The Undertaker And Humpty Dumpty, 'Recalibrated'












Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Well, not here. In Huck Finn's Recalibrated Fantastic Adventures the result of the great fall becomes "the character whitin". (BTW: Originally, I wanted this to take part in the Toby Skybuckle story, but soon it became a stand-alone thing because of its complexity)
Boy, do I post too much? I think I post too much.

Huckleberry Finn (a bit different), Post No. 100!

Update: Did I said Mark Twain meets Lewis Carroll? I've to add Clive Barker, I guess. At least because of this hare. He is a sort of integrated or mutated version of The White Hare and The March Hare in Huck Finn's recalibrated fantastic adventures:



And here are the previously posted pieces:





Mark Twain meets Lewis Carroll or so. (I did this sheet while I was working on the stage design of a Tom Sawyer musical production, some time ago. Since then, I'm loosely working on the plot and some early designs whenever it's possible)

Bogey Bones, Freestyle Boarder

Update: This is a mere acquaintance of Mr. Bones, Bogey Tyndale. He is a bit slow on the uptake, but that is mainly because he's scatterbrained in the best possible sense.




And the Honorable Mr. B. Bones himself:



I like the background. Praise the Impressionist. (James, I'm using Photoshop and the Impressionist plug-in for the painting look.)

For Ryan Wood: The Drawing Machine




So, I'm back to the drawing desk. I dedicate this piece to my fellow comrade-at-pencils, the fabulous Ryan Wood. (Thanks, Ryan)

By the by, this thing was inspired by Nic Ramage's Drawing Machine:

Desk

Update: This one is for Derek.



A mere scribble... (titled "Gangster, forever")

Coat of Arms


(Above) The coat of arms of the Dukes of Steiermark (the Austrian state where I'm from) and my very own understanding / interpretation of it. I made this some time ago. Four years?

(Below) Update: And while I am at it, here is another older piece (I showed this twerp a good number of months ago, but he deserves a 2nd work in progress "shot", don't he?):

Icelandic Sportfisher

*UPDATED (WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2007)

Update: Another blade out of my Iceland sketch block:






And this is the previously posted Icelandic sportfisher vehicle:







I swear I saw this josser near Borgarnes. Good job I had my pencil camera with me otherwise you wouldn't believe me.

Teikniblokkin









In Iceland (where I was on vacation), they have really nice designed sketch block covers, haven't they? And it was fun drawing in it...

The Scared Ogre





This poor wretch was scared by Andrew. I'll show how Andrew looks after my vacation. By the by, I uploaded a short and, unfortunately, unsharp pre-sketch movie onto YouTube:




So, that will do now! Happy Holidays!

Rifle Marksbird







Another retro futurism blade.

I'm heading for vacation next week. I wish you all a happy Summertime and many thanks for your wonderful comments on my work. I appreciate that very, very much.

Phineas Cat & Cat Porter

*UPDATED





It is incontestable that he is a wonderful Hammond organ player, but he has a problem with authority figures.

Update: This is (below) Phineas' co-cat, the wondrous conductor, Cat Porter. In his hometown, his name is a byword for surreal incompetence.

Red-Nosed Dragons







This is for a New Yorker cosmetics company and their new product for kids. I'll tell what it is, later. For now, I hope that those two green boys will do well at the trade show.
