Not a Gamble

localretard — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 06:51:12 +0000

Well not much to say about this piece. I was in a weird place at the time, listening to a lot of Bright Eyes (I know…), it didn’t turn out to bad though. It’s kind of clever, if you go listen to the album “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” you can see the elements of the songs. I still enjoy this piece, tell me what you guys think.

Sunset In The Summertime

This one always reminded me of “The Big Lebowski” for some reason…I think it is because the naked girl on the trampoline…yes…she is supposed to be naked. I was listening to Conor Oberst’s solo album while drawing this one. I was pretty bored that night and surprisingly this one took a while for me to complete considering how simple and…well…crappy it is. Enjoy!

I’m 20, But Not For Long

I actually forgot what the inspiration for this was. All I can remember is it was going to originally be a woman in a dress (look between the eyes). I did this at Barnes and Noble, it kind of reminds me of Max from “Sam & Max”.

Stories Within the Sounds

I’m gonna be completely honest here, I was hanging out with a couple friends…and they were stoned, when I told them that I have been trying to draw recently. I had also told them that I had been in a rut for awhile and didn’t really have any new ideas. We then proceeded to throw ideas out…this one caught my attention and I told them that I would draw it. So here it stands…probably my best work so far.

Forgetfulness the 8th Forgotten Sin

I had been listening to a lot of John Lennon’s solo work again, and I decided I wanted to create something like his “My Mommy’s Dead”.

River Through the Trees

I was on a Frank Zappa kick…plus I was bored. I really don’t know what else to say about this…see if you can hear the Zappa homage there.

Rashomon

I had actually watched the Kurosawa film for the first time about 3 weeks prior to recording this. I still need to read the book however….Enjoy!

Finding an Oasis in the Mojave

I was for some reason on an eastern kick. My buddy also said this one sounds like a David Lynch song in “Inland Empire”

Barnes and Noble Baby

localretard — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:30:41 +0000

I was sitting in Barnes and Noble when this old guy…with who I assume was his grandkid was complaining about having to drive his grandkid around…It made me mad. This is the result, freaking cry baby. This is also before I had my pens, so I drew this in pencil, scanned it in…and used Illustrator to live sketch it.
