Hippy Shark



So, about a week or so ago I was having breakfast with some buddies and I was talking with my godson Sam, whose is almost ten, about sharks. Somehow the question came up, 'what if sharks had hair?' After the obvious Elvis and James Brown references, the idea of a hippy shark was mentioned, you know, with a flower in its hair and everything. So, here's a sketch of said shark.

Someone has to teach the boy to think outside the box...

Actually, Sam is very knowledgable about all things sharks. He even knows what a Helicoprion shark is. So, we can talk.

Visigoths



Like my last Visigoth post, this one a minor transgression, but since I haven't posted much in between doing some larger projects, a bunch of sketch cards, a weathervane and cleaning and restoring statues, here's a quick sketch from a brief encounter.

As I was leaving Kevin's house this afternoon, there were a few younger teenagers on their bikes in the street right at the end of the driveway. I actually had to back up farther and go around them as they wouldn't move. As I driving by, one of the kids nods his head to me with the usual "I'm a arrogant dumbfuck' look that one gets when dealing with such a lot. I had the impulse to roll down my window and give him a teachable moment and tell him that little boy assholes only impress other little boy assholes.

But, I took the high road.

Sigh.

Stoopid Stuf Snail



I thought I'd show my original drawing for the cover of the black and white collected edition (50 Shades Of Stoopid) of our Stoopid Stuf cartoons. I liked the spacey look on the snail.

Available from either of us and Amazon.
