Bah Humbug - Nasty Little Grinch

A real quickie for this months posting! I decided to include a little nursery rhyme I made up too :)

'This little Grinch isn't nice or cute.
He carries a big knife in his boot.

So little kiddies hand over the
pressies that Santa brought ya.
Cause this little Grinch ain't foolin'...
He really will cut ya!

Bah Humbug!

Hey guys, here is my pic for this month's theme. Cant get any more un christmasy than Ebenezer Scrooge. To all the Collective Thinker's out there, Merry Christmas to all, and also to the followers and viewers.

I have been watching too much Pan Am. O_O

Pimp my ride

It took a while to figure out what to do with this month's theme. After going through a few different ideas, I finally settled on this one. I tried out a rough, flat style this time.

December's Theme - Bah Humbug!

Yes, I'm being lazy and going for the obvious Christmas theme, but in fairness my earlier idea was just 'Festive' haha. This is my absolute favourite time of year but even I have at least one thing that turns me into a total Grinch. What does it for you?

Pimp my Ride - Space Sk8r

Pimp My Toy Ride

Here is my drawing for pimp my ride. I could'nt think of anything to begin with then in popped Noddy so I pimped out his ride. It has all state of the art luxurys that any toy could wish for. Noddy especially loves his new sound system as his old car didnt even have a radio! Now he can listen to classic Toy Town hits.

November's Theme

Righto Collective Chums, the theme for November is Pimp my Ride.
Pick a mode of transport and pimp it to suit yourself,  from a shopping trolley to a spaceship or anything in between... as long as locomotion is possible. The nuttier the better :)

OCTOBER HORROR Barbed Wire Man...all he needs is a hug

Zombie Boy

Was going to stick to black & white to accommodate time constraints.... but you just can't draw a zombie without splashing some reds around, gore and gruesomeness a-go-go!
Now pick your favourite relative and/or friend, Zombie Boy has just eaten them : )

Sweeney Todd

I had some trouble getting this right.  I don't think I quite got it though. Ah sure I like the colors at least.

Just so ya know. I painted  this in watercolour on A1 Fabriano paper.  I created the blotted effect on the walls and ground with salt. It was taking too long to build up the darkness in watercolour, so when I was happy enough with it I photographed it in 4 sections, photo stitched and applied some filters. :)

It's All Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus

Watched my fav' Hallowe'en movie tonight and decided to base this month's post on it. Couldn't choose which version I prefer so I'm putting them both up.

Here is my piece of tasteful horror. Had trouble with my comp colouring this so it's not done to a finish I would prefer but its better than nothing. Went for sort of the same theme as my previous post with the devil girls, wanted a 50's horror style poster. I think it came out well except the colouring......

Happy Helloween

This is just a quick happy helloween I drew a few years ago, just added colour and text recently 4 fun. This is just for a laugh, im in the process of finishing my horror drawing and ill post hopefully this week :)

Ben's birds

Here's my collective post for the theme "Birds Birds Birds".  It features Black and White from Tekkonkinkreet, a favorite film of mine. I've wanted to draw these guys for a while now and I haven't drawn a city-scape in ages so I thought I'd try do the both here.

And as always I tried something new here too. I reversed my halftone dots, so instead of using the actual dots themselves I used the area around them. Just thought it would give me a more 'square-er' feel when sorting out the building silhouette.

I had a lot of fun with this one. I kept it B&W for obvious reasons. Since the theme was about birds I tried my best to keep them as much a character as Black and White are in this piece.  I like the idea of the crow resting on blacks club and White playing with the only dove in the whole city.

White's imagination is a great element to play with. In the film about half the things he's interacting with aren't really there and some times he just floats in mid air. I thought I'd have him play with a dove that may or may not actually be there, that's up to you.

I'll blog again soon, laters!

Aarggh!!

I set out to do an abstract image of a birds eye, but when I did a google search for reference a picture of Captain Birdseye showed up and I had to draw him (plus the parrot, to keep the theme). I should have know that would happen!

totem bird bird bird

i like totem poles!this one's a bit weird,

i actually hate that bird in the middle but anyway. :(

Birds, birds, big feckin' bird!

I think this has inspired a possible series of big bird paintings for me.:)  Got a little bit better this time, I think.  I have my friend Photoshop back now to make it all better.
