beards and bosch

Sorry about the lack of updates once again, I've been working on some really cool and top secret projects that I hope I can share sometime soon. Until then, enjoy more sketchbook pages. More sweat and stubble, and body hair, yuck.
I really enjoy drawing ugly and weird people (big surprise, right?). The old guy on the top part of the right page was inspired by a particularly unpleasant fellow I saw giving someone hell at a grocery store.


On the left page I was inspired by some Hieronymus Bosch characters. Seriously, that guy had an imagination the likes of which this world has never seen before or since. I was also in the mood to draw weird facial hair on the right page, the handlebar moustache is a fashion trend I feel is far overdue in its return. Thanks for lookin' folks!

Oh man, there are too many great doodles here for me to comment on each of them individually...so let me just say that I love 'em all.

You have a twisted creative mind sir (and I mean that in a good way).

Hey R.Dress, thanks a lot man!

Thanks Vincent! I think pretty much any cartoonist that picked up a pencil after Ren and Stimpy came out has been influenced to some degree, count me in among them!

Thanks Jason! Although I feel my mind is twisted to a certain degree, after looking at some of your doodles I feel your mind may twist a little further ;)

Hey Jocomic, thanks man! I really dig your comics also!

Hey Bob, yeah I've been a Bosch fan forever. He never ceases to provide a ton of inspiration, the hooded dude is straight out of one of his paintings. Thanks for the comment!

Hey polaco, thanks for stopping by and for the nice words! I've been checking out all of your artwork on your blog and it's INSANE AND AWESOME!!
