RECENT DOODLES AND SKETCHES 7-10

I haven't been working on any big art projects lately but I'm usually doodling one thing or another so I thought I'd share some of the little stuff.

I was messing around with a lot of 80s characters and drawing up these little sketches to put in an 80sville type of small town that I had drawn up. I figured I'd just draw the town first and just plant them in later with photoshop but I ended up finding out a little too late that I added too much detail and the characters didn't look good shrunk-down and squeezed into the streets and windows.

The drawings are still pretty fun though by themselves.



Starting from top left and working our way down we have Monchichi the thumb/banana sucking fuzzy monkey. I was thinking it might be funny to have him sticking his thumb in another monchichi's butt. (childish but funny).
There is vomiting Odie or "Grodie". The gag is supposed to be a long gush of puke instead of the tongue.
A "Poochie" dog ripping apart a Cabbage Patch Kid.
Q-Bert and PacMan, a couple Smurfs and Strawberry Deathcake? A goth version that smells like clove cigarettes?





Care Bears bearing 80s logos I planned on scattering around town (too small to see the logos on their bellies).



Alphie II the reading robot helping kids learn to spell "FART" and other various 4-letter words.
More Strawberry Deathcake ideas with little pets and names like "Moonberry Gloom" smelling like formaldehyde.
Charlie Brown who was supposed to be exiting a building shaped like the Snoopy Sno-cone maker from the early 80s.
Garfield, Gloworms, Q-Bert, and Fisher Price Little People (rabid dog that bit little boy).



HeMan VS the Shirttales



A few Tomy robot sketches



Snoopy sitting on his shithouse



Cabbage Patch Kids "Koosas" the animal versions that were supposed to be pets.



Rainbow Not-So Brite picking on star sprites.

Here's another random drawing I did on the back of an old book.



And a couple of recent Garbage Pail Kids drawings (Shown with the original cards).













That's all for now.

SPRING GARAGE SALE HUNTING 2010 week 2

A decent weekend of garage sales with great spring weather. A lot of small toys to dig through. I was hoping to find certain things, but as usual I tend to come across a bunch of unexpected junk I didn't expect to find.
I couldn't believe the amount of Smurf and Garfield collectibles I kept running into? They kept popping up at one garage sale after the next. It was strange. I went to this one garage sale in an upper-class neighborhood with a lot of electronics and higher-priced furniture where there was nothing antique or old whatsoever, and on my way back to my van I see sitting on one of the tables a Smurf toy bus. Totally out of place. Bizarre.
Anyway here's some photos of the stuff I bought:



Wax koala from a zoo, Brainy smurf action figure, Twizzlers wind-up lips, Alvin and the Chipmunks wind-up Simon.



Sesame Street Telly and female Snufflupacus pvcs, 2 Garfield pvcs, and a Get-Along Gang pvc.



Tomy wind-up skiing bear, Snagglepuss fast-food toy, Garfield and Odie die-casts.



Mighty mouse fast-food suction toy, Smokey the bear figure, alligator cereal prize, Pokey the horse figure, and a weird goblin rubber bookmark clip.



Set of Disney pullback vehicles (fast-food toys)



McDonalds pull-back vehicles



Some lady convinced me to buy these Flintstones lunch bags from 1980 (10 cents).



Miss Piggy 1981 calendar. Each month has her on the cover of popular magazines. The middle is a mock Playboy centerfold.









Maybe I'll find some better stuff next weekend?
