Reginald B. Uttonface

Hey! Feels good to be back!

Portrait of Reginald B. Utton the Third.

Reginald is a bit of a wiener. At school the other kids constantly poke fun. Although he actually likes the attention most of the time, one taunt that stings more than any other is the dreaded Reginald B. Uttonface.

Why are kids so cruel?

Remember me?!?! Boo Boo!!!

So when the challenge of "Boo Boo" came up I painted a Dunny for it...but I don't have a camera so I never posted. It came out really awesome though. Trust me! Anyway it made me want to do an illustration for it as well. So, this image has been done in my head for forever. I just finally decided to put mouse to monitor and get it done.

Some Big Teeth...

Maybe you know I have a side project, well not really 'side' since it's all I do (and I am still falling way behind), called some tiny teeth, where I paint, among other things, lots of people with tiny, ineffectual teeth. Now, by rights, I should just paint some more tiny teeth, since they are easy, but now, I decided to give you all something different, something special, something that involves me writing really long run-on sentences to introduce, something you have probably already figured out, before I even get to, that this is obviously, as you can see, and deduce from the title of this post, some big teeth, my teeth actually (though maybe the colors are pushed a bit, I hope my teeth aren't that yellow anyway), so there you have it, this stupid-ass sentence, and this painting.

See, teeth, I went pretty far into pure concept for this one. I hope you can wrap your heads around it, my head is wrapped around those teeth, well, my head is wrapped around teeth for which this painting is but a simulacrum, but you know, sort of like having my head wrapped around it, them, or whatever.

It's acrylic. It's on clayboard. It's 8 inches square.

Later dudes.

They call him 'Teeth'...

Flattop. Mumbles. Itchy. Etc... Dick Tracy gangsters with descriptions for names. I figured, maybe Teeth would be a good gangster name.

the scary part about Teeth is what you don't see of his teeth.

I guess maybe he's a zombie. Or Killer Croc's brother or something. He just ended up really green, but that's the way I pictured him. Maybe he's real and I'm psychic.

I like the way this one turned out, which is amazing, based on my terrible, stinky, garbage original sketch.

July's Super Awesome Art Challenge is...


Time to brush up on your art skills! Boo-ya! This weeks topic is brought to us my Mista D himself. Well, technically he wanted it to be "Teef", but I decided to go with "Teeth" instead. "Teef" just sounds like a gross thing...and I'll leave it at that. The challenge is set!

Laser

This my laser. it is an exciting laser in a box. an empty box. Like a box should be. Not full of possibilities. Not full of the stuff dreams are made of. not full of memories or good intentions or marshmallow fluff. Full of nothing. Delicious, flavorless nothing. The perfect place for a laser to hang out, or do whatever it is lasers do in boxes full of nothing.

Revenge is best served with a laser.

This is a strange drawing. I wanted an excuse to try some new things. I limited myself to only using the standard, round brush in Photoshop with 100% hardness. I also limited myself to painting on one layer, instead of dozen's like I normally do. I also tried to avoid flat color and make sure there was a lot of smaller variations with slight temperature differences.

I was partially inspired by my Oil Painting class. I had a lot of fun in that class, and I've been looking for something new to excite me. This is beginning to be exiting, I think.

But I guess Monkey Suits and Lasers (or Lazers!) make everything more exciting.

Daddy, where do rainbows come from?


From drunk clouds who vomit. Now shut up and git me a beer. Daddy wants to make rainbows.
