Fan Art of my Fan Art

How cool is this? Fellow Star Wars fan Tania Cardenas, a pro character animator and FX animator sent me some photos of a clay sculpture of my drawing of Bubblehead Jabba & Leia as seen here. Very cute! Thanks Tania!

Polar Friends

Hey gang- a little something different today. Here are some character concepts from a show I'm developing with Joseph Schneider. It's called "Polar Playmates", and it takes place, as you can see, in the artic. (with NO penguins, I promise!)

The Joker

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been really busy with my new job at NeoPets. But to tide you over, I scanned a new little doodle from my sketchbook that I think is rather funny. Hope ya like!

"I feel like my skull is on fire, but I'm good"

Hey gang! I just watched the movie "Ghost Rider" yesterday with some friends, and although I heard it was bad, I held out hope. I mean, a guy with a flaming skull riding a black devil motorcycle is one one of the coolest, most cinematic images I can think of. How bad could it be? Here's my two word movie review: Turd Sandwich.
But, it inspired me to do my rendition of Johnny Blaze as a Bubblehead, with a little 'Akira' homage thrown in for good measure! Hope ya like!

A Gamorrean snack

Nothing a Rancor likes more than a yummy Gamorrean! Hope ya like!

Mmmm...tasty!

I've gotten many requests to do Bubblehead Hellboy, so here ya go, gang! Not sure what kind of alien creature he's fighting, but it's nasty, whatever it is. In case you were missing Bubblehead Star Wars, don't worry. The next one will be a SW creature. Hint: they're very tasty! Have a great night!

This is Sparta!

Hey gang. Here's a Spartan Warrior from the comic/movie '300'. Hope ya like!

Thanks guys, and be sure to keep stopping back for more art updates!

Kong is King

King Kong-the greatest monster movie ever made. I love this film. Seeing it as a kid really inspired me to take an interest in fantasy films and special effects. It still holds up marvelously well today. (King Kong vs. Godzilla? Not so much.) Peter Jackson's Kong was great too, in it's own way, but nothing can replace the original. Have a great weekend, everyone!

The only reason I sat through Episode 1 again...

Hey everyone! Here's a fresh Star Wars Bubblehead duel between Darth Maul and Obi Wan. As I watched this scene I remember thinking that lightsaber fighting had never seemed faster or more exciting. Sadly, Lucas didn't bring back a robotic Maul in Revenge of the Sith, so, sadly, we're left with a character much like Boba Fett in the original trilogy: Looks great, but goes out like a puss. Oh well. Hope ya like the drawing.
PS. Lots more stuff comin!

Nicole Richie

Sorry, cheap shot. No, it's the Pale Man from one of the best movies I've seen so far this year: Pan's Labyrinth. As far as Guillermo del Toro's movies go, I didn't think it was possible to top the Devil's Backbone- but somehow he did. You rarely see a mix of fantasy and reality work so well on screen as you do in this movie. And let's face it- who can forget the grotesque Pale Man, played brilliantly by Doug Jones.

I will continue to do Star Wars characters, but I'm going to throw in a couple curve balls from time to time...hope you like. And please, leave lots of comments. I love hearing what you're digging, what you would like to see more of, less of, etc. Let me hear from you!

Staying inside the lines...

Hey guys. This is a job I recently completed with my talented friend Patrick Owsley. He designed these characters for a company called Food For Life and I assisted by doing the coloring. A big thanks to Patrick for the assignment. It was a lot of fun!

I'm on Drawn!

A big tip of the hat to the awesome guys at Drawn! for including Wicked Crispy on their blog. I've long been a reader of their site, and if you've never heard of it--you're missing out on some of the most brilliant and inspiring illustrators/designers out there. You can check it out here--- Drawn! Thanks again, guys! I'm really honored! And, PS. Stay tuned for Admiral Ackbar... :)

Under the Tusken Sun

Today's Bubblehead update is a sandperson, or "Tusken Raider" to Star Wars fans. Gotta love those outfits--and I'm glad Lucas didn't reveal what they looked like under the wrappings. Too much mystery was ruined by the prequels, and I'm glad he showed a little restraint here. That said, hope ya like!

Weak Minded Fool

Hey everyone! Bib Fortuna has always fascinated me despite his brief screen time. I thought he was the coolest alien when I was a kid. Hope you like. If you are waiting for a specific character, please be patient, I've got a lot to do yet...

Jango Fett

Hey gang-Back with another Star Wars Bubblehead. Today we feature everyone's 5th or 6th favorite Bounty Hunter-Jango!
Hope ya like!

Spider Man 3

So this pic is a quick little study in response to seeing Spider Man 3. I actually thought it was an enjoyable movie, although the faithfulness to the comic was pretty shoddy. FX were good, but the Venom subplot was probably the story's weakest link. So, here's Spidey vs. Venom the way I would have done it. Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Separated at Birth?

In about 1997-8, when I was in school, I created a cartoon idea called "Sprouts". It was on my homepage for a while, until I pulled it off in 2005. Above you see an image of the cartoon, centered around these little grass people who assist nature and teach kids important lessons about the environment. The second image is a comparison between the Sprouts logo I created 10 years ago and a recent logo from a Los Angeles clothing store. I'm not saying they plagiarized, but the similarities are pretty amazing.

Droids for sale

My cat rocks.

That is all.
