GF

One baked night at Six Point Harness, I couldn't help but draw this weird, twisted, mary jane induced picture of Animation General, Greg Franklin...not to mention some weird fairy thing that I have no idea idea whatsoever why and where that came from. It's actually my second Greg drawing...the first is here.

But, forget drawing, I was getting a paint jones at the time and happen to have a canvas laying around...so with a firm grasp of my loins and paintbrushes (each is an extension of the other, btw :), I dove in and did this:

Acrylic on Canvas 24 x 36 (?). April or May '07 sometime around there, maybe? Painted in a day. sorry for the crappy photo...glair and all.

Anywho, this is the piece that inspired the DANNER piece a couple of posts ago. I actually was going to do a whole series called "CO-WORKERS" and have a gallery showing at the studio. The other thumbs and drawings are baking...but, that damn forsaken thing called drawing for wages always seems to get in the way of drawing and painting for ME.

If anybody wants to see process pics...lemmeknow and I'll post.

7 minute poses drawn directly with Faber-Castell Brush Pen on animation paper.

I'm really trying to get geared up again for some painting. It's crazy but, for me, direct brush pen drawing actually helps.

GET OUTTA MY HOLE!!

The ostrich is my conscience and the giraffe is me physically.
All the support that everybody showed on that lil "fiasco" was inspiring. Thanks a million times over.
Someday I'll drop a nice big stanky turd on this blog to keep it funky, but, for this'll have to do for now.

oh, here's an interview by T.A.N. concerning what else but "READ A BOOK" featuring myself, Brendan Burch of Six Point Harness and Bomain "D-Mite" Armah did for KING magazine online.
