Royce the Kitty

Here are updated pictures of Royce (aka Royce-a-roni). They were taken at the last WaPAA meeting. I was visiting family in Michigan this last weekend and apparently he drove my housemate crazy with his meowing. She said he pined for me all weekend. Which was really endearing to hear, and yet I felt guilty for leaving her with a crazy cat for four days. But he was glad to have me back because yesterday he was super cuddly and didn't let me get very far from his sight.

Ready for the Weekend

I made this several months ago after finding these dinosaur stickers that I totally forgot that I had. I love the juxtaposition of the dinosaur with the lyrics to definitely one of the worst songs ever written. But it makes for a funny image. Who knew velociraptors were so hip? This is without question a postmodern dinosaur.

Some new and some old stuff

Here is a load of images. Some new and some older. Its always interesting to go back and look at older sketchbooks. Sometimes I rediscover a note, a doodle, a quote or even a simple line that I really like. Other times I cringe at the really bad stuff.

This last image (also...) is the newest. It's still a work in progress. Not sure if I think it's done or if I am happy with the composition. But I do love the salamander and octopus.

Wax On, Wax Off

So I was going through some of my recent sketchbooks for images to post- proof that even though I am infrequent in my posts, that I am in fact still working. Or at least always doodling and sketching. Sometimes a doodle just makes me really happy- unplanned it just happens and then anytime I look at it I smile. This is one of those doodles.

The Many Faces of Royce the Spaceman

So it came to my attention a while back that I had yet to post any images of one of my characters that I actually draw most often - Royce the Spaceman. I can't quite recall when I first drew him, it was definitely a few years ago. I think he made his first appearance on a mixed cd that I made for my sister. But since then he has evolved. Here is a look at some of the earliest drawings I have saved and some that are more recent. Basically he looks the same now- boots and gloves, utility belt and helmet complete with antenna. Oh and some random buttons on his space suit. I also included for fun the drawing I did of mod Royce, skinny tie and all.
