Today's sketch

Super Banjo Pig

I found this pig in a pile of sketches. I don't think I ever posted it so, here it goes. Captain Banjo, defending porcine pickers everywhere.

First post of 2012

Okay, I've been slacken' big time. I've made a goal to sketch more so hopefully that means you'll see a lot more stuff on the ole blog. If I'm not doing enough just let me know and I'll try harder. Here is today's doodle.

This was a demo for Will Terry's illustration class. All of his students are doing a Banjo Pig for an assignment. Awesome. Can't wait to see them all. They will be posted on the Banjo Pig Blog. Enjoy.

Batty Automaton

Here is my latest little project. I really needed to make a Halloween automaton and this is what I came up with. It's a very simple movement but because it is on such a long flimsy pole it is a heck of a lotta fun to watch. Even more fun in person. Enjoy.

Soggy Bottom Pig

I did this little banjo pig for illustrator David Weisner when he was in town doing a presentation. I drew it on one of those watercolor postcard pads of paper, then when it was all done I sent it to him as a thank you. I was his host for the few days that he was here, driving him around, showing him the sights...whatever. He is a really great guy and a fantastic artist. It was nice to get to know him. Anyway, enjoy the pig. I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I'm bad.

Stacy Curtis selling stuff

My buddy Stacy Curtis is finally selling one of his awesome little paintings. This one is an elephant riding a bicycle. Somebody should buy it before I do. If somebody buys it then maybe he'd be convinced to sell more of them. He really should. They're awesome.

Buy it on ebay.


I've been toying around with the idea of selling some original stuff too. Hmmm... what do you think, should I do it?
