Le Comic!

Ok so the gays and i are going to start something on this blog here that we think could be a load of fun for us as well as you guys. We're starting a (hopefully) weekly comic jam that each of us will do, but the trick to it is, who ever is next to draw the comic has to continue the story or event or whatever they want, from the previous comic that was posted on the blog.


Now, theres no real rules other then to keep things going, unless the artist decides to end it of course to his choosing. The style may change or may stay the same, basically its a improvised comic. So we'll see how this goes.


Heres the first! Painted it quite quickly during lunch and break today at work.

What would be really cool, and in true improv fashion, is later, we could get the people who come here to decide the initial settings of the comic. We'd ask you for a location, object, or profession and off we would go. I think it'd be rad.

Heart of Gold

prior to throwin this down, i had screwed around with a few other ideas....but then 'heart of gold' by little ol neil young just happened to make it's way into my delighted ears....so the next step was decided and i ended up with this...


i shouldn't have called attention to it....because i'm sure he's sensitive about it.....but after much debate....i decided to include Neil's obvious lack of knees and feet...
if anyone has seen him live then you know what i'm talkin about...

what he has on stage is fake...
this is what he really looks like...

no knees...
no feet...
forever floaty.

Johnny boy


Heres a quick little painting of John, which will conclude my drawing jam for this round. Might fix it up some more later on. Referenced this one from his live in New York album. Which is grand. ( By the way John was shot on the 8th of December in 1980, 27 years and 2 days)

My Jimi


Here's my Jimi Hendrix sketch.
More like a work in progress...sometime I'ma finish colorin' him.
