Animal

Boy, if there was ever a representation of me in my 20's...

Fozzie



"Judy, Judy, Judy!!"



Rowlf

"cottleston, cottleston, cottleston pie..."

Gonzo

HOORAY!!!! This week's character sketches will be the Muppets!!!!! Can't say enough how pleased I am with this.

Monday's character is Gonzo... Dr. Gonzo??

I can't wait to add some color to this...

UPDATE - and here we have some color -

Harley Quinn

I actually had both of today's Dr. Suess pics drawn up yesterday, so I decided to post a bonus Friday sketch!!!

the Grinch

I did this up in anticipation of the grinch being the Friday character choice. With Blogger being all tweeked out today, I don't even know if we'll find out who today's SkottieScott character is, so I figured I'd go ahead and post it anyway.

There is Darth Vader and there is the Grinch. These two characters are true perfections in villainy. These two character are so evil, so despicable...yet they each find redemption. And thank goodness for that!!

Let me also say this - Chuck Jones' Grinch is pure, unadulterated awesomeness. There is no rendition of the Grinch better than his and no one should ever mess with it. But, I did anyway. And boy was my son p!$$ed! He absolutely HATES this drawing.

Two things stood out to me as I did this and I was pleased that they were the first things my wife mentioned when she saw it. 1. What horrible teeth the Grinch has. and why shouldn't he? Do you think Max is a dentist? Does the Grinch look like he would have a toothbrush? 2. Max. I love the tongue. This is the first time in my life I have ever drawn a raspberry and I think I nailed it.

Green Eggs and Ham

Well, looks like they are starting to get Blogger back up and running.

I always thought Sam I Am was too pushy. Thus I drew him as a bit of a crazed-pusher.

Green Eggs and Ham is probably the book I have had the most fun reading to the kids. I have a ball switching back and forth between voices. Probably an early sign of schizophrenia...

Horton

Horton is a man elephant of ACTION!!! I think he would have been played much better by Harrison Ford.

the Lorax

I always loved the Lorax growing up. Reading it to my children has caused me to be critical of the little guy, though. What was this guys job? What good was he? He never spoke up until it was too late!!!

I actually had this pretty much done before Scott & Skottie posted this morning. Just had a feeling the Lorax was going to be today's character...

And for those of you wondering about my eye injury. I do still have a hole in my eye. It is closing up slowly but surely. Obviously I am back to drawing, though!!!

the Cat in the Hat

injury

yeah...i kinda stabbed myself in the eye....again. wont be drawing for a couple.

Asteroid Worm



WOW! DID YOU SEE THAT, HON!? I ALMOST GOT THAT ONE!!!!



 
I always wondered - what do these things eat? It seems unlikely that spaceships fly by those Asteroids very often. And honestly, the Millenium Falcon literally flew into this things stomach and it STILL couldn't catch it. I don't think these space worms would make good providers. I think drawing one of these guys with a disappointed (and likely hungry) wife is pretty accurate.
