Earth Day

on April 22, 2021 at 9:59 pm

Just a concept doodle for a Cherry Earth Day piece. The idea was that she’s sitting in the Earth, her ass is stuffed into the rich, moist, fertile soil; oh & she should have flowers all around her; oh, & it’s Earth Day, so there’s trees, & grass growing out of the dirt she’s in, & mushrooms of course. Great, now it looks like she’s sitting in a pile of shit. Oh, & animals, shit, has to be some animals, just throw some in, let’s see, stick a gorilla face in the bushes here, gotta have some birds in the trees, well then we need a roadrunner (Roadrunners are badass; they kill & eat rattlesnakes; they really are living dinosaurs). What is that, a squirrel, or just a cat? Oh, & gotta have an elephant, there’s enough space over there to stuff in an elephant’s face. Gotta have an invertebrate, spiders are this guy’s primal fear, but they’re actually our friends, so… aww, the web should be white, crap, this whiteout doesn’t go on very smoothly, probably should do the white digitally, oh, fuck that, it’s a cartoon. Playing around with, practicing digital coloring (can’t really call it painting), so it’s not finished off at all, it’s not a piece, just a study. So I put it off long enough that I missed my chance to do a stunning, inspiring masterpiece for the whole world on Earth Day. Sigh. Oh well.

Doesn’t feel right to say “Happy Earth Day”, should be more like “Do something good on Earth Day & happiness will ensue”. Right?

Easter

on April 5, 2021 at 9:26 pm

Yeah, well, I didn’t put anything up yesterday, on Easter, I do my drawing & stuff in a little space 6 miles from the house we’re living in & I usually take Sundays off & stay home, especially that Sunday, being Easter, not that we were celebrating a religious holiday, ’cause it’s not, of course, Easter was celebrated for thousands of years before there was a Christian church & somehow rabbits became associated with Ostara the Goddess of Spring the Bringer of Light, but it’s actually a hare which is different from a rabbit, cottontail bunnies are rabbits, jackrabbits are hares, which are often depicted in some old stories as tricksters, mischief makers, Bugs Bunny is a hare (he should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque). So the story goes that a little bird was left & forgotten by Ostara, almost died in the snow but Ostara finally returned & revived the little bird, who was so happy & grateful that it sang her praises all around, so Ostara for some reason turned it into a hare that could lay eggs, being still part bird, so it did that, laid eggs all around in the fresh grass that had just grown out of the now warm, well-lit ground. Then it split, leaving the children to discover the evidence of her passing through, so it must have been a she, it laid eggs, right? Guess they didn’t get fertilized; none of them ever hatch, do they? So is the Easter (not)Bunny immortal like Santa Claus, or do some of the eggs, the ones that don’t get found, hatch & bring forth a new generation like the New Year? Anyway, if jackrabbits are hares, then out here in the Wild West it must be the Easter Jackalope.

Space Station Cherry

on March 2, 2021 at 7:12 pm

5finity Productions (the folks who do Zombies vs Cheerleaders) is doing a couple of books of Cherry pinups done by artists other than myself, but I have to do the covers. Started out this one trying to do a Wally Wood style space ship interior with the big porthole window that’s now heart-shaped. His space ships were based on WWII bombers, so I thought I would update it a little, being as how there are actual space ships now, did the Google image search for the ISS, all these astronauts are sitting, OK, floating, around in shorts & T shirts, I’ve got Cherry in her space suit inside the station, so I took off her helmet & jetpack, let her hair loose. Wonder what she’s planning on doing with that monkey wrench. Someone else is doing the color, I’m still learning digital painting & I can’t run the current version of Adobe Photoshop (or any of the apps in Adobe Creative Cloud that I’m paying all this money for) on this Mac; it’s so old. Fuck Steve Jobs. Fuck Adobe.

Cherry & her pals. I know, it’s all white girls. It may get more inclusive; I’m working on it.
