trading crafts...

I have a friend named Ashley Schatzinger who has made me some awesome beanies! They cost me the originals of both of these pictures which I drew specifically for her. They kinda pertain to some inside jokes we have...

this is the first one I drew for her for a blue beanie. We served together in the retreats that they had at the shool conference center as waiters and greeters. I actually got kicked off of the greeting team because I was known to 'goof around' too much when greeting the guests. I mean seriously, what's wrong with an grandois bow, a dozen or so different accents, a few hugs, and some festive singing and dacing to welcome the retreaters to their dining experience? The retreaters loved it, they called me the foreign exchange student!!! But, unfortunately, the retreat staff didn't appreciate it as much. (sorry it's a lil wrinkled)



this is a sketch I did of her dog for a red beanie. probably the farthest i've strayed into realism in some time, but she liked it either way ;) unfortunately, this is a copy of a copy :(

Caricatures!... (I think that's how ya spell it, heh)

I nearly forgot about these things!!! I've drawn random people around campus with noticeable faces and had a lil fun with 'em. I'll name them off for ya...

from left to right, top to bottom, we have Zachary Moore, me, Ricky Bobby, Ramon Torres, and some quick doodles



Ramon again, Izzy w/Victor Trujillo's hair (oooohh, the irony), Camry coughing as usual, and Ian (please don't kill me if I spelt ur name wrong)


Here's my homeboy, Andrew! this guy's a hoot!


ohh yeah, in a chuck-track, Pastor Chuck said that he used to come home every day, look at his hibiscus plant and shout, 'praise the Lord hibiscus!' and thusly the plant would flourish. he also stated that if he came to your place and noticed your plants were wilting, he might have an idea why, heheh ;)


These guys are my homies, J-dawg and slothbo (aka jeremiah crespo from destroy the runner)


when Camry is not coughing uncontrollably, she is a jedi warrior


can't forget my friend Megan, this is her kiddy pic *(lean like a chola!!!)


just for your information, if you don't tell me what it is you want to be doing in your pose, I'll give you something to do, heheheh ;]. Take this lovely example of the proverbs 31 clad Alicia, Wesley, and Abigail... eat your heart out boyz!


here's another of Izzy... with a monkey throwing poop at him. but still... something's missing.


... aaaahh yes! a burrito



And last but not least, my personal favorite... the UK girls. This one recieved a great deal more time & attention then the other ones, these friends are also very special too me as well. On the left we have Sara from Scottland, the girl who gives me the awesome requests for pics such as the lil scott girl and the golfing dinosaurs. On the right we have Emma from England, who keeps me in my place and looks out for my constantly as her brother in Christ. I'm priviledged to have friends like these 2.

aaaahhh... L'amor

welp, I tried my hand at depicting love and it didn't come out too bad, I think. I wanna still photoshop a cool background in it, we'll see what I do w/ it.

PPG

yeah, so maybe I went through a fad or two growing up... this was still an awesome concept. Craig McCracken was a genius with this whole show. I the show was hillarious! yeah, so I got a lil obsessed and got the bed set, posters, and all the collectables, even had my email address as LennyBaxter (the ppg compulsive collecter) but hey, at least It wasn't something lame like salor moon... pphhhssh!

anyway, here's some pics from back in the day, (99, 00, & 01).

these next 2 are from a art war I had with my bro Alex. he designed this character who was some magical pokemon trainer named Damien and he audaciously believed that Damien could defeat the awesome might of the powerpuff trio! we would draw comic back and forth with them fighting. this one has both Damien and Alex gettim a whoopin!
