SCAAAARY ZOO SKETCHES!

Here are some zoo sketches from yesterday and today. Because I'm primarily a pencil man I've noticed all my previous sketches are fading and smudging so along with today's pencil page I experimented with some pen sketches on another page. Those...didn't turn out so hot.

more zoo again?

Went to the zoo again today. More Rhino's and a Sicilian donkey named Sofia. I also did some scribbles of a baby giraffe, a gorilla and another of Blacky the brown bear on the facing page of this page but they aren't so good. Maybe I'll fix them later.

*fixed* sorta

Todays Zoo

Here's today's zoo scribbles. There's room below each page still for more scribbles but...meh.

I shall Smash your skull like a clam on my Tummy!

Above are more Zoo scribbles from today.

Every time I see the otters at the zoo I always think of that episode of South Park where otters in the future can talk. I still haven't gotten them down though. They sorta look like Pokemon or something.

Apparently for the Gorillas it was "pick your butt and lick your fingers clean day" because all of them were doing it. I couldn't stand to draw them for too long. It kinda makes you wish that the creationists of your childhood really did have all the answers.

SCIENCE DAMN YOU!

Is this a art blog? Maybe a zoo sketch blog.

Nope, no paintings. At least nothing worth blogging about.

I got some zoo scribbles though. I'm not too proud of some of them especially the snow leopard in August and the Clawless Otter of last week. I didn't give the little critter justice but I'll try to do better next time.

Go see this movie!

I hesitated to go out and watch this movie opening day due to my poverty and nearly insurmountable pile of art deadlines but today I said F-ck it. I'm an American and Americans spend fliff like sultans and I plan to do my part so hang those who talk of less!

So I went to today's matinee and WOW, just freakin' WOW! Man, did I not waste my money. This movie is a big bowl of Kick-Ass with extra Awesome sauce poured all over it. This movie has practically everything in it. It has Drama, it has comedy and believe it or not it has flawed but interesting characters doing compelling things that actually make you WANT to care for what's going to happen next in the story. It has action, killer robots, gore, copious amounts of violence but with just enough story and social commentary to be neither overtly preachy & pretentious or be a mindless airhead experience. Congratulations to new film director Neil Blomkamp for hitting one right out the park on his first swing. I can't wait to see more great stuff from this director in the future. WOW, just freakin' WOW!

Yo Joe!

I haven't seen the new G.I. Joe movie but after seeing this Epic parody with an even better all-star cast I'll probably never need to.
