Time To Be Jolly by Phil Noto

So here's my music piece. It's a bit random. I was listening to Bing Crosby's Time to Be Jolly, from 1971. Love the song and all I can ever picture when I hear it is Bing performing it on The Mike Douglas or Dinah Shore shows, which he probably did at some point. Anyway, here's my interpretation of what that might look like. If you aren't familiar with the song, check it out on iTunes. You'll see what I'm talking about :)

Some dangerous cuties..i think? by Andrew Robinson

well i've been out of town while the power was out in my area of LA due to that wind storm. but hey better late than never.

Shane Macgowan by Michael Oeming

okay, this is a bit of a cheat because I sketched this a bit back. Actually, it was at a drink and draw with Dave J and Dan P! But I colored it here as I wanted to make sure I got something done.
Long live the Pogues.
M!

[some]JAZZ/MUSIC by Urbanbarbarian

As the Urbanbarbarian, I knew I probably would get some flack if I went for "All That Jazz" but I figured I could get away with at least "some" Jazz.  That's acceptable, right?  Truth be told, I do like Jazz.  So there.

Robert Johnson/Music by Reverend Dave Johnson

Did this sometime last year in someones sketchbook. Took a shitty photo of it and added some photoshop loving to it just now for this blog. I'll still probably do a new one specifically for this blog later this week.

As a precursor to the 'music' theme this week - here's an SG guitar I painted up as part of the 'Gibson Guitar Town' auctions a few years ago...

DangerCute GINA CARANO by Urbanbarbarian

Who's cuter and more dangerous than MMA and movie star, Gina Carano?  I met her a while back on the set of American Gladiator and always wanted to try to capture that look in her eyes.  So, last night at Drink and Draw in DTLA, aided by some Jack Daniels, I gave it a shot. 

DangerCute by Reverend Dave Johnson

Well, I would say that she's cute and if you really think about it, she's only dangerous from behind. BTW, if you're wondering, her wing span is .45 cal. Thanks Amanda for picking a cool subject that lends itself to all sorts of results.

DANGER CUTE by Eric Canete

Yeah... I know.

Now I'm just overcompensating. Or wasting my time.

Or both.

not that cute, not that dangerous...by Mark Chiarello

...sorry Amanda, I tried.

DANGER..uhm..CUTE? by Eric Canete

I don't know why, but I could've sworn that this week's topic was 'Creepy Sweet'? Which would kind of explain why I drew a humanoid with a bunch of eyeballs on its head creepily hugging an innocent nude.

But the topic wasn't that at all, so..ugh. I'm sorry to Amanda for botching her/our first installment. I'll come back later with something that is more topic appropriate. Promise.


Blame Vegas, man.
