Consession Voodoo Taxicab

This was going somewhere, but I spent too much time yakkin' during the last TAG.
I have plans to put in a popcorn popper somewhere.

Well, it was my first TAG North and just wanted to share with anyone thinking of showing up. That it was pretty cool and not only do we chat it up and sketch. But, we take pictures of our selves! And it’s all great fun!

From left to right.

foxes

Hi all!
Time to post somethin...
Here are those foxes I was sketching up on Tuesday. Still muddling over ideas for a werefox story.

Comic Con founder passes

Shel Dorf, the founder of the San Diego Comic Con and original TAG member passed away a few days ago. Here is a news report about him:

KFMB-TV - "Remembering Man Who Started Comic-Con"

Pig Face Pete

My 1st Tag post! This is Pete, a side show freak...I was thinking of using him for a short story. Don't know if it'll ever happen but drawing him was fun. ;)

"You're gonna buy this glider rocker, see?"

So last night we had randomly generated "inspiration" topics to choose from, and I went with "Sojourn Amish Crime Boss." This is what I came up with:


As Rick pointed out, there's probably more Hasidic Jew than Amish in this dude - and maybe even be a little Lee Van Cleef - but since he's holding a knife I'm not going to say anything about it.

Our man Brett Bean was at TAG last night! He told us about the "two-animal mash-up" game he plays whenever he's stuck for an idea on what to draw, and then showed us the sketch for his excellently abombinable Great White Gark. It inspired me, but the version I drew last night was poop. I took another shot at it this morning:


What's that you say? It looks like I put a giraffe and a shark into the transporter from the 1986 re-make of "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis? Why, thank you! Thank you very much!

Happy Halloween!

Frankensteiny Drawing

From October's meeting.

TAG October

Here's a mummy with a chainsaw.

Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum ...

Here's a "storybook giant" sketch for Halloween!

More Brushes on the bus

Here's another image I've made on the ride to and from work with Brushes. I've got Sketchbook now, too, but I haven't done anything interesting with it yet. It's sort of clunky compared to the immediacy of Brushes. However, it does have more brushes and other features, so I will spend some more time with it.

Halloween sketches!

Some fun Halloween doodles from TAG last night!

Halloween doodles

I did some quick coloring on some Halloween/Monster doodles from last night.

More Brushes

Here's another image that I painted with Brushes. I see there's another sketching/painting app called Sketchbook Mobile... anyone try it yet?

I got Brushes!

I've got Brushes now, and I'm liking it a lot. Very fun and intuitive.

Return of the Hippo

I missed the last TAG, but I thought it would be cool to show what I did with a previous TAG sketch. The color and line work were done in Flash as a test for a coloring idea. It worked and now I have a Hippo head to animate! Lucky me!

Sept. Newbie

My name is Mark Honschke and I am a newbie to the TAG group. I have worked as a sculptor and model-maker for the last ten years and as a consequence my 2D skills have fallen to the wayside. I am inspired by the talent of the group hope to learn from its members to re-learn what I have lost. The above images are the civilian amphibious vehicle with flippers and a redesign of a my toy company mascot. Thanks again to Rich and Rick for the invite and see you in Oct.

Mouthbreather

He could breathe through his nose if he really wanted to. But he doesn't want to.

September Meeting

My stuff from the last sketch group (thanks for having me, it was great fun): some challenges Chiu threw out ("a child’s dream" and "an Asian dude") and my hover-crafty amphibious vehicle

September mtg.

A character and a land-roving, amphibious vehicle. The wheels would pop up in the water and work for floatation.
