(Trollkrampus)

Tomorrow I will be posting this on my Krampus blog, but today YOU get to see it first.

It is getting close to that magical time of year, gentlefolk. A special day. A singular, special day where the Earth's axis is tilted just a bit, but by tilting has caused the birth of our lord and savior, Gary Sandy.

Enjoy yourself and be good on yourself. If you know what I'm sayin'! POW!

Tomorrow night I am dressing up as Walter White for a Halloween party. I'm basically wearing business casual with a gasmask. I'm also attending the same party as Golden Age Sandman in plainclothes. I know. Lame.

This is a reminder that I am slowly adding more pieces of my comic-style art for you to hang on your walls or send as a gift to the person you hate. You can get there by pointing your browser pointer-thingy to the following othercolored word: LINK

If you do not buy anything, please feel free to ❤ something that strikes your fancy. It's nice to know that someone is hearting something I made. I would prefer you buy, though. And if you are interested in commissioning me, I am open for that, as well.

Thanks!

I haven't posted lately because I am busy working on a webcomic and a logo gig as well as being a homeowner and playing important video games and watching Breaking Bad and eating/drinking (HAPPY NO COMMA DAY!). 

(side bar: Hey, Devitt! Remember these guys?!)

Stay tuned…

Ladylens_3d

My most recent commission is now in possession of the client who commissioned it. I had a great time creating this one. 

The commissioner of this original, one-of-a-kind birthday gift e-mailed me the targets photo and details such as: 
"hates having her photo taken" 
"loves music, Ramones, Bassnector, Pretty Lights…" 
"favorite dive bar is the hairy monk…"
BUT, the one detail that resonated with me while designing this piece was this:
"…loves horror movies - mainly foreign horror movies that are more thriller versus the Saw movies (which she hates)."

I can relate very much with that last request. I had just re-watched Roman Polanski's Repulsion and I kept on imagining hands and cameras reaching out to get her.
Repulsion_hallway_hands_01
I wanted to create a creepiness, but, unlike Catherine Deneuve, I wanted to make the protagonist seem in control. Almost inquisitively rebellious. I hope this is understood, but especially by the birthday girl.

If you're interested in your very own custom canvas commission please feel free to drop me a line. I'm pretty good at scheduling them in to my regularly scheduled workload. Plus, they're hella fun to make. Like cooking rabbit!!

Enchantress_executioner

I wish they'd design The Enchantress creepy looking instead of a supermodel. Her powers cause people to be lured into her creepy grasp. RIGHT? Someone write an adventure tale called Lust For Death starring Amora and Skurge and I will return to buying single issue comics again (hell, I'll pencil it if you pay me). Unless it's already been produced wherein I will not return to comics.

Remember, I loved you once.

I was not was cleaning my office when I sketched this hairy version of the beloved behemoth. 

Question: Did anyone really listen to Was (Not Was)? 

I didn't think so.

Ladylens_sample

Here is a small sample of what I'm working on for my current commission. It's a pulp-style poster in pure Dawlism fashion (I haven't figured out what that means, yet). The colors will likely change, but you get the idea. I was inspired by Polanski's Repulsion and the perfect description from the client: "loves horror movies - mainly foreign horror movies that are more thriller versus the Saw movies which she hates."

I agree with her.

I hope to display the design here once it is completed.

Here is another sketch I found within a folder of a job I was working on back in 2003. The job was for a prep school in Manhattan and the project was to design a mascot for the middle school athletic department. I will be posting about that next and showing some of the sketches that lead up to a "cute wolverine".

In the meantime, please enjoy this sketch of the baddest asses ever penciled on to paper (what is up with that bulbous feathered freak?).

I have no idea why I drew this. I'm cleaning my office and rearranging the furniture and this is what I found in one of my old illustration folders. I'm totally perplexed.

As I go through my office I think I will post more FOUND ILLOS.

Bldawley_marvelpromo2011

Here is the second part of my self promotion piece (first part HERE). This time using Marvel Comics characters (Captain Marvel, Thor, Iron Man, Hawkeye). I realize that Monica Rambeau is Photon, but she'll always be my favorite Captain Marvel from the '80s. So, deal with it.

I wish I was able to get this posted sooner. I have a 30 hour per week job that keeps me from creating as much as I used to. Hopefully, I can get into a groove again with these, because I would like to make more themed versions like this. Although, expand out of comics and maybe something from classic books or television. Stay tuned.

Hongkongphooey1

I'm continuing my series of cartoon/comics redesigns with one of my favorite childhood Saturday morning cartoons. Hong Kong Phooey falls into the long list of Hanna-Barbera's haphazard heroes (Captain Caveman, Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Jabberjaw, Magilla Gorilla, etc.). I adored most of these ridiculous characters because they taught me not to take this genre TOO seriously. This caused me to make many characters of my own who had paranormal abilities or talents that were more of an obstacle than an attribute (ex. The Brass Lantern: previously developed with A.G. Devitt about a guy who shines light on crime… with his eyes). Someday you will see some examples on this blog you are reading. Someday.

Until then, please enjoy the stuff that inspired me as I bastardize their image. Thanks.

Thor

Here's a sneak peak at the Marvel version of my previous post. I thought I'd throw The Mighty Thor up here since the live-action interpretation of the Marvel Comic's character is premiering in cinemas soon. If you're interested in checking out some God of Thunder, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't check out Walter Simonson's version of this Asgardian hippie. That's some top-notch comics right there.
