SFC Gallery Updated

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Over the past couple weeks, I guess my gallery has taken sort of a nosedive considering that just recently I was told it was screwed up. Also, I barely give it much attention because I upload most of my artwork to DeviantArt. However, fear no longer that the gallery on SFC is now updated.

If there are any other issues that pop up, please let me know.

You don’t know who Lupo is but enjoy this fanart

I did this piece REALLY fast after coming back home from my moms place. I was only able to find ONE comic of this series, but it was enough for me to remember those comics I would actually get as a gift in the airplane on the way to Germany.

Fix und Foxi is a german comic book series created by Rolf Kauka (whom I doubt at the time I was enjoying the books did the art, but I love the artist who did, very cartoony and reminds me a lot of the Disney comics still being made by some great Italian artists.) The whole book and characters give you that Woody Woodpecker/Disney hybrid style that I love about classic cartoon looks.

As I did this piece real quick and looked at the comic, I thought “Why… why are there no good cartoon characters like this anymore?”

Ugh, if I go into it, I’ll turn into a big rant and rave about cartoons today and I don’t want to do that, instead, enjoy this fan piece of Lupo! I hope to find more stuff about Fix & Foxi and get back that nostalgic feeling again.

Amassed from the Past – 1995

Yep, that’s me and my folks. I found a Disneyland Hotel newsletter that held information about my 3rd place in Clean Air Month Children’s Poster Contest for age 10-13. At around this time I was really into my art, and my parents tried to get me into all sorts of contests like this. They were fun (but the ceremonies were boring, I just remember that…) The actual prize is framed back home with a ribbon on the image.

And yep, that’s Happy Face. You can’t see it too clearly but he’s painting the smog world with “clean air paint”… You know, all that liberal BS and whatever. Now all I do is drink oil and fart smoke like any normal adult should.

Out of mind

Friday, May 14th, 2010

This is just a bit of commentary on myself. I feel like I’m better at creating characters than I am with stories, which is kind of distressing but I can come up with some great scenarios. The problem I think is the fact that I just have so many ideas for characters, that they just knock in my head and I end up getting them out so they’re no longer pestering me in my mind. So getting them on paper, I finally have them out, but it takes away from my moments to tell stories.

This is just a little odd explanation on why I do comics less and character art more often. They just have to come out and on paper.
