All Artists and Cartoonists- check in Here and say Hello!

[Sugar Smack]

I want to see your stuff-your paintings, your cartoons, and your sketchbook pages. The latter especially so that I can see your thought process as you got from there to here. Please, BRING IT ON. Here are some of mine.

"Phoebe" is a comic strip I've been doing for about ten years. The watercolor is a book I'm working on now. The rest is from my portfolio.

[Sugar Smack]

1. I'd also like to apologize for the abberations in size.

When I post next, I'll have that fixed. Thank you.

I've looked at your other artwork, too, and discovered so much energy there. You may want to to a graphic novel sometime. You know what I'm saying?

A satire of Calvin and Hobbs...





Maybe I'll get some more up later, If I can escape all this noisy shit on photobucket.

[Sugar Smack]

11. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is wonderful, especially since they're doing the normal C&H stuff, and using your words. I love it!!

[Longgrain]

12. Here's another I did. A satire of Blondie...

About ten years ago...enjoy...

[Sugar Smack]

13. OMG-You have Blandie there looking like a brothel wench.

You make me want to scan in some of my "Cathy" spoofs- I really can't stand Cathy.

[Longgrain]

14. Either way, you are a girl after my own heart Sugah.

N/T Cause I'm going to bed...and it seems just you and me are responding to this thread...

[Taxloss]

21. Longgrain, I think I love you.

I used to think stylewriting was a skill; but styledrawing? You are a very talented person.

Just don't be mean to C&H.

[Longgrain]

22. I wish you could find an Art Agent who agreed with you.

Otherwise, I just go back to work at the supermarket tomorrow.

[Sugar Smack]

28. I'm guessing you work in the bakery..

Am I right? You seem to have the bakery temperament.

That's a compliment.

:loveya:

[Longgrain]

35. Nah... Stockroom...

Breaking down pallets, and stocking frieght...

Tough job, but someone's got to do it...

[Taxloss]

57. Ouch.

That's all I have to say on the subject.

[Placebo]

15. Is art welcome too?

I love your drawings. :)

Here are a few of my oil pastels:

[Sugar Smack]

16. Thank you! I love that third one-did you save that up for dessert?

What is the story behind that one? And yes, all art is permitted and welcomed!

:D

[Placebo]

17. heh, i wish.

no story per se, i was just feelin' blue...so i decided to go orange :D

[Sugar Smack]

18. That is yummy. I love your attention to detail

and what I want to do is learn a little bit more about how to use Photobucket to my things come out the right size.

:loveya:

[Taxloss]

19. I love that stuff!

I collect the work of a Uk cartoonist called Robert Thompson and pland to start collecting another tthree cartoonists soon (Bell, McLachlan and Rowson, for those who care). I draw a bit myself but nowhere near as good as you. My single best and funniest cartoon consists of a scientist looking really sceptically at a blackboard that says "The Certainty Principal". He's thinking "I'm not sure about this". The caption reads "Heisenberg experienced his greatest doubt at the crowning moment of his career".

I know, it's shit. I had another about an attention-seeking missile, but it was a long time ago. And the kitchen guide to political theory.

[Sugar Smack]

24. I want to see anything you have baby!!!!!

Sketches, anything!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ralps]

30. The Pottery and Jewelry were created when I took some classes. There

are places that will let you fire pottery. I do hand-built pottery so I don't need a potter's wheel. Right now my art is hanging in my apartment.

I know it sounds easier than it is..all you have to do is look at my lineup to see how clueless I am at that, darlin'!!

[Abelman]

46. Just a comic I used to draw

that's it.

[cleofus1]

29. i already posted the only two paintings i have in previous posts...

here are a couple of cartoons done while doodling on stickies at work...they usually get thrown away,,, but a couple have survived...

[Sugar Smack]

31. Would you do yourself and me a favor-

and SAVE all your stickies? Look, a lot of us just throw our stuff away, but I'd really like to see yours appreciated, like I'm doing right now! You are fantastic!!

[cleofus1]

34. thanks

been drawing since i was a boy and took an awful lot of art classes in high school and some college...i rarely draw anymore...just doodling...i find i spend more time playing my guitar these days...but who knows...i'm not dead yet...maybe there is still time to finish a few more projects...

[Sugar Smack]

37. Here's one

[Sugar Smack]

38. Shit.

Shit.

[ldf]

39. i'll post one by my partner

he occasionally peruses du, but is not signed up.

he is a comic person, but is quite talented in other areas, too.

he is too wholesome to make money, though (so far :-) ). but he is just a wholesome kinda guy.

[Sugar Smack]

42. I LOVE it!!

Give me some more of that cartoon spirit anytime!

[rstlne]

40. I used to do lots of watercolors

Here's one of my old dog portraits.



I'm more into photography nowadays.

[Sugar Smack]

41. YOU DID THAT?????

HOW?

[rstlne]

43. I'm kind of a perfectionist

It's not your typical water color, I developed my technique after seeing
my step mother's water colors, she was very good and I guess when I saw her stuff I just felt compelled to be better than her.

[Sugar Smack]

44. LOL!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a teeny bit of OCD in your blood, like I do?

[rstlne]

45. umm..

actually, I was going to mention that in my comment, guess I figured it was obvious!

[progressor]

47. Here's some...

A really bad scan of a standard photo of a painting I did sophomore year of my BFA Painting & Drawing studies. The real thing looks much better. About 6'x4' oil on canvas. Take from it what you want - it's more of a joke in that it was meant to create controversy, when I had no political agenda i.e. "meat is murder", or anything else, but I wanted to inspire those reactions. Some loved it, some hated it. It was hanging in the entryway to the visual arts building for almost a full semester. I used to stop and look at it and ask people what they thought or just say "Wow, I hate this painting." You get really honest responses doing that, however dishonest it might be. One girl told me it "made her want to throw up." Haha - classic!



And this one from senior year just before I graduated. About 3'x 3' oil. A decent reproduction.

[Sugar Smack]

53. WOW. Thanks for your contribution, progressor!

You have an incredibly sensual style that's more texture than anything. Your paintings are amazing.

[cleofus1]

56. i want the top one!

It would look great in the kitchen!

mmmmmmmmmmmm......wabbit!heh heh heh.....

[Jamastiene]

48. OMG. Beautiful. I love it.

I have drawn a few things (not that great), but I'm definitely more of a music person when it comes to creating art. I have none of my music or drawings digitalized though. I do LOVE art as a fan though. Great work, Sugar Smack.

This one


would make a great desktop wallpaper. Do you have a scan in a larger size??? Pretty please???

[Heidi]

49. "Lacey's Life."

This isn't the sort of work I normally do, but my sister's dog, Lacey, is so long-suffering that I did a four-panel cartoon about her.

[radfringe]

50. watercolors and 'toons'

more watercolor paintings: http://radfringe.tripod.com/bluestonestudio/

couple of my 'toons':

[Sugar Smack]

54. LOL!!!!!!!!

Beautiful!!!!!!!

That's it, I'm becoming a political cartoonist, and fuck everything else!
