Polamalu



Is everyone aware that Troy Polamalu's hair is insured for one million dollars? We all know this, right?

Anyway, this is an illustration of Polamalu for Great Lakes Life Magazine. This is my second month with the magazine and I'm slowly weaseling drawings into various sections of the publication. The print version of this image is only about 2 inches by 2 inches so details weren't the highest priority.

Be sure to check back soon, because the October issue just hit stands so I'll be releasing other images from it shortly. I'd post them now...but I'd much rather eat some eat some leftover pizza.

A Man's Drink

The other day, I was at a steakhouse, seeing how much prime rib I can suck down before I actually start to sweat au jus, when I noticed two enormous bikers sitting at a table next to me. Typically, this wouldn't be a big deal. I expect to see bikers at a steakhouse. What was odd is that they were both drinking large, neon colored margaritas, complete with fruit spears.

I suppose it takes a big man to order a girly drink...and that's where this came from. Now who wants to nurse some lemon drops?

Not-So-Daily Sketch: Jelly

Jellyfish on toast. Is this the most original or funny idea ever? Absolutely not. But back when I did the Devil Went Down To Georgia and Wolf in Sheep's Clothing sculptures, a really loose pen drawing of this jellyfish got scribbled down as a potential third 3-D piece. That project never took off but every time I flipped through my sketchbook, I would see the little doodle and something about it seemed appealing to me. So the line work got a face lift and I threw some color on it.

I think he's meant to remain two dimensional...but that could just be the laziness talking...

Not-So-Daily Sketch: Tricycle Cavalry



Admittedly, "unicycle infantry" is a cooler name, but it's horribly inaccurate. And based on the drawing, you can clearly see I'm all about historical accuracy.

Not-So-Daily Sketch: Show Brah


People like this are why I dislike going to concerts. Regardless of the music genre, at least four of these bro-dads seem to manifest and fill my body with hatred.
