Day #23.Actor/Actress

Bryce Dallas Howard (Actress) + Seth Gabel (Actor), married since 2006. I adore their works so much. They've more repute for stage than screen but anything they've been in is made better for them having been in it. They've only been in one film together (Good Dick) as the annoying 'kissing couple' in the video store, which this image is drawn from. She's so obviously pregnant in it, I'm endlessly charmed.

Day #22. Favorite Cartoon Character

Inexplicably New York. Smexy but not a Furry. "Metrosexual" before it was even a word. The exception that proves the rule... the friggen exception to every rule. Needs no introduction...

...accept no substitutes, Doc.

Day #21. Guilty Pleasure

I'm not big on guilt; I drink, I swear, I'm loud and I'm OK with these things, so this theme wasn't easy.

Coffee is all I got; I feel guilty it dehydrates me to the point that I shouldn't have more Coffee, but then I do anyway and feel better... right before I feel a whole lot worse.

Hence the "Guilt" :D

Day #20. Your Dream Job

@7 I wanted to be a firemen, but I knew I wasn't really up to the physicality of it.
@14 I wanted to be an architect, but I knew couldn't wrap my brain around the maths of it.
@21 I wanted to be able to walk again, properly, without braces or canes, which I since have done.

<--That sort of thing teaches you achievable dreams aren't really worth the time to dream them, in fact they're called "Goals". That's the sort of thing I wish I could unlearn.

Since then, myself, I don't dream anymore. But insomnia leaves me a lot of hours to be captured up in crazed thoughts; neither dreams nor goals, just ramblings of happy mad-bits tied together by couplets and limericks matched w/ phosphorescent images, some would call musings.

I think I've trained all my life to be suited to the task "Creating".

If I could have a dream job, it would probably be to make of "Job of Dreaming", make 'em bigger, better, broader. BOMBASTIC even. I reckon' I'd be quite good at that.

Day #19. Sea Creature

Our Ronnie (veronicakaitlyn) asked for Loch Ness, so this is for her. I never did much imagine Nessie was a Brontosaurus. I like to imagine she’s more magical than just that. Not that a Brontosaurus could really be ‘just’ anything.

Day #18. ZOMBIES

Beside my tablet, I keep a vial of Zombie!Cure I picked up sometime ago. I've got escape routes, weapons, back-up escape routes, back-up weapons, etc. Zombie Apocalypse comes & I'm all about the double-tap + heads-shots-only. I get that.
But today, I realized what I don't get is "Fan-Girls". If they ever up-rose... I'd just swallow my shotgun.

Day #17. A Delicious Food

(World Famous) Lindy's Cheesecake. There is nothing better... and if there is I'd never know since I've developed a crippling intolerance to lactose. Still, make a bee-line for there whenever I get near her, at least for Good Morning Coffee or Midday Long Island Ice-Teas :D

Day #16. Drawing With Eyes Closed

Another bit of a cheat, Collab effort with one of my wards, 8-year-old Grace. She wanted to draw the T.A.R.D.I.S. in the Time-Vortex. All the colors and crayons are hers. I kept my eyes closed all the while

it was, freakishly intense for me...

Day #15. A Dinosaur

Bit of a cheat cuz this is NOT a dinosaur, but I was looking at the Dinosaurs on the toy-shelf, trying to pick just one, when I saw Retro!Godzilla giving Nu!Godzilla the stank eye. This just had to be done.

Day #14. Portrait of a Pet(s)

Misery [Age 18]; she's a flippin' Ninja.
Omen [Age 9]; she's a goddamn pillow.
Id [Age 71/2]; she's the kindest, dumbest, gentlest pile of black fur you’d ever meet. Sucha shame there's such stigma about black cats, racists!

Warning: still drawing, just less + less on-line availability. I'll post more when I can.

Day #12.An Elderly Person

Fleur + an Nostalgic Old Bird from “Cirque Du Soleil; Allegria”. Maybe a cheat, since their features are exaggerated to begin with but since we’ve been watching this DVD for the past few days, its hard to pull inspiration from anywhere else.

Day #11. Super Villain

When it comes to “Villains” there is no one more villainous than Hilter… except I don’t want to draw him, so instead I’ve drawn Charlie Chaplin (from ‘the Great Dictator’), because he is still rather “Super”.

Day #10. Super Hero

Charlie Chaplin was much more than just Super and he has/will always been a Hero to me.

Day #9.Siamese Twins

First thought; it could only be of Ping + Jing [from Big Fish], partly because for Twins, conjoined or otherwise, they've got such different countenance its equally disarming as it is charming ...but mostly because they end up with Wandering Poet Laureate/Turned Bank Robber/Turned Wall Street Tycoon played by Steve Buscemi, which is a level of awesome I could never capture on paper.

Day #8.Scene From A Movie

Having just watched "Inception" for the second time, it's difficult to entertain the prospect of drawing of a scene from any other movie... but then comes the tougher choice of which scene, since I kinda love them all.

So, here is 13-hours of straight quick work, including a bit of something from nearly every scene, only not spoiler-y (if you can imagine such a thing!)

*I drew Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe + Dileep Rao as well. Even tried to add them to the piece but that just made it look busy... er. Posted late; cuz of a butt-load of Hi-Res scanning.

Day #7.Hybrid Animal

Up till an hour ago, not a damn thing came to mind, until I saw SciFi Channel's trailer promos from ComicCon2010 and among them was "Sharktopus"(?!). It's not the it inspired, it's that the concept confused me. Because if Sharks can only see shapes through shadow... well, honestly, wouldn't they just scare the crap out of themselves if they were part Octopus? I think, yes...

Day #6.What's In Your Bag?

Most common items found in every bag I own; 1) Fleur De Lis 2) packets of Sugar and 3) specialized stationary… possibly a RedBull. To think, this is my tiniest bag, still pretty full-up with nerdist chaos <3

For a change of pace and medium, I borrowed the schoolroom and its supplies, which was a good idea in every way except execution. Believe me, the last thing you want is children poking through your things while you’re focused on trying to capture “still life”.

Day #5. Childhood Memory

My earliest childhood memory is having been mauled by a dog at age 2. I didn't mind very much cuz I loved that dog. I've loved no other dog since. Seriously, total cat-person... and now it makes sense.

Day #4 Redesign Book Cover

I always resented how drab Salinger's Book Covers were. I could never hate the man, but he sure made resenting him easy. Only "Catcher" had a variant cover, but that did little for me since "Franny & Zooey" was always my favorite of his works. See?

Note: Favoritism!
