ELECTRICITY

The secret to SocMo's most mystifying trick is... ELECTRICITY.

Biker Bunnies

A few weeks ago I completed another set of images for the Alamofire guys. These will be up for grabs in their Pack Rat game on Facebook. They could be there now... who knows? The Biker Bunnies were much harder than the Bees were to illustrate. I did a Biker Bar, some long neck carrot juice bottles, a tattoo, and some other stuff... 15 things in all. Of course, the Bunnies were my favorite. I find that I like to draw anything that has eyeballs more than objects. Again, the tough part was designing something that is to be seen at 64x64 pixels. That's small. I have put up larger images here so you won't strain your eyes looking at them. I'm always considerate of you guys. I wouldn't want my 6 visitors to go blind on me....

deep dark dungeon dude... dang!

Question: How often do you get asked to draw a lawyer hanging upside down in a dungeon in a bigfoot comic strip style?

Answer: About once in your career.

I have been very busy lately doing sketches for a little teaching book. I was contacted by a local designer (who is an old friend) to do this B&W illo for him. I don't really have the extra time for another project. What to do? Well, you squeeze it in somehow. Actually, this was pretty painless. I dashed out a sketch, e-mailed it, heard back that the client liked it, and did the finish. I wish eveything was this easy. Unfortunately, a job like this is very rare. Usually there is much agony and gnashing of teeth on my part. I end up feeling like I would rather trade places with the guy in the dungeon than do the job... but not this time! Nope... this time it was a cakewalk... woo hooooo....

Sink o' de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody! :0)

PRIMITIVE

Recently, some new cave drawings were discovered in Lascaux, France. A PRIMITIVE Neanderthal sock monkey appears to be hunting prehistoric, freerange donuts. This is the earliest record of the existence of a sock monkey ever discovered. A nearby cave was found to be the ancient burial ground of the rare Jurassic Donut. Paleontologists are thrilled by their discoveries.

Game Time!

Here are a few of the little icons I made for Alamofire. They have a game on FACEBOOK called PackRat. It was fun to design the little icons. They appear about half this size in the game. I had to keep them as simple as I could so they would read OK at the small sizes. The game is played by finding and collecting icons that are in a set. One way to get the icons is to steal them from your friends... who then aren't your friends anymore,right? Anyhoo, looks like a lot of fun. Worth signing up on FACEBOOK just to play!

HOMAGE

SocMo likes to start off each day with a big bowl of HOMAGE!

OK... SocMo is a few fries short of a Happy Meal, isn't he? This idea popped into my head and I just went for it. Does it make any sense? Don't know. But I am back at Illustration Friday after a couple of weeks of missing out on the fun. Thanks for stopping by and looking :0)
