character Design for ice cream book

Here are the two character in the story I wrote. What do you think? I want to keep it fun and whimsical.

For kicks and giggles.

Ok Well I be busy and have draw anything on my own in a really long time been mostly drawing for other people. But I want to start again. For kick and giggles I wrote a little story that I came up with one day while I was working. I get a lot of random ideas in my head and for once when I got house and after unpacking a little I wrote a story.

Called "Papa Herb’s Ice Cream Parlor." I going to illustrate it for fun!!!! Please let me know what you think.

Papa Herb’s ice cream parlor is a small quiet place with the kindest ice cream man there is.

One day a little boy came in with a coupon, which said, “get one free make your own ice Sunday.” The little boy handed Papa Herb the coupon and he said to the little boy ”well, well, well, aren’t you a lucky little boy.” You get to have what ever your little heart desires on your ice cream Sunday.

The little boy thought for a little bit and then told Papa Herb, “ I want the biggest ice cream Sunday you can make me!” Papa Herb started to laugh. He thought to himself how big could this Sunday really be? For kick and giggles Papa Herb got his biggest ice cream Sunday bowl he had.

“Are you ready to make your Sunday?” asked Papa Herd to the little boy. The little boy nodded his head and with a great big smile on his face he yelled, “ Yes, Sir!”

“Ok then let begin” said Papa Herb.

“I want Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla ice cream, also some Mint Chocolate Chip, Peppermint Stick, Rocky Road, Butter Pecan and Peanut Brittle. Some Peach, Blackberry, Moose Track and Sherbet ice cream,” the little boy said enthusiastically as Papa Herb ran around all over the ice cream parlor trying to keep up with the little boys demands.

I want hot fudge, hot caramel, butterscotch. Strawberry, and pineapple toppings as the boy toke a big breath before he continued. Sprinkles, snowcaps, gummy bears and gum drops, licorice and chocolate chips and also don’t forget whipped cream and five cherries if you please.

Papa Herb was tired exhausted from all of the running around but finally finished the biggest Sunday in town. The Sunday was so big that Papa Herb asked for help to carriy it to the table so the little boy could sit down.

Papa Herb went back to his counter as he watched the little boy to see if he could finish this creation. The little boy licked his lips and took a scoop full of ice cream from the very top, in which was his very first bit.

All of a the sudden some thing odd just happened the little boy got up from the table where he was sitting. Papa Herb was so confused. Did he forget an ice cream or a topping? He was so sure that is put five cherry on top what could it be?

As the little boy got to the counter Papa Herb started to panic.” Excuse me sir, Can I please have a box, I am stuffed?”

New paintings

Ok so I'm going to try and paint everyday, so I'm going to paint small paintings of fruits, vegtables, wine bottles, cupcakes, so on and so forth. hopfully one a day... we'll see!

This first one was done a little while ago but still recent. Vincent says they look like they are on trial... a cupcake trial!



This one was very recent, just some kiwi's. Duncan already posted it, but I figured I would as well. Thanks D! Gotta get back into painting a lot so I can get good and start selling work.

New Theme

Wow, Sketchables is alive?

Here's a new theme inspired by the new movie "Dark Knight". BATMAN.

I'll be working on the blog a bit, making it look nice, and once August comes around (just around the river bend) I'll be posting a lot more.

Painting @ the house

Jeremy and I are living together again for a month and we decided to re-arrange the house for producing as much art as we can before we move out.

Statement of Purpose

Been a while. So I've been doing some exercises lately that are meant to help one determine what they are meant to do with their life. After coming up with a singular statement that epitomized what my purpose is, I decided to use it as a subject for a design exercise. I wanted to see what I could do using a single font (in this case it's Avenir) and see how interesting I could make it with very few graphic flourishes. So this is what I did.


It's OK, pretty basic in my opinion, but there was no scheme I was working with, just figuring it out as I went. I'll be doing some graphic design proper soon though; I intend to buy a couple magazines and take a shot at doing some sample page redesigns.

Logo

Yo it me. My dad asked me to make a logo for him which haha anyone who know me I have no idea what I am doing when it come to text. but this it was I came up with so far.

FACES!!!!!

Computer head!

Here's other nonsense design I did.

















And here is a sample of how the crane will look like. :)

Crane for 2008!

This is a design I did for a screen print...it's going to be printed by my own frickin hand on a shirt...maybe a couple of shirts...who knows. But right now I am having a hard time doing, because I'm using photo emulsion method, and it's not turning out right for some reason. Ugh! Stupid!!

Happy 2008!!!

Happy Late Turkey Day!

It's the day after Turkey Day and I am retardedly tired! How was everyone's day off yesterday? Hopefully it was a good one. My family and I had prime rib roast instead of turkey because we were all sick of eating turkey (even though it's only once a year... or two - Xmas.... OR everyday at Disney just eating away the legs!) and my mom is out of town and won't be back till Monday. ... And I love how annoying it can get when Firefox tells you when you spell something wrong. But anyways, I think my grandma wanted to have a traditional Thanksgiving but my dad and I said screw turkey because turkey's turkey...~! So, the prime ribs were WAY better and delicious. YUM! =) Other than that, it was a durn quiet evening yesterday and at times felt really awkward. Don't know why, but this year, everything just seems more quieter than other years. Has anyone ever notice that or is it just me?

Anyways, I think I will end here as I am falling off my seat oh ever so slowly and eyes about to pull the curtain, and listening to really soft music mixed with bad ass traditional Japanese music doesn't help... Rin' ... Check them out. They are really good. :) ... I feel like I'm writing a letter or something... a blog! Holy cow I'm becoming one of them bloggers!!! Must end~!

Ps. I'd like to share this picture that I took with you guys... I don't know why, it just popped up in my head to post this picture. It's a shopping cart parking lot. LOL... Only in Asia~!

oh my gawd

Something based on the current theme! When does that ever happen??

This time it's a cowboy. He's not a sheriff, just a landowner tired of cattle rustlers and cow tippers? Hope y'all like it.

Another figure drawing

After a week of canceled sessions, I'm finally back on the horse (literally...) and drawing again. Yay.

Report advertisement

So I finally finished the illustration I'd been working on. I had thought of doing something fun with the cropping/format, something thin and tall perhaps, but I remembered that this is supposed to be a magazine advertisement. It's 8 1/2 x 11, which I'm not terribly sure are actually typical magazine dimensions, but it's a format that, if nothing else, presents similar challenges.

I'm also including a close-up, since the full image above doesn't do justice to the detailing on the boots. It was a lot of hard work doing the patterning and stitching, but I think it was worth it in the end.

this is MY fashion statement!
