It's Funny Fishy Friday! This is another very old sketch from way back. This reminds me, there was a time when frozen fish sticks were a staple in my diet. Those days are long gone now. No more frozen Burritos either. But I do pop in a frozen DiGiorno pizza once in a while....ummmm good!

It's a secret agent kind of guy. I think he can listen in on other people's conversations with his special iPod. It is special because it has that little antenna, see? There are little marks coming from the antenna that indicate he is listening to classified government secrets... or MIchael Buble...

Here is a very old sketch from the bottom of a pile. I think the final version of this probably appeared as an Illustration Friday post. I was hoping meat loafers would catch on. If you get hungry you can eat a shoe... and later have the other one for lunch. But then you have to walk home barefoot. Oh, well.... back to the drawing board...

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush"

I had to illustrate a few proverbs and wise sayings recently. While I was sketching on this one, I thought of this twist on the saying. It has probably been done before... by someone else... but I thought of it all by myself. So there. The sketch was such a mess that I decided to clean it up a bit and add some color. This could be our whole problem... too many birds in the Bush.

Another day... another doodle. Do all bakers wear checked pants?

doodle 6

What's black and white and red all over? This is a pencil sketch on tracing paper. After it was scanned, I did a little Colorize trick with Photoshop... just to make it a bit more snazzy. Have a snazzy weekend!

doodle 5

It's old Nebuchadnezzer or Neb as his buddies call him. And he seems upset at something doesn't he? Must be cuz I put a silly hat on him.

doodle 4

A pig doing Karate... nothing unusual about that! I think this was done for a joke whos punchline was... "pork chop"

It's Monday... and we continue on our quest to post a doodle a day. Here is Mr. Laptop... man of the year.

I draw a lot of kids. Here is a very loose girl... er make that a loose SKETCH of a girl... who is 2 heads tall. I like the way figures look when they are 2 heads tall. This was drawn with a Col-Erase Carmine Red pencil.

Doodle two sounds like toodle loo...

I'm not one of those people who can draw something the first time. I'm more the one who draws something the fiftieth time. Which means a lot of doodles happen between my initial sketch and what I am eventually satisfied with. And more often than not, I like the loose doodles more than the finished piece.

For example... I went to Google Images and found pictures of the Fantasy Island guys. (see post under this one) After many attempts, I wasn't really getting anywhere with my idea of doing a funny drawing of the characters. I went on to other things. I did some more drawings from the photos later. Still nothing. Then, while I was working on something else, I picked up a Micron pen and down in the extreme corner of my page dashed off this little doodle. I liked it! It resembled the guys but in the cartoony way that I was after. Everything perking in my noggin, came together and flowed out my pen. This doodle became the basis for my Fantasy Island drawing.

So here is what I am thinking. I have lots of random little doodles laying around, and lots of Blogger space to fill. I think I will start posting doodles between the other things here. Let me know what you think of them. Now you have a reason to come back and see what's NEW here!

Enjoy, as they say... :0)
