Adam W.'s Art's Journal

New year resolution number 1 of 12:
Post my art in

thespus instead of

art_by_adam. I've considered combining the two for a while, and always ended up keeping two journals, but I just don't see any reason to separate my drawings from my other stuff. I'll probably still keep an art-only blog so that you can skip all the non-drawn stuff, but that'll be through my site. Keep an eye out. (I'll probably let you know through this LJ account.)

So here! Clicking will take you to the other journal. Happy new year!

A quickie from today.

Hagrid's got yer Quaffle, bitch.
More stuff. Doodles and whatnot. The lady you mighta seen stapled to the wall at my place. The pencil sketch of Hagrid was a prelim for the colored version, and I ended up loving the prelim and hating the colored one. I'm hoping that "Hagrid's got yer Quaffle, bitch!" will become the new overly-quoted catch phrase. Like the Rick James thing, or the cowbell thing. Only... for dorks like me who read Harry Potter.

( Hey! I found lots more drawings back here, behind the cut. )

This one's for a fishmonster

9 out of 10 cartoonists recommend this meme
I answered these questions in my personal journal, but then I thought, "Typing is hard for my people. Why waste all that hard work by only posting this once?"
( Cartooning meme. Skip it if you've read it. )

This is a walking robot.

Hanna-Barbera inspired. Drawn while watching my Top Cat DVD, naturally.

Bandaid
If I were a muppet, I'd probably look like this. I did this for a Muppet Self Portrait thread on the Drawing Board.

More comics. This stuff is better than the stuff you'll find in the newspaper.
Before there were comics digitally made awesomer, we in the field of dirty jokes used to do this stuff with white-out and a ball point pen. When I was in Portland almost a year ago(!) my sister, Alex's girlfriend Jennifer, (who lived with my sis at the time) and I made the first ever page of comics even better. I really can't believe it has taken me so long to put these up here.

( many more... ) Yeah, the pen-on-white-out scans cruddily.

Popped out the watercolors after using them to collect dust specimen for a long while. This is what came out.

Ignore that inbred tricycle thing. Dr. Seuss I ain't!

This was just a doodle with a brush. I don't think I did any pencil underneath. Can you tell? Yes. You can.

But I still think it turned out pretty well!

And that concludes a week of posts in art_by_adam, assuming this “queue” function worked, and my computer didn’t shut itself off when I wasn’t looking.

Munch, from Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee.
I really love that game. Oddworld is such a richly imaginative world that it makes me jealous that I never did anything like that. There's still time, though, I s'pose.

Just... I just... I don't even know.

Here's somethin'. I drew this guy at work. This is a recurring theme. For some reason I can doodle on the side while working and it'll turn out all right, but when I have time to sit and work on something I really want to do, (as was the case this weekend, as a 'fer-instance') it turns out crappily. Frustrating, but hey. Am I right? Hey indeed.

Here's a MONSTER!

RARGH!

Is someone feeling under-accomplished?
Sounds like somebody just had a birthday!

Not to be confused with GREEN lantern.
The other day I was wondering why I created a seperate LiveJournal account for my art, instead of simply posting in

thespus. Why post my art in a journal that fewer people read? Why not just do what most other people do and use my LJ for both art and ramblings? I don't know.

Or, I didn't know. I do now. It's to dissociate my real self from the wanker who draws things like this.

( the whole strip )

Lately, I've been quite taken with Metamorpho. Maybe Calamity Jon sneezed and I caught some airborne virus. Maybe it's the idea that Metamoropho can turn into absolutely anything he can imagine. Maybe it's just a man-crush. In any case, here are some work-doodles that I slapped some color on.

At the top's a thumbnail of a silly gag that's been bouncing around in my head. (God knows there's plenty of bouncing room up there.)( And just for fun... )
