NO MORE BLOG

2009-11-03T12:55:00.000-08:00

I will not be updating this blog at all in the future. Not that I really have updated it at all anyway but if you want to see my art then you will have to go to my website. I am really trying to make an effort to pursue things as an illustrator so I plan on having current material up all the time on my site. So check it all out at steveheywood.com

The Office

2009-06-05T12:27:00.000-07:00

From one of my favorite TV shows ever. If you watch The Office at all I hope you get a giggle out of this one.

Guess Who 2

2009-06-03T12:49:00.000-07:00

Here is another one. Just a hint but this one is not George W. Bush.

Guess Who?

2009-06-02T19:55:00.000-07:00

Yeah, so I know it's been over a year but I have been busy. Not than anyone checks this blog anymore but in case somebody does I thought I would post this. I have caught the caricature bug over the last week so here is my first finished one.

p.s. In case you couldn't tell this is suppose to be George W. Bush.

Moon Licker

2008-04-03T15:31:00.000-07:00

What if the moon was really just a giant Everlasting Gobstopper.

Tree King

2008-02-09T08:57:00.001-08:00

This is a variation on a drawing I did along time ago when I was first deveolping this style. I always wonder what a king would be doing in a tree. Is there some grand magical kingdom deep down inside full of mysterious creatures and wonderful heroic tales? Or is he just trying to hide from kids who keep asking him to play Monopoly?

Inch Worm

2008-01-23T08:25:00.000-08:00

I just got some new pens and a new sketch pad, so hopefully I will be posting a bit more.

Tooth Troll

2008-01-22T14:07:00.000-08:00

Wouldn't it be nice to have your own little Tooth Troll to keep your teeth protected from those nasty cavity creeps?

Mutant Snail

Happy Birthday!

2007-07-31T18:48:00.000-07:00

I did this for my birthday (July 16) but then I forgot to post it. We were in Hawaii last week and getting ready for that kind of consumed my time.

Sketch Book Page 1

2007-07-13T15:09:00.000-07:00

Here are some sketches I did yesterday. I pretty much just doodle on blank copy paper. I have felt a little stiffled lately so sometimes it helps to just start drawing with an empty brain and see where my mind takes me.

Half Full?

2007-07-12T09:39:00.001-07:00

How do you see it?

Right Turn

Feejee Mermaid

2007-07-05T18:05:00.000-07:00

In the 1840's P.T. Barnum added a new attraction to his circus side show, The Feejee Mermaid. It appeared to be half monkey half fish and was a weird corpse looking thing that of course was just a hoax. But I have been fascinated with the idea since I saw an episode of The X Files that talked about this strange creature.

4th of July

2007-07-04T08:40:00.001-07:00

Happy 4th George!

Big E

2007-06-28T18:05:00.000-07:00

This is a caricature I did of Dale Earnhardt for somebody. They never used it for anything but I still like it.

What Is That Thing?

2007-06-27T07:40:00.001-07:00

Mary had a cuddle bug

That wouldn't go to sleep

She rocked and she hugged it,

But still it did just weep.

The bug was sure an ugly thing

But Mary loved it so

Despite it's truly putrid smell

She took him everywhere she'd go

Captain Flyswatter

2007-06-25T21:28:00.000-07:00

Phil always wanted to be a SUPERHERO but to his dismay the only SUPER POWER he possessed was that of swatting flies. But to everyone else's dismay Phil didn't look as good in his new-fangled-spandex-super-suit as he thought. Phil eventually forgot about fly swatting altogether and spent most of his days posing in supposed SUPERHERO poses while his wife sat and cried as flies buzzed around the abandand rotting meatloaf she had cooked for her husband.

Tree Swallow

2007-06-12T23:05:00.000-07:00

Here is another one done in colored pencil. Scanned in on my NEW scanner on my NEW computer that I built all by my self!

Cup O' Joe

2007-06-06T08:49:00.001-07:00

Despite the resemblence, this is not a caricature of Joe Heywood. When I eventually do a caricature of Joe Heywood it will be entitled "Bob Unt Gelbe Puppe"

Aqua Man

2007-06-04T08:04:00.001-07:00

Things have been a bit CrAzY at work so I haven't been posting but this guy I think is pretty cool! Everyone knows wierd little fishmen like pizza more than Zeke's Floating Bait.

Caricatures

2007-05-30T09:25:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of caricatures. I actually did these quite awhile ago but I still like them. See if you can guess who they are.

Dog Catcher Catcher

2007-05-29T10:04:00.001-07:00

Trouble with Turrbles

2007-05-25T17:58:00.001-07:00

Henry likes to balance on the back of turrble shells

As he hops from hump to hump the turrbles snap and yell

But then one day poor Henry

Hopped and slipped and fell

And suffered a most atrocious fate

Too turrible to tell.

--------------------------------------------------

Nimble Jack

2007-05-25T09:54:00.000-07:00

Jack be nimble

Jack be quick

And he still burnt his butt

on a candle stick.

--------------------------------------------------

New URL

2007-05-24T10:17:00.000-07:00

I have registered www.steveheywood.com. For now it just forwards to this page but I hope to put a real site together in the near future.

--------------------------------------------------

The Sprats

2007-05-24T08:36:00.001-07:00

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

His wife could eat no lean

And so betwixt the two of them

They licked the platter clean.

I love the old nursery rhymes. They are so strange and demented.

Banana Guy

1. Oh, that's his nose!

--------------------------------------------------

Tree Head

2007-05-21T09:23:00.001-07:00

This is one That I had the concept for awhile ago but could never execute it in a way that I liked. I'm pretty happy with this final piece. Too bad pigs don't live in trees. I always like bacon with my eggs.

--------------------------------------------------

Snake Charmer

2007-05-18T08:27:00.001-07:00

This one was done with colored pencil instead of my traditional pen and ink.

-------------------------------------------------------

Dog Paddle

2007-05-18T08:12:00.001-07:00

This is a small tribute to Gary Larson and The Far Side.

------------------------------------------------------------

Shoe Elf

2007-05-17T07:37:00.000-07:00

If I was an elf that sneeked out at night I would use my magical elf powers to change the local milk cows into chocolate malt cows. Squeezing chocolate malts from a cows udder sounds much better than working all night on some old smelly shoes.

------------------------------------------------------------

Juggling Act

2007-05-16T08:35:00.000-07:00

This one is for all the moms in the world who's everyday lives are one big juggling act. This is also a reenactment of how I cracked my skull in 26 different places as an infant.

------------------------------------------------------------

Oui, Oui!

2007-05-11T09:40:00.000-07:00

I was going to type some cool french thing but I don't know any french.

------------------------------------------------------------

What came first, the chicken or the alien?

2007-05-11T08:54:00.000-07:00

I keep wondering, is it a chicken that looks like a man or man that looks like a chicken? Either way I'm sure I wouldn't want to be the one who has to clean out his coop.

------------------------------------------------------------

Protein!

2007-05-10T10:29:00.000-07:00

As a kid I remember watching my grandpa Robles eat a bowl a cereal that had loads of ants crawling all over in it. He just kept eating and said, "Protein."

------------------------------------------------------------

2007-05-10T10:16:00.000-07:00

I did this guy for my business, Banana Graphics. My kids always call him "The Clown". I know someone else who says this is the scariest picture he has ever seen, hmmm. I personally don't think he is scary or looks like a clown but, oh well.

------------------------------------------------------------

Mmmm, toasty!

2007-05-10T09:42:00.000-07:00

Roasting marshmellows is one of the great simple pleasures in life, it's like catching a snowflake on you tongue or getting your head stuck in a mailbox. Everyone needs to experience it at least once in their life.
