Everyone Was Waiting To See If He'd Get On The Bike

He had just exited a glass-front restaurant and was walking toward a parked bicycle. It wasn't really he who caught my attention, it was the fact that several diners inside the restaurant were craning their necks and exchanging hushed whispers as they gazed through the window watching him walk toward that bike. It was like dinner with a show! I suppose we were all curious to see how he'd maneuver those tight pants and generous bottom over the narrow little bike seat which seemed almost microscopic in comparison, but alas, he walked right past it and everyone went back to eating their meals.

Maui Never Fails to Offer Stunning Photo Opportunities

My friend was vacationing in Maui and stumbled upon this stunning sight while photographing the lush scenery and exotic flora and fauna. This particular stunning sight was also photographing lush scenery, but was doing so while wearing short shorts hiked way up high to expose her fluffy buttocks.  Because my friend shares my warped sensibilities, she immediately sent the photo to me. Even though I wasn't there to see the stunning sight in person, I noticed the rippling texture and undulating movement of the water matched the rippling texture and undulation of her behind.  Of course the little bird-like creature wasn't in the original photo, but it presented itself while I was sketching and wanted to be included. Medium: Ink on paper, digital color.

It's Time For The Annual "Butts of Summer" Comics Again

 

It's no secret I notice things about people. Beautiful things, strange things, unique things, captivating things, and....butts.  Well, at least during the summer months when all sorts of people tend to let it all hang out.  I've come to terms that my humor quotient is basically at the same level as a pack of 8 year old boys, so I may as well embrace it and make comics from it, eh?  The woman pictured above is no exaggerated depiction, for she truly ventured out of her house and down a public street with half her tattooed arse exposed.  Not only that,  she had a bad rash all over it and still showed it off!  And not only that, she was exposing her girlie pink bra under a torn and filthy shirt!  I admired her for her audacity and was very appreciative of her providing material for my comic.  Medium: Ink on paper, digital color, and yes her hair was really like that.

It wasn't really the fact his jeans were getting all up in there, it was the way he stood motionless in the grass, stiff and solid like a heavy steel fireplug. I was sitting behind him in the grass, enjoying fresh lychees while watching him stand there like a stout little statue, only moving his neck slightly if a pretty girl walked by.  Medium: Ink on paper, digital color.

Butts of Summer

I've spent much time lingering near tourist traps with my sketchbook this summer and here are some of the results. I couldn't help but notice a large number of horizontally-challenged butts populating the streets this year. Yep. I decided to create a comic strip called Butts of Summer and this is my first panel.

This was the finest specimen I recorded all season. She was wearing sweat pants and the fabric had buried itself deep into the "crack" area - which was damp with sweat. I wanted to turn away, but couldn't. Neither could many of the other people in the crowd - I watched fathers fussing at their children not to point and laugh, and teens covered their gasping mouths. It was quite the spectacle. I was careful not to judge her, but there was no way I wasn't going to draw her.

I was at a classic auto show waiting for my dream car to roll out on display when suddenly this very large man with a strange body parked himself in front of me. Unable to see around him, I was left with no other choice but to sketch him on some scrap paper I found.
