MUG LUG

Arf for Arf's Sake

I sketched this while researching a logo that required a laughing dog. Arf.

MODERN MUG

YOB GOB

Another cartoon head with Bill Wray inspired Photoshop coloring .

MUGSY

UPDATED: This looks closer, at least on my machine, to the original file.


Another tough guy mug sketch in color. The color looked better before I made it a jpeg. Ahh well, no time right now to adjust it.

GOONS

Here are some cosmetically challenged gents. Sketched on the side of paying work.

TAXES?

ERNEST SMUDGE

(More cruel ridicule.)

IF-GEEKY

This is for Illustration Friday and began as a marker sketch on the edge of a manuscript I was illustrating. It was then colored in Photoshop.

I imagine this guy sitting in a dull meeting about "pro-actively maximizing profit potential while minimizing manufacturing and personnel costs while at the same time harnessing the synergy of our core assets". Meanwhile he drifts into a Walter Mitty-like daydream.

You Should See the Other Guy

This was to be the front of a get well card for my nephew who had been in a car accident. The inside of the card was going to show his face, after the bandages were removed, rearranged like a picasso painting . I wasn't sure how bad the injuries were to his face so I decided to do a less edgy card. As it happens his injuries were minor and he would have probably enjoyed the card. Still, I would have felt horrible if he was disfigured and then presented the card I had planned.

Scary Mug

No matter what your political loyalties may be,
you really must agree,
all enemies must beware,
Condoleeza's deathray stare.

MORE MUGS

I don't know why I called him Carlo. It just seemed to fit him.

The funniest mug of all.

Huh?

Another ugly mug.

This Dame is...

The picture above is the revised version.

Another in the thug mug series of graphic curiosities set forth to amuse any who by chance find themselves surfing this obscure channel on the ultimate ocean of digital info. I'm not entirely happy with the design graphics (too plaid looking) but gave up tinkering, I might re-do this one (top picture is revised version).

LUSH LIFE

Again, like the kid with the bad teeth that I posted before, this isn't a caricature of anyone. It was a sketchbook ink drawing that was scanned and colored in Photoshop. The graphic style of the picture is a nod to my friend Anthony Carpenters Sketchville blog posts (see links list at right).
