5 New GPKs

I'm debating how melted his face should be. In this version, I've decided to show more of his GPK face, and his face has begun to melt.

5 New Garbage Pail Kids by me Alex G. From the top:

1)Over-heated Hank/Melting Mel. He's melting out on his fold out chair/beach chair on his patio/deck because of the extremely high temperatures, global warming (for the sake of the gag, regardless of whether global warming is actually going on in the world). In the background, homes, buildings and trees in the city or town are burning, high flames, smoke. Two alternative versions: he's on the sidewalk burning in the city with the city burning behind him, or he's melting on a rocking chair on his patio.
2) Short-Order Clark/Sunny-Side Upton. He's a short-order cook handing a dish he just cooked for a patron, his eyes and teeth and gums are on the dish while his eye sockets and mouth are empty.
3) Combustin' Justin/Spontaneous Herman. He's a GPK who just spontaneously combusted in his living room or den/study.
4) Upside Don/Weird Will. I posted this guy earlier in September 2013 but I took him down because I wanted to post him among these other new GPKs. This GPK can be done in at least two versions, the version shown here and a version without the earwax dripping onto the ice cream cone. This GPK has his head upside down and is picking out a booger. His earwax is dripping out of his ears and onto an ice cream cone that he has in his other hand.
5) Rhoda Rage/? . This GPK is a baby GPK in a baby-stroller and he/she has a big smoking gun that he or she has used to shoot some other babies out of their strollers, they're in the background on the floor.

Again, these are all my ideas and I don't yet know as of September 23rd whether any of these or similar to these will be in the as yet unreleased BNS3 or 2014 Series 1.

I'll finish these all soon enough and I have more coming. I'm going to describe in a time-stamped comment for this blog post some additional GPK concepts that I have, I'm not going to be describing all the additional GPK concepts that I have at the moment, only some.

Cat vs Mouse, take 1

 

Some drawings from over the years

Some drawings of mine from over the years, one already colored, one mostly colored, most of the others will be colored later. To come up on web-surfing searches it's better to describe the drawings, so there's a drawing of Woody Woodpecker here, Pretzel the Dachsund dog, a house cat eating a mouse, an upset young girl, and two women.

Two 1990s Spider-Man drawings

Two Spider-Man drawings of mine from the 1990s. First, a Spider-Man drawing I drew in 1996, not based on another artist's Spider-Man, inked and colored this year. Back then I drew superheroes on lined paper sometimes (these days I no longer use lined paper for superhero artwork). Next, another Spider-Man drawing of mine from 1995/1996 on lined paper which I touched-up slightly and inked and colored this year, an original pose again.

some Neighborhood residents

 

These are 4 drawings all in a certain style and theme, each one depicting a person you might encounter in my neighborhood, East Hollywood and Wilshire Center. Actual streets in Wilshire Center were used for backgrounds. From the top, a bottle collector, next an arsonist (the smoke in the background comes from a fire he just set), an elderly man getting hit by a rock while coming from the grocery store, a Mexican/Central American man getting dangerous with a knife (the arsonist and bottle collector may also be Mexican/Central American). These drawings are all from a sketchbook I had, a page for each, and date back to 2011 or 2010, some maybe 2009.

I plan on coloring them soon enough.

GPKs, check out some finished and colored drawings

Here are 5 Garbage Pail Kids that I came up with, drew, colored and named. From the top: 1) Snot-Rocket Sal/Launched Luigi. 2) Sloppy Joe/Lunch Matt/Meaty Petey. 3) Betty Blooper/Detached Didi/Detached Debbie. 4) Jelly Donna/Jelly Jonah/Glazed Glenn (possible name). 5) Pull-Up-A Cher/Hannah Seat (possible name).

In Sloppy Joe the coloring is not finished, I have to finish the milk carton.

These are colored drawings, not paintings.

August, Spider-Man drawings

 And now while it's still August, I'm back to posting more artwork of mine. The top Spider-Man drawing in this post I drew quicker (see the pencil version below) than any of my other Spider-Man drawings posted on my blog before and again with no reference. For many years I was out of practice from Spider-Man drawing, but not anymore. The colored pencils that I'm using don't have all the shades of blue or red that I need for Spider-Man, but I can usually make them work, plus I've been buying new color shades.

One Year Anniversary

 

 

 

For the one year anniversary of my blog, Alex G. In Los Angeles, I'm posting this artwork of mine from 2012 which visitors of my blog will know. Yes friends, one year ago I posted my first post titled Greetings . Since then within that year, I posted over 82 posts (82 are still here, several were taken out). A blog is a great way to share your art.

Some sketchbook drawings

Doug Food

Another Garbage Pail Kid concept of mine. The names I have for him are Doug Food, Purina Pete, Doug Chow, Chucky Chow. I like this guy! I can see him coming out of a 1980s Garbage Pail Kids wax pack as a finished painting. He's based on a GPK sketch from a sketchbook of mine which I'll post here as well.

This is the sketchbook drawing from 2011 that I based Doug Food/Purina Pete on.
