Heeby Jeeby Comix!

Hey everyone, Bob Flynn, David DeGrand and myself have started up a goofy blog that features fun and bizarre all-ages comics! It's called Heeby Jeeby Comix, so check it out!

Here's some process work from my one-pager, "Sick or Treat."




For the final colored version as well as Bob and David's hilarious comics, be sure to check out HEEBY JEEBY COMIX!

Happy Halloween!

Covered!

Not too long ago I did a remake of an old comic book cover for Robert Goodin's blog, Covered. It's a really neat blog where each day there is a new post showing a contemporary artist re-drawing an old comic book cover. The object is not really to parody or completely change the old cover but rather pay homage to it. Kinda neat!

I did this remake of the obscure 1966 Gold Key comic, "Milton the Monster" by an unknown artist:



Robert and I were both pretty stumped on the creators of the comic, story, etc. I do not own my own copy but does anyone have more information on "Milton the Monster?"

Thanks for letting me participate Robert!

No Matter Which Way You Slice It... Cartoon Violence Is and Always Will Be Funny.

I actually did this over the Summer but I figure now with Halloween closely approaching, it's more than appropriate to post now. ;) What is everyone going to be for Halloween?

Well... Do ya?

Long live Green Brain Comics!

Smack/Reed Gunther Pin-up!

My good buddy Sean Mack (better known as Smack) and I decided it was darn falooten time we traded us some pin-ups! Smack is the cartoonist behind the web comics, "The Smack Chronicles" and the newer "Revolutionary Times."

Smack's one awesome guy and got Shane and me his Reed Gunther pin-up about 3 days after we first talked about the idea of trading pin-ups. Jeesh, he's fast! It's an awesome pin-up and totally hilarious. You rock Sean! His pin-up will definitely be in the back of Reed Gunther issue 3...



And here's the pin-up I did of Smack's "The Smack Chronicles." I tried to incorporate a lot of the characters from the strip along with Smack's love for Pepsi and cleavage. Hope you like it Sean!

Here's the inks:

And the final Colored version:

Thanks Everyone!

I just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone for all the nice comments and messages I've received about the 100 drawings project! It's much appreciated!

Also, I've updated a bunch more of these drawings on Etsy here.

Thanks again guys and gals!

Finished!

So, last week my buddy, Bob Flynn turned me onto a crazy drawing exercise he was "lucky" enough to do in college: The 100 figures assignment. You can read all about the actual assignment from the man who I believe created this crazy project, DB Dowd, here. Bob Flynn also did a GREAT retelling of his own experience here.

I was really intrigued by the idea of doing so many different illustrations in such a short amount of time. I'm always up for a fun challenge and it just so happened that from this past Sunday to Tuesday, I had the opportunity to clear my schedule and do absolutely nothing else but sit and draw.

Now to be fair to everyone that has done the actual assignment, I had a full week to prepare my schedule and as goofy as it sounds, mentally prepare for this thing. A big part of the 100 figures assignment is that it's supposed to be thrown at you but sadly, that was something I couldn't do to myself, obviously. So to try and make it somewhat fair I gave myself 48 hours instead of the approximate 68 hours the assignment usually allows for.

Needless to say I had a lot of fun with this! It was challenging at times but overall, it was incredibly invigorating while being somewhat mentally exhausting. I'd highly recommend doing it!

Today, I scanned all 100 drawings in (something that I swear took an additional 48 hours... ;) Thanks to Kassandra for the help!) and put them together in a pdf to view. Feel free to download it here!



Also, I'm starting to post many of the 100 drawings on my new Etsy store for $20 a pop! Check that out here!





Ok, that's enough links to click on. I leave you with this.

100 Illustrations in 48 Hours!

Hey guys and gals!

So my buddy, Bob Flynn recently blogged about a college assignment he did where he had a weekend to create 100 11"x 14" illustrations with at least one figure per illustration. What a task!

I really wanted to try this out myself because of how much I thought I'd learn doing so many pieces in such a short amount of time. I'm always up for a good drawing challenge, so I told Bob I'd try his old college assignment. I'm in a little different position because the assignment hasn't been thrown on me like it was Bob and his classmates at the time. I've been lucky enough to basically clear my schedule for 48 hours.

I started yesterday (Sunday) at 4:00 PM and will finish Tuesday at 4:00 PM. I only finished 20 last night so I'm hoping to do 60 today and 20 tomorrow by 4:00. HA!

I've been "tweeting" (I always try to say that with my pinky in the air) throughout the event a bit. If you're curious, feel free to follow me @choughtonart I'll also be sending some cell phone photos of drawings onto my blog throughout today.

Wish me luck! It'll be a long one!
