King Trifasa

I just got back from a fabulous mini-vacation with my cousin, aunt and uncle. Whenever I hang out with my cousin fun always seems to ensue. This particular hang out session was no different. We tend to get a little, well, weird when we're together because we are, well, a little weird (some would argue that the "little" is more like "a lot") on our own. One night Carly asked me to draw a picture so I naturally drew her in the fetus position. She in turn drew a picture of her hermit crab (pictured below) as well as a few characters from a very...um...interesting story she typed while falling asleep. I especially like Lucy's serpent-like hair. It looks like that cobra's about to strike!
In response, I drew King Trifasa: a crossbreed between (you guessed it) The Lion King's Mufasa and The Little Mermaid's King Triton. Behold the result.

Summertime Shenanigans!

It has been quite a while since my last post and all I can do is plead the 5th on why I have been so behind in my doodling antics. Could it be that I no longer have class time to doodle in? Perhaps it's the fact that I get to be creative for the majority of every day that I work under the title of "Creative Intern". Whatever the case may be, I do admit to lagging behind on my own goal of creating a doodle a day (or close to it). To make up for that, I have a few things to post that I have been working on during my time of absence. The first is a book cover design that I have been given the wonderful opportunity to create this summer. For my first design I created a bunch of cartoons for the cover. Here's the tentative first cover design (that I have decided not to go with because of its children's-bookness) The chef is one of the cartoons I created. I think his name would probably be along the lines of Jean Pierre if he actually existed outside of my mind. I have also been working on a t-shirt design on Threadless. Check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think I can do to improve it! It's still in the critique stage so I would love to hear what I can do to make it the best it can be! Here's the link -->Thanks!
