#83 - Mr. Norm Al


Be very careful of the seemingly honest and trustworthy businessmen. You never know who beneath that fancy Armani suit could really be Mr. Norm Al; good day to you sir! Let's work up a deal!

#82 Tyler "trashin" Tad


Another day on the bus, another ink on the bus with great steadler triplus fineliner pens. Face is almost based off of brother in law, I wonder if he will notice I said that?

-Oh and in other news, today I had my instincts confirmed by yet another reliable source that character sketches will not really get me anywhere in terms of shirt design as they very rarely sell well. Oh well, I am not doing this for any reason other than to get my mind open more and have fun with a new style, I will continue with it anyway. I will never give in to the popular trend of pop-culture tees simply because they sell, I'll keep coming up with fresh new original ideas and whatever happens happens.

#81 - Bernard the blimp bear


I can't say much about this character sketch right now, I feel like I am running out of time everyday and never get the chance to really get done the work I want/need to but I decided to try and stick out the characters until #100...stay tuned to see if it happens.. good thing I have some great staedler fineliner markers that stay working for such a long time;)

#80 - Snack'n Sygfried


It's late, a sketch done to quick and I must admit my sins of using photoshop to add the white highlights. I wasn't about to even attempt it with markers, it's not that smooth of a bus ride. At Any rate, I am debating whether I want to make it to 100 or just take a big break from it and continue on and off.....oh books, why have I forsaken you?
-Next time you think you're on a relaxing drive through the woods of Northern Wisconsin watch out for a gigantic fuzzy elephant that has a taste for vans!!!! "Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside!

#79 - Wallawalabigbang


oo ee oo aah aah Ting tang Wallawalabigbang!
Friday didn't present itself with enough time for me to finish the character, so I decided to make it more detailed than I planned for a Monday post.
I would definitely not want to run into this Witch Doctor and his tribe of giant centipedes.

#78 - AgentGreen


Agent green may be a rodent, but he's such a good spy he can turn diamonds into liquid just by looking at them. For what purpose you ask? to find out you'll just have to follow his exploits someday when he is a major television series.
He was supposed to be names Agent Orange since he is orange, but since he is mixing chemicals it didn't seem appropriate.
Almost to 80 in character sketches, surprised to get one done today. my staedler markers are holding up excellent as always.
and for google: art, paint, design, characters, fun!
