Witch Hazel

Yet another picture I printed out a while ago meaning to draw. This is Witch Hazel from the Bugs Bunny cartoons 'Bewitched Bunny', 'Broom-Stick Bunny', and 'A Witch's Tangled Hare'. It wasn't until recently that I realized her name was a play on the herbal remedy called witch hazel.

Toodles Galore

I had the urge to draw today and found a printout of this picture in the back of my sketchpad. I believe I printed it out when I was trying to get better at drawing female characters. This character is from Tom & Jerry and has been the object of Tom's affection in a few cartoons. Thanks to Wikipedia I now know that her name is Toodles Galore.

Minotaur Logo

I did not draw the image above. As I often do when I create a logo, I search the web for images and then put them together using Photoshop. This is a logo for the Minnesota Minotaurs from Basketsim.com.

Update: I also created this alternate logo for the team as well.

Basketball Phrase

When I play basketball I subscribe to the Pat Riley philosophy of 'no easy layups'. In other words, I'll foul a player rather than give up an easy basket. Anyone who has played basketball with me has most likely had the following conversation with me:
Me - "Did he score?"
Other player - "No."
Me - "Good D!"

I thought that conversation might make a good T-shirt so I came up with the image above. (picture on the front of the shirt, words on the back) I've had the picture for years but never got around to making the T-shirt. Who knows maybe someday I'll submit it to a website like snorgtees.com.

IF Clumsy

Giraffes look naturally clumsy. Put one on roller blades and it only looks more so.

IF Confined

Sometimes I feel confined by my cubicle at work and just need to escape.

IF Renewal

I combined the sun and moon and yin and yang for this week's Illustration Friday topic "Renewal". I'm also attempting to renew my resolution to post more drawings on my blog in 2010.

Happy New Year! I hope your 2010 is better than your 2009.

P.S. I'm saying "twenty-ten" instead of "two thousand-ten". New decade, new pronunciation.
