Come get a taste of the ANIMAL NATION!

What's up Nerds, you're resident Badass has a special inside look at my comic book "PINK & NANOOK" for you! 

So what is Pink & Nanook all about?

Pink & Nanook (or Nani to her friends) are teenage anthropomorphic beings, 5th generation mutants in our human world. Anthro's have been growing in population rapidly and some have been adapting to our society while others have been banding together on their own in a quest for equality and freedom. Mankind is unsure what, when and why the anthro's are here. But they are, and they don't seem to be getting any fewer. 

So just add all that on top of being a freak of nature, teenage hormones, cultural hang-ups and every other curveball that life can throw you and being torn inside by the desire to embrace your natural animal desires or follow the laws of man.  Pink & Nani just want live, love and enjoy life. Good luck girls. There gonna need it.

Shawny's back in action with the Rocketeer! (WIP)

Hello! It's Shawny. I know, I have been missing on the blog for a couple of weeks thanks to my summer job and computer woes. But I'm back and I come with goodies!

For this weeks challenge I did a sketchbook illustration that will eventually go into Illustrator. I wanted to show the rough sketch before cleaning it up and turning it into vector. Since I'm trying to draw more dudes, drawing the Rocketeer was perfect. But of course I had to add a pretty lady!

Close up!

This weekend I'll probably finish it completely and share it with next week's challenge!

Also, just to play catch up, I'll  be posting some of the other challenges I missed, right after the most recent weekly challenge till I'm all caught up!

Hi! I'm Ashley. Ms. Ribblett if yer nasty.

the damn artist herself

So! Let's keep this short and sweet and so we can get to the weird pictures I draw.

I'm Ashley, a 29yr old illustrator living in Lakewood. I sling coffee by day and do my dirty drawings at night.
I've done lots of different kinds of illustrations over the years (most recently illustrating my first ever comic for Graham Cracker Comics in Chicago!)  but as of late I've found a comfortable niche drawing pinups.

If I'm drawing traditionally my weapons of choice are pencil, ink, marker or watercolor. I don't do much vector work so most of my digital illustration is done by way of tablet in my favorite program Paint Tool Sai and edited in Photoshop.

I also co-run the Cleveland Chapter of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, an alternative style (think cabaret) life drawing group that meets once a month. If you're in the Cleveland area and are in the need to draw some curvy swervy dames, look us up!

Intro Post! Mark Laubenthal, Illustrator & Super Nerd

Hi all, Mark here.
Today's post is a quick "about me" and showcases some of my art!

I'm a digital illustrator who works in vector art, and I pay the bills by working freelance on children's products like coloring books, stickers and craft kits.  I also work on game-app projects occasionally as well.  The main thing I am known for in my work is my use of cute, quirky characters and a childlike sense of wonder.  I consider myself someone who really understands the concept of "cute" very well, and as such, my work is also often characterized by a "toy-like" feel.

As far as my personality/personal interests go, I'm a proud nerd, a hopeless romantic, a lover of all things cute, obsessed with toys and toy design, a huge fan of pop culture, and to top it all off, I also love to bake (almost exclusively cookies, because COOKIES).  I'm also super inspired by animals.

Here are a few of my pieces:

Spotlight Henry Pope III 

Former Marine, Freelance Illustrator, Comic Artist, Graphic Designer. 

Badass, Nice Guy. 

Oh boy where do I begin...I have been drawing steady ever since like 2nd grade, I have always loved to draw, loved comics, comic strips, comic characters, cartoons. It's truly one of my first loves. Next to the Ford Mustang and women. 

It all started with Peanuts and Garfield, then Heathcliff and everything Warner Bros. Then it was TMNT (go figure) Bucky O'hare, Usagi Yojimbo, tons of Anime, then it was Marvel Comics, Spider-Man and the Avengers, artists like Todd Mcfarlane, Jim Lee, Erik Larsen, lesser known independent artists like Ben Dunn's Ninja High School, James O'Barr's The Crow and of course Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all creating their own characters and comic book companies inspire me each day to push and work hard to be of that same level, the same success!

I write and illustrate my own webcomic "Pink & Nanook" its a story about two teenage girls who are going to go on a great adventure with each other and become amazing friends for life. Yeah I know it sounds kind of odd for on old marine to be writing and drawing a kinda girly comic book, but I really believe in the story and characters as they have been evolving along with me since I first came up with the idea in 2011. Here is a taste of Pink & Nanook.

So that's the dream, to get to the point where I am publishing and selling my own comics regularly. The day gig is all about looking for a gig. Working as a freelance illustrator, I have to constantly hustle to find jobs, create sales opportunities and foster, grow relationships that are crucial to not only the growth of my business, but myself as person. I place the value of having good people in my life first and foremost and well I do believe I found some in these Scribble Nerds. 

If you would like to see more of my work, or wish to hire me for any commissions or any other creative business needs please contact me as soon as possible! My prices are very reasonable and I am always available!
