Drawing of the... D'oh!

Here. This picture is from me to myself for forgetting to take a picture of the painting I finished today before running it off to the gallery. So, no Drawing of the Day today. I'll be sure to snap some at the opening tomorrow.

Drawing of the Day: Caricutaure of Solace

Sketched this out while watching Quantum of Solace last night. So far there's a bit of "close, but no cigar " to my caricatures. Of course, that's one of the reasons I started this drawing a day exercise. To get better in areas I'm not expert in. The cigar's getting closer, though. Still, tomorrow I think I'll take a break from caricaturing and just sketch a naked lady.

Drawing of the Day: SHAUN!

Sketched this out while watching Shaun Of The Dead last night, truly one of the great movies from the last decade. I probably should not have begun this whole "drawing a day" thing with 2 caricatures, considering how rusty I am, but I wanted to do something different. So, here you go. I hope you like it.

Interesting side note: shortly after I started drawing this, Shaun stars Simon Pegg & Nick Frost start going back & forth on twitter about how they were together in Heathrow airport getting drunk while their flight was delayed. Good stuff.

Drawing of the Day: Day 1

Hey, welcome to 2010, kids. A decade into the 21st century & I still have neither a jetpack nor a robot maid. Somebody got some 'splainin to do there. Huh, Mr. Scientist? Mr. Fancy Pants White Lab Coat? Where's my JETPACK?!

Anyway, I've got a few new features I'll be adding to this blog over the next week or two, but the first one that I'm bringing to you fine folks here on this first Monday morning of 2010, your first work day of the new decade, is my Drawing of the Day (!!!). Huh, how about that?! Think of it as my gift to you to brighten your miserable little day.

I'll be posting something new every goddamned day, whether it be a quick li'l sketch on a cocktail napkin or a full-blown painted illustration. I figure it would be a nice way to constantly bring new content to the blog, but to also try some new stuff myself: new mediums, new styles, new ideas, whatever. And, here's the best part: every single f***ing one will be available for purchase! That's right. You will have a chance to have your very own original Craig Mahoney drawing for a very reasonable price, and I may finally graduate from Ramen Noodles and canned corned beef hash to Hot Pockets and Velveeta Shells & Cheese.

To start us off, I bring you the li'l marker drawing I did of Anton Chigurh last night while watching No Country For Old Men. It's 5.5"x8.5" and only $10. Slainte, kids.
