Last drawing upload before i go.

The quote on his shirt is from the sting. he is playing a Gibson.... L-5 or ES- 175, my reference wasn't labeled.  that dog is a beagle-Fox hound mix.... uh... the guitar has no strings. that's because i suck at strings, i always ruin the guitar that way.  This is for my friend Michael, Ze Fire Tree =]

well i must finnish packing! enjoy your time, loverlys! See ya in a month!

"A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view." Wilma Askinas

A few Nights ago i was asked to draw a picture for a friend. He said it didn't matter what so long as its for him (not a direct quote).The idea behind this was: I wanted to draw a 50's pin up. most 50's pin ups that we see in everyday life are old soda pop adds. i couldn't find any 50's style Dr. Pepper adds so i tried to make one. tadaa! also i chose Dr. Pepper because its his soda of choice. apparently  he and Hanners both are having affairs with the Dr. =]

if you need help figuring out what happened: she tripped and fell backwards into the cooler filled with Ice and DrPepper.  by the way, because this is my drawing, she is wearing  very light tights under her nylons. my gals are fully covered almost always! haha! well that's all for now, tataa loverlys!

"Chelsea I believe that when your dancing Slowly sucking your sleeve That all the boys get lonely after you leave And it's one for the Dagger "- the Fratellis

here is a more finnished version of the pin up. PIN-UP!! Yaaayy!

even my pin ups are modest. :P
well enjoy, so long sweets!

"Locked in each human skull is a little world all its own."- Robert Tusker

First things first

BUSINESS!

I'm leaving on a five weeks trip soon and will not be able to upload any art so there won't be any. look forward to the mass amounts of art i shall load when i get back!

While i am out of town i realized that i will be on the road doing nothing but drawing during most of the week days and slow times in the conventions. whats better to do during that time but Commissions?! So i shall be doing commissions if you are interested please email me at contactmince@motleymince.com and I'll send you the rates and get things figured out.

NOW ART!

Skully is this gals name, well its her nickname. i invented her at the same time as Shelly and Mina. unfortunately for her i couldn't come up with a story for her so she never became a main character. I simply loved drawing her because it was a skull with hair. This drawing is her finally becoming a big character. She now has a story. She is a friend of Shelly's from college. while Shelly went for culinary arts, Skully was an Fashion, Theater, and  Visual Arts major. After college she started working for Sasha's fashion designer Mother as her apprentice. This makes since since Shelly was raised by Sasha's Mother so Skully would have met her while they were in College. Skully is the Friend who is practically family. Later I'll draw her without the mask.

I'm actually going to tell you EXACTLY what she is wearing here! that skirt is made out of those really thin floaty feathers and black. she is wearing light cream colored tights with pale peach thigh highs and dark brown Linen boots. the corset is black silk and steal ribbed. her peasant shirt is light cream. her hair is bleached Bone white and has streaks of dark dark (almost black) auburn. the mask is made of treated leather.

"say something about the dress!" "its pink?" "a complement! "- Beauty and the beast

so here is the colored dress sketch. or at least it so far. there will be gold on it to but i'm to lazy to add it at the moment. haha so here it is.

This one i feel a bit wierd about. please don't judge me. i was attempting to do an illustration to this song but it came out.. well yes. i do not condone Bestiality or anything. i was just trying to match the song! here its is: Air conditioned love by Ludo (just be glad i didn't Finnish the other attempt that looked like a furrie..thing..eewww...)

...And i just now realized she doesn't have a mouth.... *cracks up*

"Air-Conditioned Love"

I am a savage besmitten with her
The loneliest werewolf, I wander the earth
My words are mistakes and my thoughts are unclean
This cider inside me, it slides like a dream
The moon of her window, it glows evermore
The night wrapped around us, two spoons in a drawer
I miss her dark blankets, I miss her clean sheets
All her Julietting, coquettish and sweet

Make me hold you
But then I'm just a ghost
Air-conditioned love
Is always cold

I enter her room and it smells like before
Like rain and vanilla, she closes the door
The movement, the blurring, the echoing ache
Of slow disappearing and smearing away
But now I'm a thief, I'm a transient freak
A discarded object, I'm hated and weak
She's hollowed my chest and I've haunted her street
That ravenous princess, she's ravaged through me

Make me hold you
But then I'm just a ghost
Air-conditioned love
Is always cold

"When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity."- Albert Einstein

As a fallow up to  the post with all the Girls past looks here is what they look like now. starting with Shelly and going in order. here we go!

i was useing a new pen when inking this and it kinda messed it up. i dunna like this pen. it draws much to thick and light. i had to go over it several times. ANYWAY! She is a baker. a normal human baker who owns her own shop what her cousin (Sasha) works at.

Mina. this is my old pen. i like it better needless to say. She works as a waitress. here she is in her waitress clothing. well kinda. she has the apron but that's not actually what her uniform is.

Sasha working at the Bakery. this picture makes her face look a bit long though it isn't really. not that she's real or anything. haha! well anyway, here she is now a normal human. normal except she has a terrible stutter and therefore doesn't speak much.

"That holds all your memories A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams To be anywhere but here But baby anywhere is away from me" Never Shout Never

I drew this in a Starbucks. this goes with the Never Shout Never song: BigCityDreams.
 the lyrics that this goes with are:


We got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town

That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me

And ooh, hoo
If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This midwest town is gonna miss you
Ooooooh
Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it shout tell everybody that your gonna leave

" I just wanna sing a song with you I just want to take it off of you Cause Blue Eyes You are all that I need"- Cary Brothers

I had this Friend once. a very very dear friend and he loved this movie, Garden State, dearly. Well i hadn't got to see it ever but most of the time when we were together we'd listen to the sound track. in the sound track there is a song called Blue eyes by Cary Brothers. we always listened to this late at night.

A while ago i was drawing and it came on and this is the result.

It isn't finnished because frankly i don't want to think about it any more. this was just a quick scetch of my favorite memory. here are the lyrics to the song.

[courtesy of ST Lyrics.com]

Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You�re the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes
You�re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes
You�re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you�

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. ~Author Unknown

Hello! happy Valentines day (or singles awareness day if you prefer)! this is a quick sketch that dosen't have anything to do with the holiday except all the hearts. i just drew her a moment ago. Enjoy the rest of the day!

.........just imagine the rest of the couch.

"Stephan Fry i see no reason why you wouldn't want, some day maybe, to let me have your baby. " - sweetafton23

I have been writeing a seris of scenes with charicters i made when i was young. i've mentioned them before, i'm sure. well i decided to re-draw them with my new art style in their old style.  i'll post them in order.

 Shelly. she was the first. i came up with her on a road trip when i was debating upon if fairy godmothers could fall in love with the godchild. so Shelly and David were born. this is her as she first was. adorable, 17, and a fairy godmother. now she is Sasha's older cousin who owns a bakery and is way hyper and kinda digs David.

Mina was invented later in the same road trip as Shelly. Originally she was a vampire and Shelly's best buddy. why a vampire? because i wanted to read Dracula and my parents wouldn't let the 6th grader me read it. so i was fascinated with it. she is now a normal Ginger girl who is most of the time my main character.

Sasha was created in 8th grade, two years after the others. she was a half snake that was discovered by a rich guy on some island and brought back to AppleGate, Kansas. now she is an adorable younger cousin of the new Shelly and has a stutter (it makes her kinda snake like).

There they are. next are the unknown gals. or all the boys. well peace out sweets!

FAN art!this is Petra, my friends character! she's beautius aint she? She is immortal and very tall and wears armor.

here is her character overview... thing... ha ha here is the link: Petra!

"But, oh, Mina, I love him; I love him; I love him!" - Bram Stoker, Chapter 5, Dracula

Meet my Charicters from the book i've been writeing! Hannah helped me with the guy's hair and pointed out how to make joints look better. Thanks my loverly Hannah! i just wanted to talk about my charicters since i am going to try to make a comic with them once i get a bamboo. =]

on the Left we have Patrick.
       He is the oldest and at the moment most likely to end up with the girl. His original story was written for an english class in 8th grade. It was was about a boy who's Mother was a first class slut. so his dad was some rich guy he never met and he lived in a Mansion with his mum and sister who are both perdy redicules. well one day his father gets in touch with his mum and they decide to get together. So Patrick (who is 18 or 19 at the time) is forced to go with his aparent father on a trip. His father colects rare animals so the trip is to find a lost island. they get ship-wrecked and Pat is saved by a half snake girl named Sasha. lots of dramatics ensue and she is brought back to live in a cage in the mansion. i had no idea what to do from then on. so i put him and Sasha aside for a while.

in the middle is Mina.
   she is the main charicter at the moment and a hopeless geek. she was actually a sideline charicter for a bigger story i had been writeing. i later (7th grade)  wrote a short storythat was her back story. Mina's story and the next persons story are the same so i'll explain down there.

on the right is Jaick.
    Mina was the daughter of a strick lawer and a small town cop. she had a best friend (jaick) who was as sweet as can be and his secret was (dun dun DUN) that he was a vampire. now you must remember this was before twilight and i had never read a vampire book. all i knew was that the vampires in Scary Godmother were really nice and were never drinking blood and i loved them. well one day Jaick trips or whatever and this unattractive girl (poor Mina) turned into a beautiful vampire. well that story sucked so i dismissed it.

Now what ties Mina, Patrick, and Jaick together?

David 2009

David. he was the first story. This poor kid started out a Brunet with slightly paleish skin, then became a full on Ginger, and then he was an Oreo. i just cannot figure out this kids charicter...so he's on the shelf right now. i was wondering what would happen if a FairyGodmother was the true love of the Godchild. well it had to be a boy child then and they had to be near to the same age (5th grader that i was i hadn't realized Fairy Godmothers don't age so age dosent matter). well David was the unfortunate boy created for that and Shelly the fairy. Mina's vampire was soon introduced as one of Shelly's friends and the whole fiasco started. They all live in Applegate, Kansas which is named after the Devil, because Lusifer Kansas sounded wierd to my 7th grade self.
