Austin Sketch Squad

I'm Here

2011-07-25T18:50:00.002-06:00

I know this blog is kind of inactive, but I thought it would be a good way to let everyone know I'm in town in case we would want to have a live ASS meeting. If you want to get together to eat, drink or draw drop me a line at mike@stovepipe.net.

I'm here until Thursday, July 28 2011 (I head back to Houston that evening).

Thanks,jms

Hellboy Bust

2010-08-23T19:53:00.004-06:00

Technically, MR. HELLBOY covers the last two topics.

See the orginal drawing. I think it lost something in the color version.

(Most notably the suggestion of a cowboy hat I toyed with putting on him.)

Liz andHB out on the town...

2010-08-18T07:12:00.002-06:00

Not sure where this came from... just strange. A little late but hey I had to finish. Better late than... yea whatever.

Hot!

2010-08-17T09:51:00.000-06:00

This fortnight's challenge is "Hot!". With all the 100˚+ weather we've been having, it seems appropriate.

My entry for this weeks Austin Sketch Squad challenge Red Right Hand. Anything from the world of Hellboy. I wanted to do more, but I've been busy as hell launching my Major Maddox comic and getting ready for Wizard World Chicago.

Red Right Hand...

2010-08-03T10:05:00.000-06:00

This (2) weeks challenge is anything from the world of Hellboy. There should be a little something for everyone in this theme. Get to drawin'!

the 'guin

2010-08-03T07:05:00.003-06:00

Well, this is the first drawing I have done in over a month. Toph...yer penguin would totally kick my guins tail! Great looking stuff guys!

The Penguin

Joker 1.0
This is "sad clown" Joker, and while I've worked some things out—I like the outfit—this is not my final version.

I like my Batman in cloth, throwback to his early detective days.

Get to drawing old chums!

Hot Rod + Lobster Johnson

2010-07-18T20:55:00.002-06:00

Well I think I barely squeezed this one in before the new topic. Anyway I'm kind of obsessed with Lobster Johnson again especially since I just read "The Satan Factory" novel. I really wanted to have the second sketch but I also wanted to show the hot rod more so I made the executive decision to show both in a comic type format.

2010-07-14T21:17:00.001-06:00

Ok ok, here ya go. Abduction.

Pon Farr Flyer

Here's my sketch for the week.

It's been seven years since the Evil Mr. Spock got his freak on and he's cruisin' the alternate universe for Vulcan honeys in the Pon Farr Flyer. With a whip like that, the ladies don't stand a chance.

Hot Rod Dog

Holy Hotrods Batman!

2010-07-08T20:46:00.000-06:00

This weeks (week-and-a-half actually) theme is "Hotrod". It can be a suped-up anything. Get your pencils out and let's see what you got!

Combo Supreme Please!

2010-05-04T04:51:00.003-06:00

Okay some may consider this cheating, but in the interest of catching up here is my "Disguised, Gangster, Robot, That Came from Outer Space."

2010-02-09T09:26:00.000-06:00

Woohoo! We're picking up a little steam! So, for this weeks topic, we're going with "It Came From Outer Space!". Now, get to drawin'!

After Jason's post, I had to jump in, even if this isn't a strictly new-new piece.

This is not ANY pimp bot. This is Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet, king of all 50's robots—and in my book—top of the heap of all robots.

Tobias VS AI Bot

2010-02-05T09:14:00.004-06:00

This weeks theme: Robot. Show me what you've got!

Monsters, Mayhem & Doom!*

2009-06-20T21:37:00.002-06:00

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.

For more info... info@ohnodoom.com

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

Swamped!

2009-05-29T09:42:00.001-06:00

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

2009-04-29T14:27:00.003-06:00

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!

2009-04-08T07:37:00.003-06:00

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'!

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.

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

2009-03-26T12:05:00.003-06:00

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!

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!

Pin ups.....better late than never

2009-03-13T07:38:00.002-06:00

I'm playing catch up here but here's my pin up from a couple of weeks ago. more to come soon.....

Oh! Hello Friends

2009-03-12T13:50:00.006-06:00

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!

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...

2009-03-11T06:57:00.004-06:00

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...

2009-03-04T22:00:00.002-06:00

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

This was my dog Nick. I had to have him put to sleep a few years ago. It about killed me. I still miss him. He was quite possibly the most awesome dog ever. We think he was part lab, part whippet. A rugby buddy of mine found him on the side of the highway in Alabama as a puppy and gave him to me a couple of years later when he moved to England to play rugby there. Taking that dog was one of the best things I've ever done. I miss you buddy.

Looks like the blog is going to take a hiatus for a few weeks, that way everyone who is a part of it can get caught up with their own work and we can come back at this like a bunch of art badass super pirates. But, since there was a topic for the week, I still drew something up for it. So here you go, my weird dark western image.

Okay, so he may not necessarily fall under the "classic" monster category. I'll try and do one that's more obviously a classic if I have time. I did this one completely by memory. For those of you who aren't complete Star wars nerds, he's from the cantina scene in Episode IV.

My monster...

2007-07-03T14:56:00.001-06:00

I always dug Frankenstein, so I sorta drew him and tweaked him out a bit. And it looks like he is jumping into a fire of pop rocks and pixie dreams. Or some shit like that.

New Topic 7/3/07
They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're classic monsters. Nightmares from your childhood, horror flicks from yesteryear, those dark, dusky, spine-chilling memories lurking in the nether regions of your cerebral cortex. Monster Classics.

TIki Madness!

2007-06-19T11:44:00.000-06:00

If any of you folks out there are in the Chicago area this weekend, I'll have a piece in DVA Gallery's third annual tiki show. The opening party is this Saturday, June 23rd from 4pm-11pm. It should be a good time. There have been rumors of Polynesian dancers, tiki beverages and Polynesian food. I'll be there for the party. Come check it out and say hi!

*UPDATE*- The opening went really well. It was a lot of fun. Also, I just got an e-mail letting me know that my painting sold! Woohoo!

This was the result of She-Ra and Loo-Kee drinking a bit too much and letting their passions run wild.

Pizzas late but piping hot!
