"It's just a bunch of hocus pocus...."

You know, I just love it when you're watching a movie, and then you hear the line that has the title of the movie in it and you think, "FOUND IT!"
But anyway, I drew this last week while watching the movie Hocus Pocus... which was:

THE BIG HALLOWEEN SURPRISE!!!
(cue orange and black confetti)

... yeah, a lot less surprising when you tell them there's gonna be a surprise... anyway, I hope you like it.

I drew it on a paper bag because it gives you ground to go lighter and darker as well, so you can use the darker color of the paper bag so you get a middle ground. Its pretty neat when you play around with it.... I'm thinking about using up my father's cardboard from work... yeah.... sounds like a plan....

Advice to Dad: *hide your cardboard boxes*

Another day of SKETCHES!?!?!?!?!?

So, remember when I told you all about how I would go to the library and find a magical scanner that helps me to show the world what sucks the time out of my day?!

Well, how lovely is this?!

Not only I have pictures for you, I have MORE CELEBS!!! (thank god, I was sick of freaking myself out with the Marilyn Manson picture... I mean, its great and all... but its creepy lol)

All of these I did in the past two days, because I've been bored and cooped up in my room studying caricature portraits and such... A funny thing happens when you're inspired by one drawing... you keep going, and going, and going... For some reason the past three days I was reminiscent of this picture:

So, here you go!!! lol!

Ben Stiller

Jim Carrey

Marilyn Monroe

Dennis Rodman

Barbara Streisand

Alright, that's all for now!!! I'll have more soon! (And now that I have found a scanner, stay tuned for a special Halloween Surprise!!!.... God I sound like a salesman don't I?!)

Marolyn Manson... creeper....

I am SO sorry for not posting anything for a long while! I will soon! I'm planning on scanning some stuff at my local library, so you guys are in for a treat!!!

BUT for now... Check this picture out of Marilyn Manson... you know... that creepy guy with one blue eye that wears makeup all the time and makes music that has to do with everything dark.... he creeps me out. BUT, since he was the last contest for Caricatures in the 2009 season, I thought I'd go all out :D Here you go! And enjoy the picture :D

Why I NEVER Eat Funnel Cakes...

So, before I say anything... MY WEBSITE IS UP! (http://www.theartofryanj.com/) You should so CHECK IT OUT!!! But now to the good stuff...

Well, they're just nasty... Funnel Cakes, I mean. I guess I look at funnel cakes and automatically think of gluttony. And since I work at an Amusement park, I see fifty million paper plates of it everyday, along with other sweet and nasty things like giant fudge bars and giant cinnamon buns and I just think, Ugh... why would ANYONE ever eat that?
But, The whole Walrus eating a funnel cake was a cute idea that one of my co-workers had, so I drew it. I like it especially because I decided to draw it on a paper bag...

I RECYCLED! :)

I feel sorry for that walrus though...

Get Up!

I am SO glad that I now have a BLOG here on blogger! By the end of this week though, I will have my own website up and you all can see more than just this! But, for now, enjoy this picture of James Brown being reincarnated into a rooster (you know if James Brown was anything, that's what he'd be)! I was drawing this while watching the movie "Soul Man," and this rooster, with a pattened James Brown Bob, came out. Wow, I can't believe that Bernie Mac and Isaac Hays are actually gone. May they rest in peace.
