On June 29, The Rots will be celebrating their fifth-year anniversary (or should that be birthday?). Woo-hoo and all that sort of thing. It was on that date back in 2006 when I drew the very first Rot ever: Rodney, the very first Rot ever Seeing as how he’s five years old now (and all grown up), I thought it would be …

To celebrate the upcoming 100th birthday of Vincent Price, I decided to Rot him. Here’s the initial sketch, final color version in the works. Happy Birthday, Vincent. Thank you for scaring the living bejesus out of me when I was young and vulnerable.

Alice & Ruthie I don’t think I’ve ever posted this image here on the blog so, even though this one goes back a couple of years I’m gonna do it. The illustration was based on a story my mom used to tell about riding on the handlebars of her sister’s bicycle. Oh, and what happens when you brake. I guess …

Dear Mr. Burton, I’ve found myself in a desperate rut, the likes of which you’ve managed to retrieve me from in the past, and I’m hoping you will be available again sometime soon. January a year ago, I made a trek to the Museum of Modern Art, specifically to view your work on display there. I bought a membership just …

Well, my skateboard’s gone. He was a good little dude, but we always knew he’d have to leave someday. So it’s up to you guys now, and here’s what you need to do: Check out the Montana Skatepark Association‘s site to see what they’re about. Read about last year’s On Deck charity auction and exhibit. Watch for this year’s skateboards …

May have finished my skateboard painting up today, except for the varnish. I’ll take a look at him again tomorrow and see what he says.

Another productive day in the studio. I got some work done on Reg’s shirt and then added his goatee. Still need to do some tweaking on both and then work more on his shoes, but he’s getting there.

Another day in the studio working on my deck for the Montana Skatepark Association‘s On Deck VI charity auction and exhibit. Today I started with a little underpainting on Reg’s pants. And then I painting both his pants and hair (which turned out to be the same rusty color). Here’s a close-up of his hair. On this next part you’ll …

I’ve finally broke down and worked on some Camul merchandise. First up: Postcards Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. That I did it for Michelle. Well, I’ll have you know, I totally did. So, Michelle, here you go.

Worked a bit on my board for the Montana Skatepark Association‘s “On Deck” charity auction and exhibit. First, I painted a rough outline of the image on the board (above) and did some paint mixing. He says his name is Reg by the way (and pleased to meet you, thanks). I used Alizarin Crimson for the sketch, if you’re keeping score. Next …

While I was online this morning, I did a little surfing around the gallery on the Montana Skatepark Association site from On Deck V (last year’s), and I got an unexpected punch in the gut. One of the decks from last year was painted and doodled similarly to what I had planned on doing on mine. Ouch. This one isn’t …
