MARCH-SKETCH-A-DAY 2012

Ratifying the need for professional Inkers and Colorists & the reason why I digitally re-illustrate everything I do:

These are all my daily sketches for the month of March (March is official "sketch-a-day" month), starting with DAY-1 at the bottom and DAY-31 at the top, below this text. These are all traditionally sketched with non-photoblue lead (a regular B lead would be better for markers) & Caran d'Ache lead holder. All hand colored with Copic markers (except for Day 04 "Al -VS- Puzilla" which is partly painted with Winsor Newton water colors and gouache paints). The first three days were re-done on March 31 because the originals were a mess (took me a couple of days to get into sketch-a-day mode). They each took from 1 to 2 hours.

PSYCHIATRIC CERTIFICATION

This idea has been kicking around inside my brain for many years. It's a gross exaggeration, loosely based on the experience I've heard from several different people's visits to various different doctors. I've penciled it several times and in several different variations. I finally put them all together into a tight six panels of joy & excitement.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION

DISCLAIMERATORY NOTE: It has come to my attention that some people may think that the solutions and procedures portrayed in this comic are in fact what needs to be done if one encounters "Unintended Sudden Acceleration" with their vehicle (one person I showed this to actually believed it). As this comic is purely fictitious and merely a parody on the matter (no real quotes or references to real life are used), NOTHING IS REAL HERE! DO NOT DO WHAT THIS COMIC SAYS! IT'S A JOKE!

Frenzied minds learn how to make a car!

Concept cars and designer's sketches are always completely awesome. But as history has shown us in the last three decades, by the time that fantastic concept reaches production, the car is but a an ugly derivative. This is my speculative-lament.

Presenting PAIR-OF-DUMMIES!

I was inspired by the paradummy of WW2 (while watching "The Longest Day" movie) and thought it fitting to use them as political figures. Britain's first paradummy was made of stuffed burlap. They were nammed Rupert. The USA made a paradummy out of rubber and it was named Oscar. Paradummies were used in war to lure enemy troops into staged ambushes. Just about every country used them, Germany being the first in 1940 during the Battle of the Netherlands and in Belgium (Google "Paradummy" and or see Wikipedia).
I created this episode in reply to a request for comic creations over at CGtalk.com Wednesday Night Comic Creators Club 001: October 2008 .
