Illustration Friday - Mail

I drew this for the Illustration Friday topic, mail.

This is a drawing of Delibird, a character from the Pokémon video game franchise. I thought of this because Delibird keeps food and items in it's sack like tail and delivers them to people.
Plus it's holiday time and this character is obviously based on a penguin and Santa Claus.

This was also draw in my 2011 Sketchbook Project Tour sketchbook.

My Art is on the Front Page of a Newspaper!

Santa Cruz Weekly in California featured my Super Meat Boy drawing on the front cover of their news paper. It's the cover story image for this article.
I expected this to be some kind of bullshit, until they said they would pay me. Not the biggest newspaper out there, but I think it's pretty awesome.

The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77

Bob Rifo and Tommy Tea of The Bloody Beetroots playing Warp 1977.

I went to The Guvernment in Toronto on Sunday Oct. 17 to see The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77. It was amazing! They had a full band instead of just turntables, so they played a lot of punk.

The only bad thing about the show was that it was all ages, so the venue was kicking people out by midnight. Bloody Beetroots only played for about an hour! I hate that Guvernment gets all the great bands, such a bad venue for them.

Watch for more photos on my DeviantART account too.
Bob Rifo of The Bloody Beetroots playing guitar on the speaker right in front of my face!!

I have some more photos that I may edit and post up later on.

Oddish

I had this idea in my head for about a month now, finally got some time to sit around and just draw.. Same concept as my previous Pokémon illustration, more realistic style. This time it's Oddish, drawn more like an actual Mandrake from witch it's design is based.
