The Grossest Pirate of the Seven Seas!
Arggh this be Cpt. Greenteeth! And he be very nasty and unbathed! He is the main character in a proposed children's book I'm hoping to write and illustrate. This here's his first incarnation and I will be detailing the process from original concept to final colored art. I recently came across an article on Mike Laughhead's website detailing how he uses photoshop to enhance his illo's so I thought I'd give it a shot. His stuff is really coo,l so go check it out.

Unto a thing of Iron, Pt. 2
So here's my color rough of the pen & ink drawing from yesterday's post. Since I am not a professional I expect it will take me some time to fine tune this image into a slicker version than it is right now. I'll keep posting my attempts (both bad & worse) and hopefully I'll have a pretty cool rendition by the end of it. Any pointers on Photoshop CS are much appreciated.

Unto a Thing of Iron...
Well here's half of my favortie seventies duo! I recently got hooked on Project: Rooftop (if you wish to check theem out you should) and I've decided to redesign one of my teenage fave's...Iron Fist! This is the first step, I hope to add some color to make it look more "professional" before I submit it. Tell me what you think? Then tell your friends.

An Experiment Begun...
This is a blatantly inspired rip-off of the kind of thing Jim Woodring is doing on his blogspot site, but of course I am a far cry from his calibre of performance. Still since this blog is supposedly dedicated to comics and the other things going on at Crazy Naked Ape Comics Group I feel no shame in posting it. Stay tuned for more developments...

An Interesting Opinion
"...No man can be fully efficient if he expects praise or appreciation for what he does. The uncertainty of this reward, as experienced, leads to modificatioin of one's actions to increase its probability...If a man permits himself the purpose of securing admiration, he tends to make that purpose primary and the doing of his proper work secondary. This costs human lives..." Manual, Insterstellar Medical Services Pp.17-18;

Malcontented Uprising
It should be noted that we never understood the true reasons for our dissatisfaction. We only knew that we could not continue under the existing regime and it's blindness toward our plight. As an organism we were a failure, so far removed from our orignial purpose that no one, NO ONE, could lead a convincing surmise of what that "true" nature could possibly be. There had been plenty of acceptable and even passingly plausible ruminations on the subject but after all none could agree and so the arguement degenrated into misperceptions and violence.

Superfluous Alchemy II
Ruminating on the chemical redundencies inherent in the system, our hero sallied forth into the transaxle. Armed only with his own misguided perception and a brush he attempted to catalog all that his senses revealed to him. Judging by his affect on the surrounding consciousnesses one could only catagorize his attempt as a failure. Undettered he struggled on and eventually was lost to the quest to rarely be glimpsed again by his original thought binder.

Mojo Risin'
Out past the forward observation station there occurred a most momentous event! It was witnessed by only three beings capable of consciously conveying the importance of the event, however in all cases the explanation of the happening fell upon deaf ears and unawakened minds so that the full meaning of the event would not be realized until many rotations had past.

Perception's Deception
I heeded not the advice from dead Mentor's book. Only the challenge remained. The appeal of new discovery. The associated giddiness of unevaluated conceptualization. It was in this moment that I found myself staring back at me from the most likely and often most ignored of places. I let none deter, for what could they know of me. What could any other tell me that I could not discover individually.

Superfluous Alchemy
Under direction from the EXTERIOR Purpose, our hero's calamity became more manifest as the ever expanding rotations continued. Without abate the bananas fell and all the wonderful consciousness of the ulterior motive underwent miraculous transformation into a resplendent manufacture. Those who witnessed the exotic activity were forever altered and could from that day forth perceive happenings in the 33rd Dimensional Vortex. And our hero? What little rationality remained was stored in a locked cardbox, buried in an undisclosed location, making it a long and arduous journey ahead.
