MECHALUCHA 2: the doing art at work conundrum SOLVED!

i had posted a blog about how when i bring my sketchbook to work, we're too busy for me to doodle or draw- and when i leave it at home it's so painfully slow i wish i had the tools to do art.

but i figured out a way around it, and it was probably pretty obvious-
draw on the paper we stock at the print shop.. duh. you don't NEEEED to put everything on bristol board, Travis..

SUCCESS!

it was slow yesterday, and i used this kick ass 11x17 cardstock used for color copies to redraw my old mechalucha vs quetzalcoatl drawing.

i'm gonna buy a ream- this stuff kicks ass. you can draw and erase all day long on this stuff, and it doesn't tear or rough up. and it's acid free and all that other jazz.

give me a second to get the name brand or stock number for all you other illustrators.

haha. I used to do the same thing when I had an office job! I kept a ream of the best paper they had in my bottom drawer and drew inside of a legal pad, so I could close it and look busy if somebody bothered me.

dude this looks FANTASTIC. mas! mas!

And hate/love you at the same time for being so damned talented! But 99 percent love.

i think this will spawn a series of mechalucha adventures. next time: mechalucha vs. a horde of zombie villagers at a day of the dead celebration.
and maybe mechalucha vs a giant pinata monster...etc...

of course the speech bubble is my favorite detail. more!

I hope mechalucha also has to rescue a hot aztec babe from some evil high priest's pyramid sacrifice

iPear on Apr 08 '08 at 2:52pm

holy.

shit.

holy shit.

mechalucha may end up with a spicy but tough human female sidekick adventurer...yet to be named.
there's an old song i like called Lupe Conchita Valdez. (or is it Juarez?)

and the speech bubble- if i keep it, will probably be more of a skull glyph, but i need to research my ancient tongues.

omg i can see it now- mechalucha delivering the death blow to the midsection of the pinata monster and candy flying out to the starving village children.. or else rescuing children from the inside of the pinata monster.

rescuing Lupe from undead aztec warriors, etc.

omg i need to work on 'em.

spacesick 2 on Apr 08 '08 at 3:03pm

ha! little children inside would be perfect! while the villagers watch anxiously in the distance, Temple of Doom style.

I think there will be a few different subs in the top 20 once all the loves threadless have finsihed scoring. Travis has to be up there somewhere, his last few subs have lifted the bar on here--------

yea this is super neat, i would wear it

-from a blogger:

I don't know if anyone else who's been hanging around threadless for far too long (like myself) gets really excited when under-printed designers put out a sure thing - but I know I do. I feel the same way about this as when I first saw "No Peeking" by Jublin. That "THIS is a print and it couldn't happen to a better person."
Enjoy your...uh...12 pack of Red Bull.
