WIP- Manly Art Graffiti Tag, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

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


WIP - GreekChuck, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

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.

Howdy All.

Hi there. Introductions ay? Coolness-ness! My name is Jordan, I am an OhNo!Doom-er like some other folk joining the Squad. I am an avid doodler with a graphic design background. I have a sincere admiration for big ideas, un-ordinary art urban art and art toys too.I consider myself lucky to be surrounded by talented people every day, and now even more so with you 'ASS' people! (Austin Sketch Squad FYI). Nice ta' meetchya and I am elated to share some ideas with everyone in the near future. Cheers!

Oh! Hello Friends

Hey Kid-O's! My name is Andrew Thompson im 26, Designer from Chicago. I actually work with Jason which is how I recently came involved with this blog. I have a BFA in Graphic Design & went to the Illinois Institute of Art (not that fancy Art Institute, im not made of $$ haha).

Well I have no formal background in illustration or any other arts. When I started college I put down my pencil & picked up a mouse for about 3 years. I came back to pencil & paper a little rusty but with a fresh new approach. The Street Art scene in Chicago suited me quiet well & this is where I began putting my work out there & getting noticed.

Honestly im pretty fresh to all this. I am constantly reworking & developing my style. Over the last few year's, I have contributed to many show's in and around chicago's low brow & designer toy scene. I have had a personal show, Group OhNo!Doom shows & recently done some work for a Burger King Pilot program.

Last id like to say that im open to any & all comments you have anything I post. I would love any feedback on how I can do something better. Please don't hesitate to say something.

Until the next post enjoy a few recent sketches & a customized Lui toy!

Introduce yerself

I'm just now getting around to last week's topic. I'm Kristin Hogan, I'm originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2001 - double major Sequential Art & Video/Film. I work at a fantastic place called Blue Genie Art Industries. I also independently publish a book called Dead Squirrel Girl, and just released my second graphic novel. Here is the cover:

It's all Greek to me...

Chuck Norris + Greek Mythology = AWESOME!!!!

In honor of Chuck Norris turning 69 yesterday, this weeks challenge is placing Chuck Norris into Greek mythology. What would it have been like if Chuck Norris had taken on the Hydra, or the Titans? Who needs Greek fire in a battle when Chuck Norris's rage can ignite things (or people) and make them burn forever? Any way, you get the point. Get to drawing!

For inspiration on Chuck Norris's awesomeness... Chuck Norris Facts.

Alright, I guess I'll get this ball rolling...
My name is Jason Paul Chalker. I'm 40 years old and am currently an interactive designer in the Consumer Experience Design group of Motorola's handset division in Chicago. While there are a lot of art styles I enjoy, my favorites to work in are pulp/pin-up and sci-fi. I have a MFA in Illustration from SCAD and and have had art jobs ranging from t-shirt design to working on an animated feature film. It's been an interesting life in art and it just keeps getting more so.

You can check out more of my art in these places...

Free for All...

This weeks challenge is an easy one. A lot of us are going to be at Staple! this weekend, so we probably won't have a whole lot of time to draw something new. Post any piece you want, and tell us a little about yourself. If you have a website, or Flickr account or something, post a link and let us see your work. I thought it might be nice for everyone to get to know each others art a little.

ON!D Graff

Sorry for the delay on the post, its been a hassle filled day.
First "tag" in a while. Thanks for including us in this fun weekly exercise. I lok forward to the next one.

Graff

Hey All, This is my first post. Thanks Jason for inviting us to join. There are some really great doodlers on here & ive been following this for the last few weeks. Im looking forward to checking out everyone's work, feedback & hopefully becoming a better illustrator.

Well here's my little Graff inspired sketch! Enjoy - Andrew


Come join the Austin Sketch Squad this weekend for some live drawing @ RED7, 611 e. 7th ST. Austin, TX
