome things you can’t even begin to fucking comprehend some neat things.
Break beat phase.
June 22nd, 2010 by TyHey guys. Working on a secret comic project that will fuck your mind inside out, assuming I write it with any degree of clarity. Since illustration is on the lull right now, I’ve decided I should be productive and start a project of my own to keep my awesome up; maybe even slap some fish around at TCAF next year. WHO KNOWS DESE TINGS. Anyway, I guess this is your first look at that project. Behold.
Whugoddabbit! Extraordinarily old people rule. Anyway, more on this as it develops.
Speaking of illustration being on the lull right now, I’ll be opening up commissions soonish. Sorry to all of those who have been interested, I’ve been busy of late. But coming soon: no longer!
Until then, carry on doing that thing that you do. Y’know, being awesome and shit.
Undead.
June 19th, 2010 by TyI’m back from the dead and working on some new stuff. Blogspot is for total chumps, so I jumped ship and grabbed WordPress so I could blog from my actual website. Makes more sense, yeah? Yeah. Anyway, I can’t tell you what I’m working on, but be it known that it involves old people. Rad. More details as they develop.
In the meantime, be sure to drop by Bleepsequence, whose current release, Architextures Rebuilt, features beats smoover than butter and cover artwork by a guy who isn’t not me. It’s free, so don’t hesitate to fill your ears with this hotness!
I’ll actually be updating this on a regular basis, so you’d be wise to, like, RSS this or something. At least bookmark it and make a mental note to visit now and again. Thanks, you’re the most.
Oh, and yeah, sorry about not having a home button for this blog yet. It’s pretty crucial, isn’t it? I’ll have that fixed soon. Bear with me, guys.
