Hey Guys.

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Chinese New Year (year of the Tiger). I hope everyone had a good one!

Here is my most recent DSC based off the 80's John Cusack film "Say Anything", I did it for Em for Valentine's Day. Since I had to do it in secrecy there is no drawing video. But since I got a brand new Flip video camera i did do a collaboration video with Em on how to make the Valentine's Day classic "Chocolate Covered Strawberries"!

Remember that crowd sourcing project I did so long ago to decide the genre of the drawing...you know the one that was the wedding gift to my Sister-in-law and her Husband. Well if not just to catch you up is WWII poster won and here it is at last.

These things are always really fun to do, also half the fun is who you get to put down as your directors, and writers. It's a potential dream team of awesomeness.

Since Jack has been born I've been trying to draw a family portait every year.

I've always been into the adventuring family unit, like Johnny Quest, the Fantastic Four, and Tom Strong. In this drawing I have Em piloting the ship with great skill and sense of direction. But of course like on all road trips you have engine trouble. So I get to draw myself as "ideal me" who knows how to reverse polarity and divert the emergency power to the forward shield so that we don't burn up on entry of the atmosphere on a alien planet with the help of my trusty sonic screwdriver. Then Jack being the precocious 3.5 year old he is, is incredibly proficient in getting into everything including the fiber optic data cables that link up the sensors to the navi-computer.

These things are always fun to draw, and maybe I'll get around to drawing something else soon (something with ancient relics and motorcycles.)

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Take me out
To the ball game
Take me out
With the crowd
Buy me some peanuts
And Crackerjack
I don't care if
I never never get back

Let me root, root root
For the home team
If they don't win
It's a shame
For it's one, two,
Three strikes you're out
At the old ball game!

As a kid I always know of Doctor Who and appreciated it for what it was. But it wasn't until David Tennet stepped into the role that I really fell in love with the show, David is my doctor. So thanks for the episodes Dave, and I look forward to Matt Smith's interpretation of the beloved character.

Now about this drawing:
Former child star Allison Arches (of the Sitcom: And four to go!), now turned paparazzi party princess was out clubbing in LA where she met a strange pale man with hypnotic black eyes who claimed to be descended from Eastern European royalty. Under the influence of X and several mint Mojitos she woke up the next day changed. With a sensitivity to sunlight, and a thirst for human blood she thought she had caught syphilis. Turns out she's just a vampire now. Now she has just signed a deal with MTV for a new reality series called My Life Sucks."

Us here at Atomicclockwork Media wish them great happiness in their future together!

So let me know what you think...If you're up for it, I'll do the sketches and put them up online. Early Congrats and we love you very much.

Matt, Em, and Jack.

Well give me a hand and vote for your favorite sketch, there will be a voting "thingee" on the side , vote for: A (Western),B (War Movie),C (Action), or D (Romantic Comedy).

I am validated!

2009-05-12T21:32:00.001-05:00

I got a really cool e-mail the other day from Devin Hyde (who I worked with on the Bullet Angelica.) It went a little like this:

"Hey Matt,

I have been at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival for the last two days,
and it has been pretty great. Yesterday I waited in line to meet
Scott McCloud (and his wife). When I got to the front of the line we
chatted for a bit, and he commented that he really liked my shirt, and
was wondering where it was from. If you guessed that I was wearing my
Bullet Angelica shirt then you guessed correctly! I told him it was
for a web comic, the Bullet Angelica, that I used to work on. The
McCloud's laughed a little, and Scott reiterated that he really like
the logo. I agreed that "my friend Matt" did a really good job."

I now feel validated! Scott Mcloud liked the shirt I designed. That's pretty cool...

Thanks so much Devin for the e-mail!

Yesterday was a beautiful day, and the morning was cool enough that I
took Jack and his pal Matthew out for a small trip. We made it over to
Laumire Sculpture park. I had not been there in years.

There had been a few additions to the park but really not much had
changed.

Em and I have a bunch of pictures that we took there from when we were
just had only been together for a couple years. All of them looked like
something you would see in a Gen X movie like "Singles" or "Reality
Bites". I may have to post those.

From my first day of my new job.

2009-04-25T14:04:00.000-05:00

For those who don't know I started a new job. It's been pretty hectic,
that's why there hasn't been a lot of activity at drawsumthincool. But I
thought it's pretty funny that I found a red Swingline stapler in my new
office. Kinda ironic, but funny. If you don't get the joke go out and
rent Office Space right now. It carries much truth, and we should all be
looking out for our own Red Swingline Staplers.

Life as a (h)Asian American: 04_05_09

2009-04-06T18:46:00.003-05:00

I've decided to change up the name of this segment. Since this is window into life, I thought the title should reflect on more on me as a person than of just me being an artist.
(h)Asian is meant to be pronounced hay-shun, as in half-asian. It's strange and fantastic to be apart of two cultures. But also strange and weird to be looking into see that you are different.

Let me know your thoughts on the change.

I was going through some stuff the other day and came across this.

Right before I went up to The Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Design in Dover, NJ. my friend Jeff Elden ( you know Jeff from The Middle Child Blog) made me this sweet action figure.

He did a repaint on a Punisher action figure and made packaging. My favorite part is all the detailed work on the back. This was a fantastic gift.

"The Hat" was my pseudo-alter-ego from high school. Somewhere there is some artwork of the "Adventures of the Hat and the Loon". The zany adventures of the oh-so-serious Hat, and his zany goggled partner the Loon wielding his giant mallet.

Finding this was really a nice stroll down nostalgia lane.

This was also a time where Jeff was really starting to take his art seriously. It has been a real joy of watching his talent grow.

Original Hippocratic Oath, translated into English:

“ I swear by Apollo, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath.

To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art.

I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.

I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.

But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.

I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.

In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.

If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.

She-bang!

2009-02-13T21:31:00.005-06:00

I just finished "SCUD: The whole Shebang! TPB." I fell i love with this book back when I was in comic school.

It broke my heart when Rob Schrab prematurely ended the series before it's climatic closing story arc had ended in Scud #20.

Rob went to work on other projects like the amazing Robot Bastard!, along with Heat Vision and Jack (that starred Owen Wilson and Jack Black), and writing and directing The Sarah Silverman Show.

But during the writers strike Rob had a bunch of time on his hands, so he decided to finish Scud...and it was wonderful!

But when I was reading it I came across a panel with Scud dressed like "The Tenth Doctor." It was to awesome to be true, but there it was. I knew this page would have to become my desktop image!

So here is how I did it.

Here I scanned in the art at 300 dpi.

I adjusted the contrast, levels, and curves in Photoshop. I also rotated the image slightly so it doesn't look like look like he's going to fall off the page.

Next I added colour, and added colour to the pin stripes on the suit.

To make Scud really pop out I grayed out the background.

I added the logo and then Ta-Da! A finished desktop to be proud of!

Feel free to download this desktop for you own personal use! Here!
Scud of course is the propert of Rob Schrab. This artwork is only an homage to his awesomeness, so please don't sue me.

As a toddler, Royce learned Jiu-Jitsu from his father and his older brothers Rorion, Relson, and Rickson Gracie. He began competing at the age of 8 and by the time he was 16 had attained the level of blue belt. A year later he was invited by his brother Rorion to help teach Jiu-Jitsu from his garage in America. Despite not knowing English, Royce accepted the offer and moved to California. He competed in a number of Jiu-Jitsu tournaments in Brazil and the United States and compiled an amateur record of 51-3. Royce received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 18. Royce is now a 5th degree black belt.

Skomolii is the brain child of Jeff Elden. A deadly vegetable grown by the evil Dr. Cheese. In most cases is an irresistible veggie adored by children. But unless you eat them every day you will die in a gruesome and bizarre manner.

But in some cases they like in the cinema classic "Gremlins 2". There are genetic varieties that would appear as soon as they have properly ripened.

In this case K10 came home from a hard day of work. She managed to beat Jeff home ad decided to relax and read her book for awhile and then to make dinner. She had just found a Skomolli lasagna recipe that she was dying to try out.

She heard a noise from the kitchen. She looked down at the floor and both cats where curled around her feet. She cautiously got to her feet and made her way o the kitchen doorway. She could see the block of knives of the counter and pulled the one that was closest to her.

Then she saw it.

Something moved on the counter. Was it a mouse? Or a Rat?

No. It was green. It was the Skomolii that she and Jeff had just picked up last night. It had budded small black eyes on stalks, crab like claws, and three segmented insect like legs.

"Well. It looks like dinner is going to be late." K10 whispered to herself.

About this drawing:

Meet Pearl.

Growing up is hard enough, but when you grow up under the sea it's just plain crazy. There are dangers everywhere, sharks, giant squids, electric eels, and including from above.

But life is what you make of it, and there is no other place like under the sea.

Hey Kids...

Sorry it has taken so long since I've posted. But I've been busy with t-shirt art, proposals, podcasing, drawsumthincool, and life in general I haven't had a chance to put anything up. But I swear here is more on the way, so share and enjoy.

About this Drawing:

Wednesday is the day that Na-Na and Jack play.
Jack is a play hard kind of guy, but when he wears himself out he likes to curl up with Na-Na for a nice nap.

An image like this would make a great gift for that cubical or next to the Shillelagh.

I (heart) Steampunk.

I love steampunk.

Here is a great video about streampunk by the folks over at Make magazine.

About this drawing:

Sundays are the day that Gung-Gung and Jack go for their stroll. Sundays are the best days for stroll down to the park. The streets are quiet, kids are out playing and Gung-Gung also like to bring Blondie “the dog”.

Today Jack insisted that he held Blondie’s leash, and when a taunting squirrel crossed their path, Jack learned how to wrangle a charging beast!

An image like this would make a great gift for that cubical or next to the bottle of animal tranquilizers.

Hey Kids.

I know I haven't posted in two days. It's not because I haven't been busy. I'm actually hard at work, and I'm sitting on five new illustrations I want to post. But the problem is that most are gifts and I don't want to accidentally give away the surprise.

So...I have a bunch of stuff that I haven't posted before I started this blog or the Doubledorkmeter Podcast site. I please enjoy some classic DrawsumthinCool and check back because I'll have new stuff up in the next day or two.

Thanks.

Meet Spiff.

Space adventurer! No planet is to mean, or alien punk to tough to take down Spiff. He travels the Galaxy in search of adventure. No task is to dangerous with this trusty blaster at his side.

This image would make a great gift for that cubical or over the mantle or next to your blaster charger.

This artwork is still for sale. If you are interested in purchasing this art please e-mail us and let us know.

I'm a somebody!

Hey Folks!

Couple months back my favorite serial audio drama podcast (Wormwood) put out the call for episodic show art. By the way Wormwood is an incredible Horror/Mystery serial podcast, which is funny, and dark with a huge cast of interesting characters voiced by a small but incredibly talented troupe.

If you are a fan of Steve Niles, or Twin Peaks you will love this show.

Anyways... I decided that I'd like to contribute my depiction of the lovely sarcastic Sparrow, the assistant to Dr. Xander Crowe and my favorite character.

I thought I would include the before show number and title.

After Show number and title.

So if your into the theatre of the mind check out: Wormwood. You won't regret it.

About this Drawing:

"So when the great word 'Mother!' rang once more,
I saw at last its meaning and its place;
Not the blind passion of the brooding past,
But Mother -- the World's Mother -- come at last,
To love as she had never loved before --
To feed and guard and teach the human race."

-Charlotte Perkins Gilman

An image like this would make a great gift for that cubical or next to the crib.

Ninja-bot FTW!

2009-01-11T21:29:00.003-06:00

About a week or two ago I made a post on Facebook and Twitter, asking "Ninja vs. Robots, who would win?"

The overwhelming response was Ninja-Robot!

So I present a rough sketch of Ninja-Bot!

This Droid will be the main villian in this years Leong family comic cover!

In previous years we've had the Family Adventure cover...

and the Matt and Jack roaming the 7th Layer of Hell in "DriftWorld" (which some day may find it's way into an audiodrama.)

But this year I'm putting the family back into peril while we fight Ninja-Robots! So stay posted and you'll see roughs, pencils, inks, and full colour!

So stay tuned!
