LAST WEEK'S SKETCHES AND THIS WEEK'S SHOW!

Before I begin, here are the sketches I drew from last week's Live Sketch Show. The theme was 80's and 90's cartoon characters, and I had so many great suggestions...
...Like Babar, who, even though he was created in the early 1930's, had an animated film in 1989 and a cartoon TV series in 1990-1991 (both produced by Nelvana), so he still fit in the theme!
Count Duckula and his servant, Igor (produced by British animation studio Cosgrove Hall).
He-Man (from Filmation's Masters of The Universe cartoon) arm wrestling Lion-O (from Rankin Bass' Thundercats)
Jem (from Sunbow Animation's Jem and the Holograms)
Pac-Man and a ghost monster (produced by Hanna Barbera)
Penny (from DIC Animation's Inspector Gadget)

The Pink Panther, Pinky and Panky (from DePatie Freleng's Pink Panther and Sons)
Mayor Lumpkin and Deputy Dotty (From Hanna Barbera's Trollkins cartoon)
And Wakko Warner (Warner Bros. Animation's Animanics cartoon) in a pie fight with Roger Rabbit (Who FGramed Roger Rabbit, co-produced by Disney/AmblinEntertainment). As you can see, it was a wide selection of great characters, and I had an awesome time!

And now, a reminder that this Wednesday night is my next Live Sketch show on Ustream! As in previous weeks, I'll be broadcasting from 8 pm to 9:30 pm Eastern time onWednesday night from this link.
 
You're invited to contact me during the show via Ustream's chat window. You need to log in to Ustream to use the window, but registering is easy. It only takes a username and an email address. Once you've entered that info, you can chat with me and suggest stuff for me to draw. Just like last week, I'll have loads of useless trivia and my own brand of quirky humor to inject (or infect) into each sketch I create!

This week's theme is fantasy characters. Popular creatures from mythology, folklore, pop culture, or your imagination--it's all fair game!
 
Can't wait to draw and chat with you guys soon!

It's Tuesday, which means tomorrow night is my next Live Sketch show on Ustream! As in previous weeks, I'll be broadcasting from 8 pm to 9:30 pm Eastern time onWednesday night from this link.

This week's theme is 80's cartoon characters. I'll do my best to take your suggestions and draw them as well as I can with little to no reference (unless I buckle and dig up some reference during the show, but that'd be a last resort)!
Can't wait to draw and chat with you guys soon!

P.S. I apologize for not posting last week's sketches here as I promised. It's been a busy week, and something had to give!

This week's theme is a continuation of my "Jim Henson-themed sketches" from my first show last month. Any characters from any Jim Henson show or movie are fair game for sketches. So put on your fuzzy, googly-eyed thinking caps and gimme some cool Henson stuff to draw! And check back here during the week where I'll post all the sketches I drew from the show!
 
Can't wait to draw and chat with you guys soon!

LAST NIGHT'S LIVE SKETCH, AND NEXT WEEK'S TOO!

Man, broadcasting on Ustream just gets better and better each week! Last night marked my third show, and it was such a blast drawing Popeye sketches for the people tuning in, of which there were many! Just scroll down to see all the drawings I did based off people's suggestions...

Poopdeck Pappy versus The Seahag, and Olive Oyl rollerskating...
Popeye eating carrots and finding they don't have the same effect as spinach, and Popeye's arm turning into a locomotive and plowing into Bluto's face...
Wimpy versus ME in a hamburger eating contest (I'd totally win), and Alice the Goon and Swee'pea...
And last but not least, Popeye's magical pal, Eugene the Jeep!

Next week, I'm returning to the theme of Jim Henson creations. The last time I broached this topic, I barely scratched the surface of what could be drawn. Next week I plan a full on puppet explosion on my show, so I hope you can make it! I'll post another update at the beginning of next week to remind you all to tune in! Talk to you then!
