I usually don’t post videos on my blog, but if you’re a fan of gay cartoons, you gotta check these out.

I used to be obsessed with a little cartoon series called Tiny Toon Adventures. A lot of my drawing style and humor is influenced by that show. There was a lot of adult humor in the cartoon– something that was very innovative at the time.
I used to draw the characters all the time. But as my drawing style changed, so did my renditions of the characters. Below, you’ll see something I recently dredged up from my folder of old stuffs. No, I never drew the Tiny Toons fucking, but when I finally realized how sexy I started drawing them was when I kinda stopped drawing them.
I did however draw VERY provocative versions of Gadget for money.
*EDIT 5-25-07: I’m taking down 3 of the illustrations until the issues of [2] hits stands.
So here’s the latest thing I’ve been working on: a group of illustrations to accompany a story about pirates in [2] magazine.
Basically, it’s about a beautiful blonde male model who is getting shots taken on a fake pirate ship in the Bermuda Triangle. But then, of course, lightning strikes, and the model is mystically transported back in time to a real pirate ship.
Of the four drawings, my favorite is the one with the group of pirates all ogling the pretty boy tied to the mast. I had fun designing the characters. My partner said I made the Black one look a little too insane– LOL. It’s the eyes. I definitely wanted them all to look crazed.
I’m also proud of how the captain came out. I was worried I’d have trouble making him appear as gruff as a pirate captain would be while still trying to make him as attractive as the story describes. Hopefully, it worked. I’d join this guy’s crew before Jack Sparrow’s any day! (Not to put down Johnny Depp, who will always be high on my list of doable Hollywood!)
For an added bonus, below, you can see the reference pic I took to visualize the group shot piece. A Street Fighter gangbang– wouldn’t that be hot?!
Here is a new piece for you guys. This one is entitled “Be Quiet,” so says Mr. Upper Management who just happens to catch Mr. Blonde Intern goofing off late one night at the office.
Where do I come up with them, you ask? Well, while I like to think I have a vivid imagination, the premise for this piece is actually an unused sketch for an older one. Remember Fantasy Fright? Well, here is one of the scenarios I almost ended up using. I am very archival about my work– even sketches, as you can see. One of my teachers in art school said this was a bad thing and that I should be more disposable with my work. I can’t be that way though. Especially since I believe I can NEVER draw the same thing twice. So I save every little morsel of art that I do.
I took that sketch and slightly redrew the guys. The boy at the computer is Richard, one of my generic characters whom I’ve used a couple times before. The older guy is made up.
Then, of course, I had to come up with some sorta new background. Since this wasn’t for any particular job, I wasn’t about to draw one. (JC no like drawing backgrounds.) I figured photo collage will work and did a search for offices. The pic below worked perfectly even though I had to tweak the hell outta the perspective to get it to match.
And then, to blend it all together, I finished up with my new ultra-dramatic coloring/lighting style. This has always been a secret fantasy of mine… workplace seduction. All I need is a hot coworker and the imagination starts a-flowin’. Good thing I don’t have a job– LOL.
Here’s what I’ve been working on for the past few days. It’s for Freshmen and it’s to accompany a story about two college roommates who share a bunk bed, but of course, end up porking each other.
And next is a sketch I did on a flight a few weeks ago. It was really annoying because there was this guy who was one of those “I-need-attention-so-I-talk-to-strangers” types, and he kept trying to peek over my shoulder and see the drawing and make conversation with me.
