Pirate and Parrot, 2002, ink with digital color.

I spy a pirate post!

The image above is an old item of homework for Drawing Class (eventually Drawing Jam) on the Drawing Board. Its background is lifted from an engraving by Gustave Dore which illustrates some editions of Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Pirate tee designs, 2005, ink with digital color.

As the sub-heading indicates, these're proposed tee designs. I imagine green and blue shirts'd be fun, too.

SBPJ Prepares to Battle Goat Goon, 2005, graphite and ink with digital color.

I imagine it'll be a brief battle, don't you?

Darkseid and Orion, 2005, graphite.

I drew these Darkseid and Orion heads while reading a collection of the original New Gods series. I love the thinly-veiled references to world mythology and pop culture in Kirby's creations.

To me Orion's helmet loudly barks, "Bulldog!" so I tried to reflect that in my drawing.

The New Gods created by Jack Kirby. The New Gods, the distinctive likenesses thereof, and related elements are trademarks of DC Comics.

One-panel gag, 2002, graphite.

I'm fairly certain this drawing (an item of late-filed homework for Drawing Class) is the first I posted on the ol' Drawing Board.

Prehistoric Running Mates, 2007, graphite with digital gray tones.

I try to be conscientious about use of filler in my weblog. Still, in the immediate future, you may be forced to routinely consume familiar filler while I focus my gaze on tempting targets.

Might I suggest you add mile to your jog or do a few extra crunches to avoid the adverse effects of filler?

Concerned for your welfare, JMc
