Logo Sketch: Biggun

Guess who’s been watching Channel Frederator? Another sketch here, for a logo. We’ll see if he gets his own series in the future.

Sooper Heroe

Ever have one of those days when your doodles take on a secret alter ego of their own? Um, me too.

(Trademark that title, Marvel & DC, I dares ya.)

From the Huntington Gardens

Marcus — Mon, 27 Mar 2006 07:31:58 +0000

Here are a couple of sketches from a recent trip to the Huntington. It’s a nice place to sit and draw, lots of grand architecture, giant rare plants, and plenty of people. Though that last group is always in motion, so they have to be sketched quickly. The statues are easier.

Problems Solved

I got a request from a friend for more posts . . . more, more, MORE! Woe betide, I have been frustrated since late last year in getting work onto this thing, problems from basic computing (lousy 3-year-old hard drives), to access to the internets, to scanning. Oy oy oy.

Nevertheless, I’ve got a backlog to scan and post now, so let’s begin, shall we? Let’s further hope that I don’t screw things up when I upgrade to WordPress 2.01.

I’d love to backdate these from the first of the year December of last year. I’m finishing out the old O’Shea/Greymatter storyline and it would really look good to have finished it before the end of the 12-year mark, but I’m not going to do that. It smacks of revisionism. Well, it is revisionism. There’s enough of that on-line, and I shouldn’t contribute.

This site contains cartoon nudity

I was watching the PBS arts show “EGG” recently and noticed that they blurred women’s nipples and butt cracks in live action and photographs, but not in paintings. It’s inconsistent, however, and occasionally they’ll leave old photos alone, or allow nipples to show through wet cloth. What is wrong with us? How is anyone harmed by simply seeing naked humans? I was baffled by this attitude at seven years old, and I’m still baffled. No child in the history of the world was ever harmed by just seeing a naked person. Let’s grow up.

In a Frantic Stew

Marcus — Sat, 18 Jun 2005 05:32:03 +0000

I realized after I posted the last time that the image I drew, like the one before it, has no context for anyone who’s started reading about O’Shea and Greymatter on-line. I dread doing nothing but scanning comics for the next few days just to get the missing bits up, so I may just go ahead and post the thing and worry about continuity and spoilers later. For now, a sketch.

Corner Sketch

The Moleskine sketch book is working out fine, but I think I’m going to prefer the larger size. This piece was drawn from life in watercolor pencil, then washed in at home a day later.

The scanner is operational again, and there’s a new segment of O’Shea in the pipeline. Gimme a couple of days and we’ll be on the way to the end of a 12-year project.

Scannerless

Just goes to show, a digital camera is no substitute for a scanner. Once I find the box it was packed into, it’s getting plugged in.

One More Femme Around

Marcus — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 07:35:04 +0000

Yeah, I know it’s a rotten pun, but I’m sick and on Benadryl. It tends to make one a little loopy. Anyhoo, here’s a quick eight minute or so sketch, no reference.

Gone Girlie

I don’t have a lot of girls on the site, so here’s a quick one. The upcoming segment of O’Shea has another.
