I am dedicating this blog entry to doodling one Cephalopod per day for 30 days. Squids and octopus. Even if I am sitting in a meeting, I will be doodling one. Then I will be later updating this blog post.

Why? Why not. I need some consistent creative project distractions in my life. I also need focus goals. And I love Cephalopods. Be sure to check back every so many days for updates!

Day 1: Jack The Drunk 2/18/10
(Doodled in between a two hour meeting on a new business pitch.)

Jack hates his life and his ex wife. He is currently unemployed. He spends most of his day on the couch masturbating to Jerry Springer reruns or Rosanne. His favorite things are vomiting flavored vodka and Little Debbie Snack Cakes.

He was recently kicked out of his parents basement. He has been accused of being a pedophile, but he insists his little mustache is to savor cocaine fragments. His age is 4 years old, which is like 40 in human years.

Day 2: Helium Harry 02/19/2010
(doodled on my day planer with a really bad pen)

Harry doesn't really know why he is floating and attached to a string. He isn't sure why he is being sold by a Carnie. He has no clue how a string became attached to his insides. All Harry knows is that he is the best damn balloon squid he can be. He lives every day of his balloon squid life as if it were his last. For a mere 5 dollairz you could have Harry. Just know that going to the bathroom isn't easy for poor Harry, so have some patience please.

Tentacle Party 02/21/10
(Doodled while visiting Grandma in Illinois)

Yeah, we're just three rad dudes monkeyin around with this guy. Great party huh guys? Who invited that dude anyway?

Fatty Fatty 4x4 2/22/2010
(Doodled at my desk on the back of a status report)

This guys life revolves around potato chips, video games, and his mom's subscription to Victoria Secret catalogs. He wines a lot, and will spit ink over just about anything. Hasn't cleaned his room in months, and refuses to throw away his candy wrappers. At least 2" of his squid but crack is exposed at all times. Poor fella has a bit of an acne problem, but he sure is lovable.

8 legged 8 bits 2/23/2010
(Created on a 10 min break while working late)

Caption to come later. Busy busy busy!

Okay okay, I broke my promise, I know. There will be a caption for this and many other one's that I need to upload including guest artists after work today. It has been a 70 plus hour week last week, so there is my excuse.

Happy B-day! Feb. 25, 2010
(Doodled on status report in a new biz meeting.)

Hey big fella! Happy B-day! It's you're day! Here's a unicorn, a monkey, and a party hat! You're getting so big!

Octosexual Feb. 26, 2010
(doodled on a Moosylvania envelope)

Why not have the best of 8 worlds right? Do you like your lady octopus with a little something extra? (Thnx for the idea Eva)

Octobro, AKA Octofrat Feb. 28, 2010
Drawn on the front of a status report

Octobro loves throwing the shocker. Why, he just got done date raping two octopledges of the next door sorority. You know why? Cuz that's what Octobro does. "Octobro bangs bitches" When he's done, he heads back to the house with his Octobro's, fires up the bong, blasts some Dave Mathews band, and talks about the fights he picked at the pub on ladies night. Pound them natty lights Octobro!

Changing the style up a bit

Red Larry March 4, 2010
(Red Sharpie on Work Note pad.)
Red Larry bitches about things a lot. There is always a problem. The cup is only half full for Larry.

One Eyed Bandito March 5, 2010
(Drawn by guest artist friend RYAN DOGGENDORF on a post it note)

Fearless thug of the deep, has a taste for blood, forty ounces, and 8 tentacled tramp magazine. He turned to a life of crime and chain smoking after a submarine full of deep sea adventurers harpooned his family. He will spend the rest his life seeking revenge through any means necessary as well as an underwater version of a nicotine patch.

This Sharpie Sucks March 6, 2010
Drawn with terrible sharpie in sketchbook

Well, this sharpie sucks. But this cephlo is wearing sunglasses. That's cool I guess.

Mr. Surprise March 7, 2010
(Vector Illustration printed on watercolor paper)

Well, this is all I can show, or say, because it's a present for my special favorite lady friend and she does't get it until she gets in town Friday, Just know that he's full of surprises. He also likes cotton candy.

Skarty Steve march 7, 2010
(Drawn by my lady friend "Eva beth" while visiting her dadio)

Poor Steve. He has a weak spot for the spicy food. He knows this is going to ruin his evening and he has a date tonight. Steve, when will you learn your lesson? Just when things are going well, you let out a big ol Steve Shart. Needless to say your date was ruined. Good thing you don't wear pants Steve.

Never Did get a chance to put this up. This is a piece I did for the Pins and Needles Charity art show. I made the mistake of using Sharpie. I think that perhaps using acrylics would have allowed me a lot more free time. Noted.

That is Justin Timberlake's head on the side of the pin. I am probably going to make a lot of enemies because of this, but I am working a over hyped celebrity into several of my new art pieces. And their severed heads. Long story. Metephore for my hatred towards glorified figures.

The main composition is a combination of spray pain, sharpies, and ink transfer of a partial digital illustration. It proved to be really difficult as it is dimensional and almost impossible to transfer on to. I had to cut it into 9 pieces.
