Smoking Girl
Smoking Girl
She gets up before you do, and lights up a cigarette to start the day off right.
You can still taste her last night lipstick on your tongue. Along with the the intoxicating perfume she will leave behind on you.
Last night was a first for her… to sleep with the one she intends to kill! You didn’t know you were the target.
You didn’t see her unbotton her holster as she is putting on your shirt.
Say good night Charlie… 🙂

#3 TWEEK
TWEEK –
A story about a little boy’s toy created by his great, great, great grandmother in Eastern Europe in a time when the supernatural was believed more than in today’s times.
Tweek is made of cloth, mechanical trinkets and a little bit of magic. The magical doll speaks, walks, fly’s and interacts only with Sam.
Tweek can alter time and realities for only a short period of time in order to go on adventures.
The toy was created centuries ago and only turns to life for the boy. Sam’s father and his father’s father and before also went on adventures with Tweek. The magic is that the toy only comes to life for the boy at the time with blood relation to the great, great, great grandmother. Once they hit a certain age, the boy will forget that Tweek can come to life.
Sam discovered his toy’s abilities after a visit with his parents to the old country of Ukraine where they went to spend time with distant relatives.
#2 – HASSAN
Hassan –
Dating back to his rule in the 10th century Persia, Hassan was very cruel and his reputation preceded him with cruelty to anyone who opposed him. He even killed his two sons in order to never let them override his rule before or after his death.
Hassan was secretly killed by an assassin and replaced by a fake. Once in hell, he finds out that his twin brother Sabbat, organized his death and took over his kingdom.
In the 12th century, he was seanced back to life by a magician in order to take vengeance on his untimely death.
Since being cast to the darkness of evil, Hassan has made a pact with the forces of evil to bring chaos to modern civilization. With his return he now possesses incredible strength and some magical powers to cast evil over anyone in his path. One of his new magical powers allows him to become invisible for a short period of time and bring other demons into this world.
Hassan has gained an incredible amount of believers who have sided with him.
Deep down, Hassan is pure evil that can only be matched with the devil.
#1 Samurai-Girl
Day #1
My first upload of the 30 characters for the month of November 2010. My intention is to create a new character on the daily basis. Always coming up with something new and keeping it in a tight pencil drawing format. I feel very comfortable with the pencil and maybe develop a character in the future in color for a story.
These illustrations are my creative ideas on the spot, without any planning of what I will draw tomorrow. I’m trying to keep it fresh and innovative.
Free the mind and let the pencil do all the work without any limitations. Kinda like jack Kerouac’s “On The Road”
