joe randel's art dump

So the other night I extended the offer for others to hang out in my air conditioning and draw boobs and vadges.  No one showed up, but seeing as I had some time to kill before bed, I decided to draw some anyway.  I really should take some life drawing classes again to brush up.  Nothing too heavy, just once a month I think would be fine.  I know a buddy that goes from time to time and he said the open class he attends is pretty good.  I thin k it costs about $10 which is a fine price to pay in my opinion for a live model to draw.  I remember in life drawing class from when I had animation and the amount of life drawing we had to take was staggering.  While I don’t have time for that, I should get back in to it.  Gotta keep the skillz up!

Next time maybe I’ll draw more vadges.   Anyone want to model for that?  ^_^

I quickly clean this up tonight.  That’s all.

Hello people, how has your weekend been?  Mine was okay, nothing out of the ordinary.  Oh, wait!  I did manage to finish a commission this weekend.  This is one of several versions of this pic and one of two commissions I’m currently doing.  I know I haven’t had much work to share lately so I’m quite happy to show this off.  I think the owner of this piece is happy too. ^_^

Unsure of what to post I decided to wander though my drawings and see if there are any old ones that I could post up.  I did indeed find one.  Another lost doodle from a few years ago… I think.  Once again, I don’t really remember drawing it but I’m happy to share.  Especially since I haven’t post anything in a while.  I do have somethings coming down the pipe line… but that will have to wait.  Until then, you’ll have to settle with this.

So as I’m sure most people know, my blog here is hosted by The JAB Archives.  Well, I’m pleased to say that as of June 1st, the whole site is getting a new over haul.  Everything about the site is getting a fresh coat of paint and redesign so it’s easier to find the artists that you want to see.  What’s really neat is that even I didn’t realize just how many artists we host here.  Twenty one artists in all, including me!  I’m practically neighbors with artists like Jive Guru, Wagner and Karavan and I didn’t even know!

To celebrate the new redesign, I’ve done up a fancy new picture of Random inviting you to come see what’s new in the new TJA… and what’s in her shirt too.  I really do encourage people to go and check out the other artists here at The JAB Archives or maybe even be apart of the forum.  Most importantly, I want to thank everyone that has supported TJA for the past 17 years.  You guys are the freak’n best! ^_^

A few weeks ago I was going through a box of my old crap and I came across my old Heavy Metal magazines.  I totally thought I had thrown them away or recycled them when I moved away to college.  Finding these brought back a lot of memories.
