BIG SKETCH DUMP!!!












Just a little mix of some old and newer stuff I've been working on. If you recognize the guy dunking the ball that's Bruce Ratner, half-owner of the NY Nets basketball team (co-owned by my employer's dad who plunked down I think it was $50mil two years ago for half-ownership of the team...oh yeah, and we got no raises that year!!! What a surprise!!!) Anyways, Jason (my boss) commissioned me to do his birthday card and this is what I came up with...it was also silkscreened on a hideous tank top and given out who knows where...probably at a game or some hob-nobbing get-together. The tanks came out hideous 'cause someone took my drawing, inked it and did a quickie Photoshop color job on it 'cause (as usual) it had to go to production immediately. Oh well, at least my drawing came out pretty cool...it even looks like him. Go ahead, Google him, you'll see. :)

FrogDaddy said...

Hey Jess- I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but this Monday (Feb 1st) is the one year anniversary of your iconic "Van Halen Still Rocks" post, and I think it would be apprpriate to toss us something new to mark this historic event....or you could always repost the Van Halen logo....Ribbit!

Lou said...

yeah man we need to see something new bro! how about a Rush poster or something? maybe you posted too many drawings and I guess you may be spent..but that's ok...you got a three day weekend coming up..c'mon homie...gets cracka-lackin'!

UnderDog said...

I can not believe you drew a portrait of that dog executioner Michael Vick.
Please remove it out of good taste to the dogs who read your blog. Bless you sir.
Have no fear-Underdog is here.

Air Bud said...

that no talent Vick hacked my hind legs off because he lost a bet that I could dunk a basket from the 3pt. line. mother-WOOF-fucker!

McGruff the crime Dog said...

anyone seen the taco-bell dog lately?

Chewbacca said...

GRRRRRRR!!!!!

FrogDaddy said...

I'm going to have to ask you to direct all Michael Vick related comments to the MIchael Vick Post. The Big Sketch Dump comment box is not the forum for this...it's only crime is that it's been up for too long. All dogs who can type and have internet access should enter their complaints there.
Thank You
