thanks and stuff...

Thank you for all the Birthday comments! I should have invited you all over for birthday cake. hmm... there's always next year. Oh! and I have great news on the car wreck! The officer found the dumbass driver responsible for the wreck. Yay! Whoo-hoo! I feel great because when we got into the accident she made this huge deal like it was all my fault. She was such a drama queen about it. ha ha! Sweet Victory!

on with the art

I'm obsessed with Raquel Welch. Here's proof. I'm sure you'll see more drawings of her in the future. I recently came across a goldmine of her photos.

Your pal,
Shawn

UrbanBarbarian said...

Ha! Sweet, sweet Raquel...

Love that middle page on the colored paper! Is that Madonna with the Sunglasses? Do tell.

arvindh said...

Belated B'day wishes! Great sketches here! Loved your Raquel caricature,

MT said...

Nice raquel, you really got her in the eyes. I use to have the biggest crush on welch and jane fonda. It might have something to do with the character outfits they had, i dunno.

She looks amazing.

FrogDaddy said...

wow that's a stellar Welch! I was still a wee tadpole
when she was that goodlooking, but I remember seeing her once as a young'un and feeling weird
in my nether regions! Is that Phil Leotardo-Mongoloido-Quasimoto from the "Sopranos" at the bottom? Great Batch as always...

Kristen,

I wish I was as good of an artist as you. I wish I could date WELCH in 1965. I wish Frogdaddy's profile pic didnt give me the heebeegeebees.

Tata,
Grant

Speaking of tatas...I am planning on drawing some nice ones this week.

Andrew said...

Ha ha ha! "Let's Have Sex"...that's great. I also love that Raquel Welch! Not that there's anything unsatisfactory in this whole batch.

UrbanBarbarian: Thanks UB! I do love to draw on that color paper. You're right, she does look like Madonna!

ELiza Jäppinen said...

Great image of Raquel Welch you created. I kove it.

jesusalonsoiglesias said...

lovely women. all of them even the ugly ones.
i like very much drawing women but actually i have to spend mi time on not such interesting subjects. anyway, great work!!

DdK said...

uh huh, yup, that'll do, that'll do just fine.

Neneuche said...

I think you give your drawings so much personality that each one has thier own little back-story.
Like that fat girl loves chocolat and eats it all day, no matter what. And that old lady used to be ma rich man's mistress.
I'm insane but it's fun in my head.

miles said...

dude

nice raquel there baby! i like the neck gear she has on in that pic - HEAVY!

i really like your color use - enough to make your stuff really come off the page and breath and turn - such great and woggled lines that make for peculiar and interesting shapes - MORE!

Lots of really great work on here, you've got a great style.

Some guy with a pen said...

you are just so incredibly Super Rad, even more so than the Aquabats song. It is incredibly mind-blowing how not only talented and incredibly well-drawn you are and can be, but also how nice you are. Dammit, you made me want to start my own blog now! Amazing, beautiful both inside and out! Thanks for your blog and letting us see your artwork!

Hi there!

I like the idea of basing a sketch on a photo, and then letting your personal style affect it through the pen, really great! I think that's the way real artists work, it's not a shortcut skipping the "divine inspiration", it's a craft, isn't it?

I've just started a sketch-blog myself, it's at www.stuffbymarkus.blogspot.com. Check it out!

Thierry martin said...

wow, vraiment très expressif comme trait, j'adore.
