Back Again

I know it's been a while, but I am finally back with a new picture or three. This first one is a picture of Sponge Bob, the original Goofy Goober, rocking out. My youngest still loves the Goofy Goober song so I drew this for her:

She smiled real big when she saw it and screamed "I'm a Goofy Goober! ROCK!!". I think that meant she liked it.


This next one my oldest asked for. He has the new Injustice game and wanted me to draw the Shazam character from that. this is what is looks like:

I like it. I wish I hadn't tried to do all of the extra shading in the back ground, but he said he liked it and that is what's important.

The last one is a type of drawing I usually don't do. I don't care too much for still life drawing. It's always been a little too hard for me to get the curves and shading just right. I am attempting to start my own business and I needed a logo. Since it is a maintenance based business I decided tools were the best thing. This is what I came up with:

I am really pleased with it. I started to draw a cartoonish figure holding a hand full of tools heading out to work but, once I started researching, I found that almost everybody had that same idea. This is something different and original, or at least I think it is. I'm happy with the way it turned out. It looks good on a business card too.

Hawk-Man

 My oldest son gave me this piece of paper one day and asked me if I could come up with a picture of Hawkman from the the designs he had come up with.  I took a look at his pictures and sat down to try to make it work. We sat down together a couple of times and made some agreed upon changes to the helmet and knee pads, as well as a couple other things. I got started and after about a month I came up with the picture you see below.

I think it turned out pretty good. I came up with this from the action figure he has and from the way the character looks on DC Comic's Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. He hasn't had a chance to see it yet so I hope he likes it.

Call of Duty

I received yet another letter today from my oldest asking me to post a couple more of his amazing drawings on this blog. A request that I am more than happy to fulfill. He has started playing the New Call of Duty: MW 3 game and he has modeled the following pictures from there. The first one is the 'Tactical Knife' and the second is the 'MP14'.

In his letter he stated that the Tactical Knife doesn't look that good but I believe that it does. I think they both turned out very good.

Keep up the good work Big Man. I love you and I miss you. Now I'd better get to work drawing something or I just might have to rename this blog from 'Gary's Greetings' to 'The Big Man's Works of Art'. Hmmm. That has a nice ring to it.

Tarzan

When we open the mailbox today I was happy to see that there was an envelope addressed to me, written in pencil. I knew right away from the handwriting that it was from my oldest. He had sent me a letter requesting that we put another of his masterpieces on the blog. In the letter he explained that he was reading 'The Beast of Tarzan' and this picture is what he thought the author was describing:

I think it looks great. He definitely has talent.

Red Cobra

I drew this one for my oldest son. He asked me to color it, which is something I don't normally do, but I thought I would try it. I wish I hadn't, but he says he likes it so that is all that matters.

Japanese Demon

Madusa Skull

I worked on this one for a few days. I think it turned out pretty good.

Castlevania

Hi guys this is Wolverine again just like I told you I would. This drawing came from an older game with knights and werewolves,goblins,and trolls. What inspired me was the main character, Gabriel Belmont, who is trying to save his wife and the world from the Lord of Shadows. Still playing the game but I already know that it will be a awesome game and that my father is not going to like it because of the giant spider. Talk to you guys later. Bye.

Yet Another Guest Artist.

We now come to the youngest member of our clan. She has blessed us with a magnificent picture of a man enjoying a boat ride. She really loves her little coloring pages she got for birthday. They actually make sounds while she colors the different parts of the picture. Pretty Cool. So I would like to say 'Thak you' to my Little Squirt for her lovely contribution.

Lover Not A Fighter

This drawing was done by my youngest son. He finished it last night and wanted to add his contribution to the blog. He said that this was originally a broken heart that has been mended over and over but then decided that the designs down the the middle were just diamonds. He took his time with this one. He even drew out reference points first. I like it. I think he did a great job.

Bat-Man

Hey guys this is Wolverine again with another drawing of Batman. What inspired me was the new Batman game where he takes the Trial of the Demon were he is supossed to take a huge sword and kills someone but doesn't . At the end of the game he gets to use it to kill Clayface but loses it while trying to defeat Joker. Well thats all I have to say. Talk to you guys later.

Going To Party With Dad

Hi! This is the daughter of Gary's Greetings. You can call me Cat Woman. Before I drew this drawing I was playing with my Barbies and Barbie was going to a party with Ken.They were going to dance the night away.Then Ken broke his arm and Barbie called the ambulance and they put a cast on his arm.So that`s what inspired this picture.I love to draw.GOOD BYE everybody.

A Veteran's Day 'Thank You'

This past weekend my youngest son walked up to me and said "Here, Daddy. This is for protecting our country and keeping us safe." Along with a big hug he gave me this wonderful drawing:

He went on to explain the finer points of the drawing such as the grenade in my left had and the rifle in my right. He made sure I noticed the army boots and assured me that I actually do have hair. It's just under my hat. I told him thank you and I would put it here for the world to see just as soon as I could. I think it's perfect. I will always treasure those moments.

I served a little over 4 years in the Army. It was a wonderful, eye opening and learning experience. I am glad that our troops are finally coming home and I am thankful for all of the men and women that serve in our Armed Forces to keep us safe and keep this the best country in the world. They are true heroes in my book.

Batman of the Future

Hey you guys
This is Wolverine, the prodigy of the fine artist, who came up with this blog.
What inspired me about this picture was the cartoon that went with it. The future Batman was just a teenager who's father was murdered by a pshyco and so full with revenge Terry Mcgenese stole the batsuit after the original Batman retired. I hope you like this picture because I think it is one of my best.

Pizza Party

Well, here it is. I finally finished it today. I was asked by my oldest daughter to draw a picture of Wonder Woman, Batgirl and Supergirl eating pizza. I have to admit that this request threw me for a bit of a loop. I had 15 failed attempts before coming up with this one. I did create this from a blank piece of paper, no tracing, but I can't take credit for the original creation. The original art work was created by Tom Bancroft an excellent artist with enormous talent.

I think it turned out just pretty good. Everyone is enjoying a slice of pepperoni pizza. I hope she likes it. Sometimes it takes me forever to get a picture going. I have to actually be in the mood to draw. If I'm not 100% ready then I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

Either way, I am finally done with it and I can get on to two other requests that have been made. One being from my oldest son to deliver a picture of Nightwing and Robin fighting. I already have an idea in mind and I do believe I am ready to start it next.

Cool New Drawings

Once again my oldest son has graced us with some of his new artwork. We were suppose to have uploaded these a while back but I wanted to wait until he could give me a description for each of them. I wanted to actually let him type it in. We never seemed to have time to do it. Our weekends seem to be over before they even get started.
Either way, here are some new drawings for everyone to take a look at. I think they are very nice.

New, Heroic and Fashionable Creations

Once again we have two guest artists.  My oldest son has provided us with his newest contributions to the world of superheros and my oldest daughter has graced us with a sneak peek into her Spring fashion line.  I am proud to have them here and I thank them for donating their latest creations for us to view in awe and amazement. 

For Someone?

I just wanted to do this one. No one asked for it but I figured if there was a certain little girl out there that may love SpongeBob then this could be for her. Right now I have to get started on my next one. I have yet another request. This time it is for a picture of me and my oldest daughter sitting on a park bench watching Wonder Woman fly by. Oh yeah. This is going to take a while.

Batman

I just got this one done this morning and wanted to hurry and put it on the blog. I've been working on this once ever since I completed the first Wonder Woman picture. I've never really shaded in the entire paper before and now I have learned something. Lead loves fingerprints, duh. I guess I am going to have to be more careful the next time I try to do that. Either way, I think this one turned out quit nice. I thought since I drew Superman and Wonder Woman I should finish out DC's 'Holy Trinity' by adding Batman.

Another Request

After seeing the last Wonder Woman picture that she requested on the blog, my oldest daughter instantly requested another picture. What she asked for was a picture of wonder Woman tying Supergirl up with her magic lasso. After starting, this is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good. I know that Supergirl is not tied up but she is definitely worried about what is going to happen next. I hope my daughter likes it.
