Tis the season

It's happening AGAIN!!!

Alice's College Years

Hey Pals! Randy here. Here's an illustrator piece from this week.  I'm not sure if it's time at the day job, the amount of painting we've been doing, or holding a little girl every night, but my stuff is getting decidedly brighter. 

Not to worry though, I'm still dark and dreary on the inside. 

Pencils.  On copy paper, its how I roll. 

A few sketches more

Just a few more life drawing sketches this week. I do a lot of this so its hard not to post them. I promise something different next week (mu-whooo-hahahah (evil laugh)).

Here is a little snapshot of my work from Ingenuity fest  before Randy and Ben made it more awesome. Enjoy!

Ben: Robot Sketches

Life has been super busy with Art Shows and Home Renovations, but I've been able to do add to the sketchbook on the occasional lunch break.  I've been wanting to animate a robot/villain type character and designed this fella to lumber around my stages.  The trick is to design him with as many reusable body parts as possible.  I'll import the pieces into a skeletal animation program and move the pieces in the same way I did my civilian character.

Happy Bob

Happy happy Monday to you all!  

This is merely part of what we did this weekend at Cleveland's Ingenuity Fest. We will be posting the rest later on in the week.  After being totally rained out on Friday waterloggeing my socks and everything else, lifting and carrying the largest rig we've ever made some 40+ yards, having a large, heavy wooden box fall on my heel, risking sudden death in a potentially electrified pool in a filthy warehouse floor while carrying a metal table full of stuff I'm here to report that I would do it all again in a heartbeat!  To be a part of 2 large parts of Ingenuity Fest this year, to work shoulder to shoulder with people I admire and love, to have the unfettered support of friends, nay, family who came up to see and even help with the show is a rare joy you get in life.  Today I feel very lucky to have all the aches, pains, things to clean and unpack from this weekend's festivities.  

So there, big hugs and thank yous all around!

....and yes, this is Bob Ross as a not so happy cloud.

Squishy

Hey Pals, Randy here. Cleveland is on the verge of being more delicious. I recently made this for my buddy Giovanna and her new marshmallow business.  This pig loves these marshmallows, you would too.

Fubar: Empire of the Rising Dead

Since we're heading to Ingenuity today I figured I'd post up a little something to promote one of my favorite projects I've had the pleasure to work on. Fubar: Empire of the Rising Dead was a dream come true for me. A chance to draw zombies. However once I read writer pal Ron Montgomery's script, I was looking at more than just a brain eating tale of the undead. Ron's story was more about a man fighting with not only the ghosts of his stint in a zombie infested jungle, but also his struggle with the ghosts of his families past. It's only an 8 pager...but it had the heart of an encyclopedia. I'll have copies at our booth at Ingenuity this weekend. So stop by...grab a copy...and say hi.
