Schieles Madman

Egon Schiele was big into the displaces body parts. Of course he was dealing with the displacement of human body parts. Never the less I feel thats what I must have been thinking of as a lay in bed drawing this.
It's strange and unusual and I have no earthly idea what my brain must have been trying to tell me.
But its fun trying to figure it all out!
Elephant heads on stalks! Whatta blast!

Very Odd

Yes, Very Odd indeed. Another in a string of stream of consciousness style drawings I've done over the last week or so. I lay down a few lines and then just start to draw whatever pops into my mind.
Someone asked me what I was feeling when I drew this. I had no real answer for him. Though I had to admit that since I am graduating with my BFA in the next couple of days I would be hard pressed to deny that didnt manipulate my subconsciousness somehow...
Additionally I can admit to being influenced by Nick the Artistic Freaks drawings lately on Deviant Art. See my After the Artist Freak post for links.

Heart Condition

Ive been drawing some rather odd things lately.
I'm hesitant to call them surreal, but they sure are odd.
They have been drawn in an almost stream of consciousness style. With no real meaning to them at the outset they become manifestations of where my brain may be taking me at the time...

While I'm at it...

I figure while I'm at it (posting drawings of Spidey villains that is) I may as well upload a drawing of Spidey himself.
This one is from late '07. I hadn't really drawn him in a while, and just wanted to do something fun.
When I was a little kid the first time someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I said Spider-Man. When they told me that I really couldnt be Spider-Man when I grew up I just figured that was because the job would already be filled.
In retrospect, if I give it some more work I suppose I could be Spider-Man, after a fashion...

Dr. Connors I Presume

Dr. Curt Connors, a.k.a. The Lizard was a staple Marvel villain for Spider-man way back in the day.
He rarely if ever appears anymore and I think thats a cryin shame - hes such a cool monster and I think he holds up as a fairly versatile character...
Additionally I think he's just damn fun to draw.

This one was drawn in a 5 x 8 sketchbook. I felt it came out pretty well so I added the background to reinforce his ties to Spider-man and to balance out the composition a little better.
Being that I'm a week away from graduation at Long Beach State I get the feeling I'll be posting a lot more items here that were done for no reason other than that they were fun.

After the Artist Freak

This drawing is after a member of deviant art who goes by the name NicktheArtisticFreak. His profile can be found here: Nicks Deviant Profile.
The particular work in question can be found at this link: Bang.
His image just struck me as so whimsical and fun. I was sitting in the print lab one day last week killing some time and thought of his drawing. So I got out my little sketch book and drew this. I liked the way it turned out so I inked it and added a little color...
He asks for you to find your own meaning - and I concur. But dont look to hard or you may just miss the point...
