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.

Hello all,
im a little late on this one but here is my bunny drawing...ha. What happens to a former star now falling and overwieght!....lol . Also to just introduce myself a bit more formerly...My name is Oscar Alatorre im a 27 year old Motion Designer from Chicago. I have a BFA from the Illinois Insitute of Art | chicago. I met Jason C. at work and currently work wiht him creating the future of the world to be held in the palm of our hands..........hmm.
With a history of art in the family i have always been interested in a lot of characters and illustration in general. I started to work on different teqniques in high school and college learning life drawing, fina art and all the great possibilites around them. Trained with a general knowledge in several Adobe and sound software to create animations, i have core studies in 3D Maya, and Aftereffects.
I am also part of the art collective OhNo!Doom creating innovative gallery shows for talented artists, designs, and toys; always looking forward to meeting fresh new artists and collaborating on ideas. As well as always refining my own teqniques and keeping the creative juices flowing, and any or all great advice/critiques.
Till the next post will be a much shorter....ha! Pease

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.

LOOK AT THE BONES!

Rabbits, however, that I can sketch easily. "BONES OF 450 MEN LIE STREWN ABOUT IT'S LAIR!! SO IF YOU DO DOUBT YOUR COURAGE OR VALOR, TURN BACK NOW, FOR DEATH AWAITS THEE.....WITH LONG SHARP POINTY TEETH."

Chuck Norris and the Sirens

Chuck Norris and the Sirens. Not my favorite theme ever. meh.

Catch Up!

Due to the lateness of this post, this weeks theme will be catch up. Feel free to do any of the weekly challenges you may have missed. I'll be back with a fresh challenge next week!

ClothesPin-Up

I'm trying to not ink any of these for the ASS Blog this time around. It's hard...so hard.

And no I can't stop noodleing.

Rabbit... Jessica, that is...

I took a page from Mr. Stovall's book and went the sexy route.

My kind of Rabbit

Slight update. I just had to noodle.

Walker: Texas Centaur

Just a little late. I actually thought this was a great theme Jason! And I double dog dare any more posts!

Myehhhh... What's up, doc?

Since Easter and spring are right around the corner, this weeks drawing topic is "rabbit(s)". Have fun!

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.
