A Peripatetic Pejorative

First to get the NSFW doodles out of the way. Prometheus kind of ruined phallic/vaginal monsters for me for a bit, so don't expect to see any more of these for a while.
After this, I tried working on a new-to-me method of comics, involving storyboarding ideas out on post-it notes. However, I found it much more rewarding to just do silly comics on the post-its themselves. We shall see what comes of this. Also included are an early large color exploration of the "fathead" character who keeps appearing in my post-its and a finished doodle of a character who didn't quite become anything, Pizza Dick. He's kind of a Ziggy Stardust Junkfood Jesus with the face of Richard Nixon and the voice of Tom Waits. Maybe someday.

Blocks not of the building, city, or poultry variety

Sort of a response to the whole "alien ninja turtles" buzz from a few months ago. Plus, and excuse to draw Moai. Scanner kind of cut it off, though.

A sketch that never quite came together of Frank Zappa as Hartter's "Crowhead" character. Maybe someday, Sean.

Thora Birch with single-digit hands. Not sure if want.

Some very judgmental giraffes

The final page of the current sketchbook

This new layout for posting is frustratingly absurd, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Just not at one in the morning. Also, hi! I've kind of been having a creative block lately, and short of a few giant things that I don't know how to properly scan, haven't had much to show off. The good news is I think the block's just about run it's course, so I should be back to posting somewhat regularly again soon.

Also, picked up some really choice art books, so I'll probably get around to sharing some favorite things from those sooner or later.

impasse (IM-pass), noun

So today is my dad's birthday. That has no bearing on the post, I just felt like sharing. Here are a couple of pages of the usual John K model sheet stuff.

 As you can tell by Frankie (of Eric Powell's awesome series, The Goon) and the other little doodles popping up here and there, getting a little burned out on model sheets. So as I'm powering on through the lessons, you'll see more of that stuff popping in and out.

 I am a fan of the Mountain Goats, and the line just felt appropriate here, I dunno

 This is based off a photo by a friend of mine, Daniel DeLuca, a rather talented photographer. This was a shoot for another friend who is an aspiring model and this doesn't do her justice by a longshot in my opinion. But she liked it, so it's going up.

I'm a big fan of superhero comics and the idea of superheroes in general, but I try to limit how much of it I draw because I feel like there's a certain style that goes with that genre and drawing too much of it can really be confining and no fun at all.  Manhunter here is one of those tragic characters who, although made incredibly interesting and deep by other media, has very lackluster comic exposure if any. There are a ton of characters like this, and if I feel inspired again I might do a few more. You all know how fickle I am. This take on J'onny-boy is based off those Easter Island heads, because I feel like that's such a perfect alien design and he's usually halfway there anyhow.
