GIRLS,GUNS & GUITARS!

Recent sketchies from last Sunday's Fourth of July Themed Dr.Sketchy's held in Anaheim,CA. Not alot here,didn't much like most of the sketches from the night, but that's o.k. I can turn those bad sketches into something else. I usually try not to make a major piece of art when drawing at Dr. Sketchy's. I like to use the time to practice my life drawing skills, hang with other artists and get some cool poses in to use for future works. So here we go!









And, like I mentioned, here's an example of taking a bad drawing from a night at Dr.Sketchies and turning it into something else(which is why I prefer to do my sketchies in black or blue pencil). A few nights ago I was thumbing thru a book on Men's Adventure Magazines and drew some inspiration onto a bad sketch,tweeking things further until I turned the model into The Black Widow and one of the guys from the book into Nick Fury,and ya get this-


Sketchbook shenanigans!!

Also I turned one of the models from a few weeks ago into a nurse. Well, tried to. She ended up looking more like a stewardess. Oh well!

I FEEL CREAMY!

I've been busy working on designs,plots, and comic pages for THE CRITTERWITCH,a new character I came up with a few months ago, so there hasn't been much work on anything else. I'm saving all of the sketchies and such for it til' I have some things finished before posting them. I want to have them all in one post.
So, til then, here be a few random sketchies from my sketchbook from the past few weeks. Enjoy!
(Once again, clicky on the pix to embiggen them!)

FLASHING BACK INTO MY PAN!

Last Sunday I got a blast from my past when I walked into The Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim,CA for the bi-weekly Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School session and saw this hanging on the model's backdrop-


It may be hard to tell from my crappy cellphone pic(and the weird dis-colorization at the bottom of it),but it's a sheet with Felix The Cat comics printed all over it. I used to have this sheet and it felt like I was walking into a time warp into my old bedroom back in Michigan. Brought back alot of memories. Heck, for all I know I may still have this sheet boxed up somewhere. Pretty cool.

Now-here's some sketchies from the night-

THE ART OF RAGZDANDELION

WHAT IS RAGZDANDELION?
My name is really David Hanson, but there's a million guys(and maybe a few girls) named David Hanson in the world. So I prefer to go as RAGZDANDELION. Or you can also call me RAGZ. It's my alter ego name, so when you Google it, I come up, not some other David Hanson that isn't me.
Maybe someday I'll fill ya in on why the name RAGZDANDELION.

WHAT TOOLS DO YOU USE?
My preference is traditional art tools such as Ink, Pen, Pencil, Watercolors, Acrylics and Guoache. Also play around with oils, clay, super sculpty and whatever else I can get my hands on. I also like to use digital tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Painter & Google Sketch up. I've also dabbled in Maya, Z-Brush & Flash, but truthfully, Maya frustrates me to know end.

DO YOU HAVE A WEBSITE?
Other than this here DeviantArt page , you can also check out my art blog at [link] and my portfolio site at [link]

WHAT IS YOUR ARTISTIC MISSION?
I want to create comics, characters & images that become iconic. Or just to give you thrills, chills and little tinglies. I'm working on trying to get my artwork into galleries, publications, comics and anywhere I can. My main goal in life is to make a living by drawing Monsters and Sexy Girls. That sounds like a blast to me!
