HELLO KIDDLES!

Hope all was merry and bright! :)

Robb,
Mr. Pastel!would love to see a Robb Hamel velvet on a mug!
Now THAT would be the shizznazz!
We's in the groove,bruthah! :)

Booben!
:lol:
CHUPACABRA!
we also YouTubed some aliens,ghosts,and Giant skeletons!
Blake would make a perfect Cryptozoologist!

Is it it?
Or, the victim?

the answer is "neither."
that's a Bunyip! :lol:
2x3 brother! :)

well, last page, you saw a funny little gingerbread man
and thought to yourself..
"whaddaheck is that crazed maniac gonna do with that?"
Well....
here's the study...

and here's the "Tiki Gingerbread Man"!
run! run! as fast as you can! :lol:

and here's some details...
ink and gouache on gessoed wood..

Here's a photo of a recent drawing..
I'll post the scan in it's place
after i scan it...
it should look better...

"the Afternoon Boat Trip"
ink and sharpie and colored pencil on Watercolor paper

i think I'm getting closer to that Children's Book style
i've been searching for!

Here's some details for you to peep at!

the low relief look and the glimpse underwater add to
the magical mystery of this one! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

and here's a blast from the past!
i've been neglecting this 4-panel commission for more
months than i can remember!
So it's time to buckle down and get this puppy finished..
Here's the second panel when we last left it in July..

and here it is today....

behind each pair of canvases (can-vi?) there will be
a subtle warrior rowing through the scene..

and here are the first two "Journey' canvases
showing the rower in the background so far..

so anyways..
here's where we are today!
finally got that feathered cape done!
MON-NOT-TOE-KNEE!

here's a detail of the prow and part of the elbow of the background rower...

here's a warclub attached to the boat..

Here's the front of the boat and the "ghost" oar of the background rower..

here's part of the attached oar on the carved boat...
the motif on the background rower's boat and the main figure's boat has been quite a tangled challenge!

Here's our hero's face....

here's that derned cape..

Did a lil bit of work on the foreground spears...

Here's the front of the warrior's boat-you can see a bit where the background rower's boat overlaps..

detail of the warrior's shield..

and also got some of the background island village..

well, i'm off til the 5th!
so i imagine you'll see more progress soon!
Happy New Years!
