I work at this Chuck-E-Cheese esque place called PUMP IT UP. My original love for the job is slowly melting in to apathetic non-caredness, an attitude stage that I vowed I would try to avoid.
It's taken me the longest to transition into laziness.. A lot of my co-workers scrapped caring within the first month. Some, not all.
So I was working a party the other day, and this boy taps me on the leg. I whip my head around to see him, and he starts repeating, “I HAVE DIABETES! I HAVE DIABETES!” like his parents had trained him.
It was cute.. but his parents really never seemed to excuse his gross eating habits. He was drinking out of little deer-park water bottle.. and upon closer inspection, the water was yellow. At first I thought that like, they put apple juice in it or something. But after the party left, I was given the honor to throw it away. Turns out it was yellow from all the food and gunk he was eating. I nearly puked.

Your style(s) also remind me a bit of Al Columbia and Savage pencil. In a good way. More please...

It's so interesting; you've nailed BOTH of my main inspirations right in the bud; Tex Avery and the Mighty John K. (Creator of Ren and Stimpy). It's my face.. based on how I see it all the time. John K's Blog is incredible- It's helped me draw a lot better in just a couple of years. He (who also picked up animation because of Tex) has posted numerous pages from Tex Avery's animation books, explaining how he uses such principles in both his toons and his images. It's good stuff.

I've seen that face before. I can't figure it out....An old Tex Avery cartoon? Ren & Stimpy? It's gonna bug me until I can figure it out. Do you do this in ink, or Photoshop, or [insert random program here]? I'm curious.
