SCANNER!

Got my Epson Perfection V30 scanner today...this is a HUGE upgrade from what I had before.

Here's a cute little drawing of the Brooklyn Bridge I did a few days ago that would have looked like poop if I used the old scanner. Shit is CRISP!

My sister and I sat down together and came up with these characters...

Total Rip-Off of Plank from Ed, Edd, and Eddy. I know.
Saps could use some bees flying around him...

This guy is boring...

This one is just lousy and half-assed.

Maybe I should start making more detailed background scenes since this scanner can capture EVERYTHING.

FRED the Shark

When I was at my previous job doing internet marketing, I had these cool co-workers that I bonded with pretty early on. I met them tonight after not seeing them for while and made them these FRED the Shark watercolor paintings. FRED was our personal mascot (our champion through dark times) who happened to be a rubber toy shark. I brought him to life with a voice that was sort of raspy and southern sounding (I don't know its just something that came up naturally). I ended up making a bunch of drawings of FRED for my co-workers. They enjoyed them immensely, and I decided that I would make an extra special reunion edition for them.

Here is FRED in all his glory:
