I'm getting in just under the wire, but here is 'My Little Pony' illustration. I used my signature skewed design. And of course it has to be pink.

Crime Scene Cupcake
This was a special request by my niece Marisa for a good friend of hers who is a huge fan of a certain Crime Scene programme on TV :) Blood red icing, a dagger plunged into it, a bullet in its side and a hangman's noose draped over the cupcake ... as well as the DO NOT CROSS police tape -- I hope I added enough murderous implements to satisfy her!http://www.floatinglemons.com
My Attempt at a Caricature
Ever since I've gotten into art, I've scoured the internet for professional artists who could kindly give me advice on how to improve myself in this area. They've all given me great advice, and I was able to take that advice and build a beginning foundation from which I could start from. A general point of advice that artists gave me is to step outside your comfort zone and work on things your bad at. The main elment that sits outside my comfort zone is realism, so I've decided to finally tackle this little monster and bring him down for good. I'm going to do this by taking it upon myself to draw a caricature of random people that I admire and catch my attention. This man I drew is Bill Maher, a political satirist and T.V. personality whose brutally honest views have always provided me major entertainment.
Let me know if you like it, and again, I'm open to any advice or suggestions any of you are willing to give.
Have a Goodin'!

joe palma
On November 22, 1955, while returning home by taxi from attending a boxing match, Samuel “Shemp” Howard, of the Three Stooges, died of a massive heart attack. Shemp was lighting a cigar after telling a joke when he suddenly slumped over. The Stooges still had four more shorts to film in order to fulfill their contract with Columbia Pictures. Producer Jules White recruited longtime Stooge supporting actor Joe Palma to fill in for the late Shemp. Through editing, redubbing and strategic staging — that ranged from clever to horribly patchy — White made good on the studio’s contract.
The four final shorts, Rumpus in the Harem, Hot Stuff, Scheming Schemers and Commotion on the Ocean, were remakes of earlier Stooges one-reelers. White shot new scenes with surviving Stooges Larry Fine and Moe Howard, Shemp’s younger brother. Joe Palma appeared in these new scenes usually filmed from behind or with some prop blocking his face. One scene even had Moe, Larry and Joe Palma wearing beards as part of the storyline. Shemp’s limited dialogue was lifted from previous films and dubbed onto the soudtrack.
In Commotion on the Ocean, Moe and Larry slyly discuss the mysterious whereabouts of Shemp. Moe asks, “I wonder what became of that Shemp?” Larry answers, “You know he went on deck to scout out some food.” “Oh, yeah. That’s right.”, replies Moe.
Palma spent his last years in the entertainment industry as an assistant to Jack Lemmon. He appears as “Mr. Palma,” the mailman, in Lemmon’s 1964 Columbia comedy Good Neighbor Sam. His final film appearance was as a butcher in Lemmon’s 1968 Paramount film The Odd Couple. He died of natural causes on August 14, 1994.
The term “Fake Shemp” was adopted by director Sam Raimi and can be found in the credits of his Evil Dead films, as well as other movies.

Oldie West but a Goodie
Okay its been a long, long, LONG time since I posted here. Most of you who post today probably dont even recognize me. But a good buddy of mine asked me to stop by and hang for a while so I thought I should. Its a tight challenge for me this week to meet the Old West theme, so here is something I did a while back that fit, but promise no old art postings after this. Something new or nothing at all.
My Little Pony
My Little Dragon Pony...
Probably the most success I've ever had with markers, and I bought them for like 2 bucks...

old west (part 2)
The current challenge on Monday Artday is "the old west". In addition to my finished illustration, I included my original pencil sketch. (I showed a pencil sketch once before on this post.)
When I did an illustration for "the old west" in 2007, I presented a rather somber subject. This time, I'm taking a more light-hearted route. Well, it has a terrible ending, but there's some fun before I get there.

My Contest Submission
I'm excited over recent events that are taking place in my town. Cormier's, a local craw-fish restraunt in Monroe, is celebrating its 20th year in bussiness by holding a contest for artists at my school. The contest asks for a piece of artwork that's supposed to be themed as "Kiss the Pig" because of their locally famous pork sandwhiches.The artwork is going to be put on a T-shirt and then given to the winner for free plus a 50$ cash prize and a coupon to their restraunt.This is my admission for the contest. Let me know if you like it, and cross your fingers so hard that you cut off circulation to your fingers and end up having to get them amputated (no, I'm only kidding, but keep your fingers crossed none-the-less!)
I am also in the process of creating an Old West themed drawing for the contest. I haven't drawn anything yet, but I have a good idea that I'm rolling around in my head.

Modok
This is a frighteningly cute version of Modok (Captain America's weird cyborg arch-enemy) that I did for the March Modok Madness blog. You can join the fun too - there's still a week of March left.
