This is Bid 'Ed Bunny.  Why the name?  Because he has a darned Big 'Ed! (head) He has a grumpy attitude for the same reason too.  Everyone seems to call him Big 'Ed when he knows its not because they think his name is Ed cus he's not a big bunny at all.  In fact most of the rest of his features seem to belong on a runt but anyway that's another subject he'd rather not discuss or I might be " Ed-butted".... BWAHAHA!

I just thought it would be funny to post this for all of you people (if there are any left since I've been quite absent lately) that follow my blog..  As you know many many months ago I posted Skullboy the image below.  If memory serves, I also had posted sketches of the progress shots and everything, and considering it is very similar to all of my other design work, I believe (tell me if I'm wrong) that it really reflects my own personal style.  In no way, do I think it is a ripoff of anyone's style, at least, I hope not... In any case, the design is 100% s4ndm4n's and I was amazed and shocked to get the following comment on the image..

you ---------- robbing bastard that sketch was done by me not you.

you jumped up little ---- so that it of istockphoto NOW !!!!!!!!!

and never copy one of my sketches again is that clear you little ---- up

Better luck next time all the best Danny Dees

I found it humorous to see someone trying to lay claim to one of my own designs and frankly I'm flattered that someone would find it valuable enough to pull that kind of crap.. lol  Why? Because if it wasn't a decent design in the first place no one would care right?  Well cool.  Since I know that I truly did the work, well umm, that can't be taken  not matter how many times someone cries "Thief" about my own work.  :)  Just for the record, these are the images straight from my hard drive including the original SCANNED sketch.  Enjoy the humor guys..

Skullboy Variant

James Greenaway (Jagi)

Lately I've been regularly checking out Nice Produce, an Art/Design site for new artists and design related subjects to engulf myself in. I've covered the site before but today I'm just covering one artist that happens to have a gallery there riht now.  His name is James Greenaway (a.k.a. Jagi) and his intricately designed artwork is very elegant.  It has a "Persian fantasy" look to it with a bit of a twist, of course.. It's premium artwork.  Find more of his gallery here.

Coming Soon to Istockphoto.. Skullboy!  V.1!    Hopefully I'll be doing more of him too.. but for now, enjoy! I'll let you know when it's been approved for mass consumption.... :D I'm happy with this one.. finally figured out what to do with the background.

Just my latest sketches, and yes I realize I may leave you with your head spinning with all the new directions I go with my ideas, art, toys etc.. LOL.. DEAL WITH IT. :P  Its how I am. hehe.  Its also why I sometimes sit for days without getting much done.. due to too many ideas, thoughts, distractions at once, but for now, I am in sketch/work mode, and its good.

This is my latest in Edo art studies, I have two new books from the library, a book on Ukiyo-e art alone and another on Tattoos based on Ukiyo-e Art.  Basically this all started with my Yakuza munny idea... and since then I just plain want to be able to replicate some of the styles of the period in designs.. anyway.. heres the latest.. my wife's quite fond of Dragons too so she does like this one and I probably will be designing a tee shirt on it.. :D  Oh.. it is VERY similar art in one of the books, but I assure you its not a copy but my rendition of an artist's style. :D

And on  a lighter idea.. I've decided another boombu body style is in order just for fun.  This one is a Boombu Quadopus..(only four tenacle-like stubby things) He's a bit of a nervous type.  Always being mistaken for one of those edible sea animals that humans like.. umm cali-- something or other?  Although squidlike/octopus like and squishy just the same, the boombu version is not fully aquatic nor, I assure you, as tasty or as edible.  And anyways, why would you want to eat this cute guy! :P
