Monsters, Mayhem & Doom!*

Monsters, Mayhem & Doom!
Opening night is Saturday, June 27th, 2009 from 6pm to 10pm


Please join OhNo!Doom in welcoming Chicago artist Jason Chalker, aka Manly Art. Jason is an illustrator, graphic designer and was also an animator on Richard Linklater's feature film A Scanner Darkly.

Come see how Mr. Chalker transforms Oh No! Doom’s gallery into a precocious pulp paradise of monstrous, maniacal and all-new manly art.

You WILL have a good time and you WILL be manlier from the experience. Don’t worry ladies... you won’t be manlier, you’ll just have a greater appreciation of all things manly.

Oh No! Doom
2955 W. Lyndale
Chicago, IL 60647

Find us at the cross section of Sacramento and Lyndale St. We’re by the California Blue Line stop. Walk west down Lyndale.

*Sorry for the shameless self promotion, but hey, I gotta get the word out somehow.

Swamped!

I just wanted to leave a quick note saying I have been SWAMPED with projects and car issues all month. Thusly, no time for fun drawing. However, I think it would be great if we can all get back into this again!

New Topic: Gangster

This weeks topic is Gangster. Mobsters are allowed too... and any shady characters in general. :)

We've switched over to a 2 week span between topics so everyone will have a little more time to get their drawings done!

Bridget Bardot

Yes, my first thought was "French maid, oolala". I admit it. I thought I'd do a drawing of one of France's most famous, if not notorious, actresses instead.

France!

This weeks challenge is to draw something French. I think the Sketch Squad will be taking "stay-cations" to numerous countries this year. It might be a fun and unique way to see the world. Now, get to drawin'!

I was feeling a little goofy tonight, so I drew a squid in disguise. A squid who apparently has a flair for the vaudevillian.

Disguises!

This weeks theme is "Disguises". It's all about someone/something pretending to be someone/something else. Have fun and get to drawing!

Feepster Bunny



Wow, I haven't posted here in a long time. Thanks to Jason for kicking the ol' blog back into gear.

This isn't really a sketch, but it's a feep I just made and it fits a recent theme, so I thought I'd share.

Here's my Manly Art graffiti tag. I kind of like where it's going, so I'll probably clean it up and finish it. Any feedback is welcome.

WIP - GreekChuck

In this pottery shard, we can clearly see Chuck Norris beheading Medusa with his famous round-house kick. Chuck Norris is so tough he could stare Medusa in the eye and not turn to stone.
