Sorry it's been awhile, guys. Life seems to have a way of keeping you from doing the things you want to do, as I'm sure you've all experienced. Anyway, I'm working on a lot of new, goofy comics that I hope to have up on here soon. In an attempt to balance my drawing abilities, I decided to take a break from the silly stuff and work on one of my "other" favorite subjects (aside from superheroes and monsters), which would be women in the film noir style. </div>

The idea for this struck me last night as I was about to go to sleep, and my own sheer stupidity got me laughing for awhile. I mean, The Lizard has all the abilities of a reptile, right? I would hope that this would also include your average garden-variety of lizard's most endearing quality that we all discovered as kids: the classic tail decoy.</div>

I suppose this piece could also have been titled: "My Brain Threw Up On Paper." But that's a little too verbose, isn't it? Either way, this is a random assortment of any and everything floating around up there in that watery noggin of mine. Notice there's no math depicted here.blalockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827926560265448732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927046175377350232.post-15722895676730166542012-06-20T15:01:00.000-07:002012-06-20T20:03:27.384-07:00DC Comics Ladies: Catwoman!Watching reruns of the 60's show as a young tyke was my first introduction to Batman, so I guess that's why I'm partial to the Julie Newmar Catwoman costume (although the freakish, stitched-up Michelle Pfeiffer version is a close second). I tried to make the suit here as "glittery" as possible to match the way it looked on the show. Note: this is the first and hopefully the last time the word "glittery" has appeared on this blog.<br />

Doesn't everyone love a good magician? More specifically, doesn't everyone love a good female magician? Even more specifically, doesn't everyone love a female magician in a little tuxedo suit and tights? Apparently so, because DC hasn't really gone out of their way to change Zatanna's costume in almost 50 years. Well, except for that time in the 80's when she started wearing that weird purple wizard outfit. She soon switched back to the classic tux though. You really shouldn't mess with a good thing.blalockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827926560265448732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927046175377350232.post-55314566131864137962012-05-01T14:33:00.000-07:002012-06-12T15:23:33.816-07:00Madman and Joe!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm partial to the blue-haired version of Ramona Flowers myself, primarily because my lovely wife accompanied me to the 2011 Austin Wizard World Comic-Con as Ramona and she chose to "go blue." I wasn't really surprised when several guys stopped us and asked if they could take a picture with her; what really shocked me was when people wanted to take a picture with me simply because I was wearing wristbands and Scott's "Fantastic 4 1/2" shirt. Someone actually thought I was momentarily cool. But I think that moment has now passed.</div>

It just randomly fell out of my brain like an old moth ball. So here you go - a fake poster for some novelty chattering teeth. In concert. And only on a leap year, apparently. Get your tickets before they're sold out!

You'd think it would be enough for me to constantly draw pictures of monsters; but no, it seems I must also write songs about them. I suppose this is the ultimate indicator of a hopeless, and perhaps unhealthy, obsession. Anyway, I'm still new to recording my music, so the sound quality isn't so great but I hope you get what I was going for. If ever Dracula danced, I hope he would be pleased to cut a Transylvanian rug to this little ditty. So without further delay, behold my musical ode to the Count!

(Hint: it involves monkeys, dinosaurs, cute alien girls, ray guns, outer space, and other random absurdities. But I will say no more.)</div>

Happy Halloween time, everyone! Yes, it's that special time of year when monster costumes occupy every store; when little plastic skeletons and fake spider webs cover every window; when your favorite variety of candy seems to spontaneously become wrapped in orange and black. And in my particular case, it's that time of year when constantly drawing pictures of monsters doesn't seem quite so odd. So to celebrate this fact, here's a new monster drawing!<br />

Now to be fair, this picture isn't completely new. It's actually an alternate take on something I <a href="http://blalockandstuff.blogspot.com/2010/02/wolf-man-and-friends.html">posted last year</a> for a Wolfman themed art contest online. I added ink and water to this version, and I think it gives it more of a spooky feel. Hope you agree.<br />
<br />
Anyway, have a great Halloween everybody, and save me some Reese's if you have any left over.blalockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827926560265448732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927046175377350232.post-66589056289104216842011-09-10T13:44:00.000-07:002011-10-25T15:20:29.667-07:00Batman and Superman!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Who doesn't love Batman and Superman? Certainly not me. They're two of the greatest comic characters of all time, and their "cool" factor skyrockets anytime they appear together. Hopefully that makes this new drawing cool by association.blalockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827926560265448732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927046175377350232.post-59590118842596227752011-09-10T09:36:00.000-07:002011-09-10T17:15:09.456-07:00Madman Colorized!Here's my more refined version of the previously posted Madman sketch. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">

In my opinion, The Flash really has one of the greatest costumes in all of comics. I'm always all for simplicity, and I think there's something really striking about the head-to-toe red uniform with lightning bolt accents. I still have fond memories of zipping around the house as a little kid with my old "DC Comics Superheroes" Flash figure in hand. On several occasions, I broke the sound barrier. That, or I broke some of my mother's more fragile pieces of home decor. I can't remember.<br />
<br />
Note: the figure possessed amazingly realistic "Running arm movement."

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. I've been busy over the summer getting married and moving and random things like that. Anyway, I finally got to put my hand back to the drawing board and here's what I came up with.

<br />This is a "first appearance" version of Ant-Man from "Tales to Astonish" #35. I'm sure there's only a few select people besides me who care, but I just wanted to note that fact since his costume gradually changed in later appearances from the way I drew it here; I want my sterling comic book nerd credentials to remain firmly intact.blalockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827926560265448732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927046175377350232.post-56698875469493124462011-02-09T10:41:00.001-08:002011-02-09T10:44:08.360-08:00The Joy of Pork!There's really no point to this drawing, but it makes me laugh.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNxdIQWGCwpyuoGq69ZYTgmlgpVA6352k3GZ8uLQXcPtqB08AcacTfyeRrYgTpLrSNaUxwy1DEFplnguAHjRBIob4y_N_qcBygTwq22S7SNwDyA5n7p_9rgfH7wYZtcKPkfjSkCEPJpk/s1600/high_on_hog.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNxdIQWGCwpyuoGq69ZYTgmlgpVA6352k3GZ8uLQXcPtqB08AcacTfyeRrYgTpLrSNaUxwy1DEFplnguAHjRBIob4y_N_qcBygTwq22S7SNwDyA5n7p_9rgfH7wYZtcKPkfjSkCEPJpk/s320/high_on_hog.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571762265821044226" /></a>blalockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827926560265448732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927046175377350232.post-91465199653296188732011-02-01T16:29:00.000-08:002011-02-01T16:36:25.175-08:00Madman Sketch!Here's a quick sketch I did of Mike Allred's Madman (inked version soon to follow!) <br />I just recently started reading the comics after years of hearing about them, and now I kinda think they're the greatest thing ever.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvRFS4ltNxQL8E5asceM-sMPzwv3WuRzy6RJIr8CbPw3T-PEojBJV2qPR8qJPba-8q5B1wnq3q38zW3YZOMQtvZRgILh4rTns3i58DmirwSW8CKO1PDRbWZ-AqqJ0NGSgCGBm3msj3yvk/s1600/madman%2521+001.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 232px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvRFS4ltNxQL8E5asceM-sMPzwv3WuRzy6RJIr8CbPw3T-PEojBJV2qPR8qJPba-8q5B1wnq3q38zW3YZOMQtvZRgILh4rTns3i58DmirwSW8CKO1PDRbWZ-AqqJ0NGSgCGBm3msj3yvk/s320/madman%2521+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568883389884626706" /></a>blalockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827926560265448732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927046175377350232.post-21548049384450382512010-12-24T11:20:00.000-08:002010-12-24T17:48:13.824-08:00Bizarro Holiday Greetings!For those of you who may not comprehend the Bizarro language, he is saying he actually DOES wish you a Merry Christmas.
