Red Sketchbook (page 29)

Well, friend, this is the last of the Red Sketchbook. No more. But, don't you fear, someday I will get another one and make more fun sketches like this. Anyway, this was a little different from my other pages... can you see what is different? I hope so. I decided to put the gray tone markers away for a day and try water color out on this book. The paper was strong enough to take all the paint's abuse (which was a lot) and here is the end result.

Stay tuned now for the next set of sketchbooks.

Oh, and as an added bonus, here is a comic of my life.

Red Sketchbook (pages 27 - 28)

Uh-oh! We are nearing the end of the red skechbook series! Well, don't be too afraid, I have more sketchbooks and art to submit after this. But, before you begin fearing the end of this book, take time to enjoy these last few pages. Can you spot where my pen ran out and I got a new one.

Red Sketchbook (pages 25 - 26)

How many times have you been told to "go crush it!"? None? Never? ....Really? Wow- if I had to guess I have been told to do so at least 30 times. At least. Hmmm, it must be a local thing. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying all the sketchbook updates. Don't be afraid to follow my blog and read it on one of your favorite RSS readers!

Red Sketchbook (pages 23 - 24)

One of the first times I wrote "Yum Me" for something. My, how its been a while! Also you can see one of the sillier drawings I used to make in college of a hand turkey eating ice cream. I think this is where all of my ice cream drawings stemmed from. Maybe?

Red Sketchbook (pages 21 - 22)

MORE RED SKETCHBOOK! Here are pages 21 and 22. These are a bit old as you can see by the "I live in the ocean" comment which meant that I lived in the Sunset near the ocean. Not too much fun out there. Also, there is an early form of on of my overly-drawn characters. Originally, he was designed to have an eye patch and cross bones on his chest but, over the years, he has lost both.

Red Sketchbook

Well, much like yesterday, I have found some free time to scan/edit/upload some old artwork. Here are some more scans from my red sketchbook from 2008-2009ish. I scanned and posted the first 18 pages about a year or so ago on tonypapesh.com. After a long break, I have decided it was time to post to thrilling conclusion to the book! Here is the cover (nothing special, but I feel it gives a mental image of the actual book) as well as the next few pages.

Expect more soon!

Another day in the sun.

Here is a collection of drawings made on a sunny day in a San Francisco park. (September 26, 2010). I scanned the entire book and this is only a small sampling. The rest can be seen on my flickr page. Enjoy!

Japan and back.

Well, it is not new-news anymore, but I recently went to Japan back in April. There is so much to see that I only managed to see Tokyo.... and a very small part of it, I might add. Taking the train from station to station, it seems like the city never ends and 10 days of exploring is barely enough to scratch the surface. Anyhow, this is one of the first photos taken when we saw land and I thought it turned out kind of neat so, here you go!

Besides the many adventures I had overseas, I have been keeping busy with making new art for an upcoming art show as well as trying to upload some new artwork through the internet. Right now, I have some paintings from late 2009 posted on my site and, hopefully, I will have more new work to show the world.

So, go check out TonyPapesh.com and see what's new.

Old art for your fresh faces.

Here's an old piece I found just waiting to be posted! This is from a batch of pieces I made in a night, attempting to make 20 drawings in a few hours. Sadly, I only got to 15. This is only number 4 of the 15.

Where, oh, where have you been?

Hey there everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates for the past--- 6 months? I have been very busy being productive these past few months and I think I need to show my blog some love.

The past few months, I have been busy with putting my art in some local gallery shows, buying toys for the holidays and working on animations for Golden Grahams (http://goldengrant.com/) with my buddy Adama Avilla (http://adamavilla.com/).

Well, now that you are caught up, I thought I would share some short-term-future plans. I need to update a few things, mainly my site and this here blog. I am not planning much of an overhaul, just a bit of an update of some graphics (photos/type/possibly color schemes?). Also I want to start up an inspiration blog to house all the collective goodies I have find.

With that said, I hope to update this blog soon with some new content.

Slacking Off

Floating.

Right now, I kind of feel like I am floating through things. Which isn't really working.

(sorry for the lack of updates.)

Toxic Bride

Clean up crew.

Pac-Mania

Believe it or not, I made this JUST so I could update my blog today. A quick doodle - in fact, I recycled a background from an old piece (Shh! Don't tell anyone!).

Goodbye, Mushroom Kindgom!

The original drawing. The photoshop version is on my DA.

Smiley Smile.

The Grump.

Meet the Grump.


I have been so busy lately that I have no time to draw anymore (a shame, yes, I know). I somehow managed to find some free time to scribble this piece. I wasn't too happy with the coloring so I figured it would be a great piece to salvage/destroy in photoshop. I had fun doing it and thought I would share it with you.

:)

Electric Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
