“Left, Right, Setty!” cartoon character drawing

Cartoon character with bulging eyes & tongue hanging out throwing dice, holding a shot glassThis cartoon character drawing was created for a friend’s upcoming party, which will also be doubling as a U.S. wedding reception for our friend Setty, who just got married over in India.

Setty is obsessed with the drinking dice game “Left, Right, Center”. He’s also notorious for exclaiming “Shots!” when out drinking, therefore the shot glass.

The friend who requested the art suggested creating it in the Odd Rods/”Big Daddy” Roth style which I am known to emulate from time to time.

Hot-rod scooter cartoon mascot character.

Steve over at The Scooter Scoop commissioned me a few months back to create an original Odd Rods inspired cartoon illustration for his blog. He’s posted a kudo-laden entry about the Odd Rods style scooter monster hot rod cartoon art I did for him, and I appreciate it very much. Just wanted to return the favor and give Steve and The Scooter Scoop a little press.The “Mod Rod” cartoon art is available at Café Press as well.

Thanks Steve!

Hot Rod Goon Sketch

cartoon sketch of a hot rod goon/creature/monster

A recent sketch of a hot rod goon/monster. This started out as just a character doodle that got converted into a hot rod goon.

I really wanted to play with the angle and personality of the hands, as well as use this as practice with shading. Never hurts to keep your chops up. You can even see me reworking the angle & size of the car. This is by no means a final illustration, just some practice cartooning. I especially like howw some of the curves and lines in the face came out, the have a real nice flowing, cartoony style.

PEZ MP3 player logo design

PEZ MP3 player logo designAll my gadget RSS feeds are a-buzz with the news that the PEZ MP3 player is finally available, and the logo was designed by me. I’m partially, non-credited famous! Yow!

The guy who created this officially licensed PEZ MP3 player — which is actually a real PEZ dispenser that has an MP3 player inside — is a stay at home dad, and a nice guy as well. He started the project up as a hobby, and from internet buzz he started thinking, “What if…” and today it’s a reality.
