Dog Food Productions DVD Collection

My buddies and I have a little group called Dog Food Productions, if you read this blog regularly, you already know that. But what type of person would read this blog regularly? If it's you, you may have some unresolved issues in your life.

Anyway, we make silly short films with no budget, we've managed to do over a dozen of them. We have now given ourselves (mainly Randy, the director) the task of putting the entire back catalog onto DVD, and in turn cleaning off our plates, enabling us to head into the future to make even more silly short films.

Here is a teaser trailer for the collection that Randy did and some of the DVD covers I created.

Merry Christmas!

I usually go for the PC "Happy Holidays", but this year I went for "Merry Christmas". But Happy Holidays to you too.

Table Sketching at Dinner

The wife and I were at Macaroni Grill last night (thanks to a gift card!) and as usual I can't keep from sketching with the crayons. I always wind up drawing mobster type guys. Here are some from last night.

Italy Photos

My wife and I recently went to Italy. We visited Rome, Florence, (Lucca and Pisa in one day) and Venice. It was really incredible, we had a blast. If you have the means, you should go. Anyway, we uploaded a bunch of our photos. Check 'em out if you're interested. Captions by Heather. Click on the Colosseum to see them all...

Eyebrow Girls

These were done for a new website that sells custom eyebrow stencils. Yeah, I know, it's the first time I'd ever heard fo such a thing too! Who knew?

Great Monkey Prank

At Wizard World, a friend of mine handed me a postcard. Blank on one side, address and stamp on the other. They said they were pranking a friend of theirs by handing out the cards to artists and getting them to draw a monkey on the card and drop it in the mail. Of course the prankee wouldn't know who set them up for this. I thought it was great, fun prank, so of course I oblidged. I finally got around to doing mine. I'll be dropping it in the mail on Monday. Hope the guy likes it. Maybe he'll let me know somehow.

Spookytown Update

In 2008, I plan to get back on track with the Spookytown graphic novel. I've been so busy with other projects that it got sit aside. I still need to tweak a couple of parts of the script, but other than that it's ready to be drawn.

If you're interested, I have still have some sketchbooks for sale. It’s a 20-page mini-comic type book containing over 70 sketches, drawings and doodles that I’ve done will preparing to start the graphic novel. I printed up a limited edition of 100 books. Each is hand numbered and signed, I usually do a sketch on the back too. Just drop me a line if you'd like to buy one.

One Gal, Many Characters

Some commissioned images for a website. The woman wanted drawings of herself in all these different incarnations.

Magazine Cartoons

I do cartoons each month for Frisco Style, a local magazine. They come up with the idea and I draw them. I haven't posted any in over a year, so here's a huge backlog...

Couple of Christmas Cards

Cards I drew for a coupe of folks...

Spookytown in Rome

Recently my wife and I went to Italy (more on that later) and in Rome I found a really cool little comic book shop. We went in and shopped, I bought a Corto Maltese book because I want a comic in Italian as a momento. Anyway, I brought along a few of my Spookytown Sketchbooks in case I met anyone I would want to give one to. I gave the owner a copy. He didn't speak English very well, but asked if I drew it and he seemed to like it. Here is a photo I snapped of him looking at it as we left.

Tattoo Girl

I did this one just for fun.

Book Covers

Those two are separate book cover assignments I did recently. The one with the two girls in front of the mirror is for a book about teenage girls and self esteem. The other is for a fictional book, a romance novel.

Autism images

This is a series of images I produced for a presentation about dealing with autistic children.

Babytalkers

This is an illustration/logo combo I did for babytalkers.com . They talk about babies.

Getting technical

I usually don’t do “technical” drawings, but I had to recreate this digital signature pad for my day job. Thought I’d post it here for a change of pace.

Wedding Shower Invitation

A friend of my wife (and of me as well) is getting married and my wife and her friends threw her a bridal shower. They asked me to design the invitation. Here it is. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
