For Illustration Friday's Cake theme.
"Let them eat cake", she said, "just like Marie Antoinette".
Unfortunately, it's believed that she never actually uttered these words, but she's famous for it anyway. Sacre bleu!!! Don't lose your head, especially when it's stuffed with cake.

And in keeping with the theme, here's Red. Poor ol' Wolfie won't know what hit him.

So, a post at last. I may be a bit slow to get to comments and posting these days, so hang on. In the meantime, I think I'll start reinventing the fairytails. This is Goldilocks.

Thank you all so much for the comments from the last post. I really appreciate the good feelings sent over the net. What a great online community. I'm always amazed with the support and good will of my fellow artists. Someday I hope to meet you all, so for the moment, please know of my sincere thanks.
Well, obviously, I've got my hands full right now, so my posts will probably be a little sporadic for the next little while, but I will post when I can. Check below the image for The Nicktoons Film Festival info.
Almost tired enough to see spots, but thankfully I see other things too.....

So, after I finally got to read my email, out of the blue, I found an email about the Nicktoons Film Festival. Long live shorts and anyone who promotes them. Check out the sites. They themselves are pretty groovy. I'm just passing on the info. Here's the note from the email.....

Last Monday we welcomed a baby boy to our family. Words can't even describe how great it is.

I'm very happy to see Dave Pimentel blogging. Not only is he one of the story heads, but he also teaches our gesture drawing class at Dreamworks, and boy is he good. Walt Stanchfield was his teacher and now we are lucky enough to have him pass on the knoweledge to us. Very, very lucky. So go look and give him some love. His drawings are amazing, poses beautiful, and I'm really glad he's sharing his work now to all.
Ok, enough arse'n around with the random sketches and half thoughts. Have a finished illustration for a change.

Here are todays random ruffs. There's always a good feeling using a china marker.
Happy Friday.

Today I am a happy man. My counter passed 20,000 hits and 32,670 page loads today. Thank you all for your support and kind words. I have made many friends whom I would never have known otherwise. It is really amazing to me, because my artwork would just have been sitting on the shelf all lonesome and everything. I continue to be inspired by all your great works. Boy, I wish this was around when I was a kid.
Now, to continue with what has become a "ruff" week, here are a couple of tonights ruff sketches. All the finished images of this kind were previously done straight into illustrator without any ruff sketches or doodles. I thought I'd do a couple of quick ruffs with an old worn out pen on good old paper for a change. I suppose this would be what my ruff animation drawings would look like if I was still doing 2D while blocking out a scene. Maybe I'll do an illustrator version of these next week.

Here's a random sketch from my sketch pad. I have sketch books, but most of the time I just use photocopy paper on one of those clip boards. I don't feel restricted using it as I can just discard anything I don't want, and picking up a block of copy paper has a more open feeling to it. Long gone are the days when a blank sheet of paper was the enemy. Just get loads of blank paper and let rip.
This sketch came out of seeing the same model in different ads that seemed to have eyes wider apart than the norm. I've done a few of this type of pose/theme. Maybe it will be this weeks theme. Oh yeah, I still use pencils, pens and a fave at the moment, the china marker. I've been enjoying taming illustrator, but you gotta love the feeling of real materials.
