Thomas in Blue

More doodling with the Wacom. Found the pressure sensitive settings in Illustrator today. Way more fun.

Talking bout Thomas

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:24:00 +0000

Finally playing with the wacom tablet 8 months later. Just doodling in Illustrator. Guess I have Thomas on the brain these days…

Save the Date

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 03:23:00 +0000

Back in the drawing saddle to make a save the date card for some friends. Starring Zeuss, their puggle. They wanted a retro valentine theme since it is almost Valentine's day.

My excuse

I apologize to both followers of this blog. Doodling has taken a backseat to daddying.

Manallo returns

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:52:00 +0000

As I've posted before, this is my favorite character. Now he has grown horns and looks borderline scary on that deck with his grill. Don't worry folks. He may be wild and wooly, but he is a gentle soul.

More layered doodles based on photos in both the Herald and the Globe.

Relax Fast!

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 04:15:00 +0000

Another layered doodle based on the cover of an old promotional record called Relaxing With The Niagrans. It was meant to sell chairs. Amazingly, google returns no results for "relaxing niagrans" or you would have a link. If my cat wasn't snoozing on my lap maybe I'd scan the cover because it is a gem.

Ginger

Here's a doodle from the commute home today. Based on a panel from a Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend book.

Rainbow Fancy Feast

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 02:39:00 +0000

When you want to make something and you only have 2 hours, make a blob and put a face on it. Good clean fun.

Xin chúc mừng!

A congratulations card for friends adopting from Vietnam

Owl Suit

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 01:12:00 +0000

If I was directing a photo shoot for an owl suit in the Sears catalog in the late 70s, the guy in the suit would be playing basketball in a driveway. Because what else would you do in an owl suit?

Harry O's Tuna Sub

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 20:37:00 +0000

For several months last year I explored the tuna sub offerings of Boston's South End, where I work. While it won't win any awards, Harry O's tuna sub has a special place in my heart. It just won't come unclogged. Particularly a small tuna sub with cheese, pickles, and tomato. If it's not toasted in the pizza oven it doesn't count.

Spring Fever

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 04:01:00 +0000

The Red Socks open their season in Japan on my birthday! Woohoo! Let's go birthday.

Multicultural Fair

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:13:00 +0000

The post with the dancing animals sketch feels like 3 years ago. The final illustration for the Alliance for Children's 7th Annual Multicultural Fair is done. You can't go wrong with an animals of the world dance party, can you?

Little Hay shirt

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 14:25:00 +0000

My new favorite craft is DIY silkscreening. This is a baby shirt with that fennel drawing I posted back in '82. Hay was going to embroider the leaves (foliage? fronds? idunno), but this is a winter fennel.

Here are some resources on making your own silkscreen on the cheap:

Mr. Fennel

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 03:40:00 +0000

Besides being an all around top notch vegetable, fennel is Latin for "little hay".
This little drawing would look good on a baby onesie, don't you think?

Panda & Turtle

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 02:30:00 +0000

This is going to be a homemade mix CD cover for my wife's friend who is adopting from China. Hay asked for a panda and a turtle who are friends. The panda represents a Chinese baby. The turtle represents a Vietnamese baby.

Cpt. Doo-Wop

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 02:39:00 +0000

It has been far too long since I posted a drawing. This little pup is chasing away the rust. Hay thinks he looks like a Doo-Wop. He is obviously a captain. Based on a photo from the Brimfield Antique Show earlier this Summer.

100 Good Wishes

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 02:50:00 +0000

This is a quickie for my family's adoption blog. Tagging my textures is like a second job right now…

Texture Library

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 03:42:00 +0000

No new illustrations this weekend because I have been doing some work on my texture library. I have now reached my goal of having a DVD size collection of images I like - 1,274 images taking up 4.29 GB. Check out some samples. Now I have to finish tagging all of them so they can be found when needed. I'm going to burn a few copies for friends, then decide if I want to do anything besides use them. A texture donation to imageafter.com? A reasonably priced DVD for sale?

Inconvenienced Badger

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 02:46:00 +0000

Stupid elephant is blocking the whole street. That is inconvenient. Photoshop CS3 can export to zoomify. That is convenient.

Vexed Kitten

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 18:18:00 +0000

There have been requests for Vexed Kitten and Inconvenienced Badger, so I guess I'd better finish what I started. This kitten is so vexed by a local pup that he won't even eat cake.

Displeased Owl

noreply@blogger.com (eric) — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 02:39:00 +0000

I probably like yellow more than the next guy, but the Disgruntled Owl was overpoweringly yellow. This looks better tonight, but time does wonders for changing my mind…
