Comiczeichner und Künstler

Day one of my trip, I walked around Schöneberg, the goverment area, along the river Spree, through the Tiergarten, and was introduced to yummy Baumkuchen by yummy Felix. Baumkuchen is this cake-like treat that is a dough layered with chocolate and mayeb ground almonds; the layers are very fine, so it looks a bit like pinstripes. Then, it's covered with chocolate. That evening, I did a presentation @ Prinz Eisenherz to a cozy crowd. I was slightly nervous this time, and spoke a bit fast for non-native English speakers. And, I forgot to provide my handout listing the resources I spoke about. Arg! The next day, I spent some time @ the Pergamon Museum, and sketched out the cutest gay boys there.

My pretentious Euro-tour

I recently took a 3-week jaunt to Europe! About 2/3 of the trip was for my day job, and 1/3 was Tim-time. I sketched every day, but I will only share the most fun sketches with you. Oh—before you ask, I did not forget my camera as I did on my last trip (see prior sketch blog entries)! My office travel office screwed up and never bought my ticket. They had to scramble at the last minute to find an affordable ticket. The resulting itinerary sent me to Berlin via Rome. That turned out alright, as I got frisked by a very hot security guard!

Artistic eyes bigger than artistic stomach

A few months back, I was inspired to draw Leela and Frye from one of my favorite shows, Futurama. Actually drew Frye in Adam's sketchbook, and he inked it. My rendition was a bit more "Tim Fish" but Adam made him a bit more Frye. I had intented to color them, and draw all the characters from the show Fish-style. Well, above is as far as I ever got. Enjoy!

Johnny's Crush

The last of the G-rated sketches I scanned from my collection in Adam's sketchbooks. This one is based on a sketch Adam drew of a fellow whom Johnny (a.k.a John, a.k.a. JD) saw on the subway or maybe spoke to or something. Seemed like a hot but angry looking guy. So I gave it the ol' Tim Fish try and Adam added the thought bubble, a tormented moment of sensitive desire juxtaposed with the jock's angry body language. Johnny should have called him!

And yes, if you read between the lines above, I scanned many X-rated sketches by me from Adam's sketchbook. Adam's sketchbook is the official home of my dirty drawings.

Boy Wonder

Found this gem of mine in Adam's sketchbook. It's Robin girlishly kicking a villain (presumably), allowing us a nice view of his package. That may be unfair, since classic Robin always offers package opps with those skimpy speedos. Not sure what else I can say about this one.

Mythology

Another set from 2 years ago, I think. Adam had started a series of sketches in his book: sexy tellings of myths, and sexy drawings of the Greek/Roman gods. I added three to his series, two featured above: Mercury and Apollo. Adam inked Apollo. All Adam's entries were gods in the buff, but only my rendition of Mars is naked (well... he has some armor and a helmet, but nothing protecting his wing-dang-doodle). It's only pencilled, and it really deserves to be inked (some day) as it's the best one!

Herman and Sissy

Gosh, it's been a long time since I posted to my sketch blog. I admit it's more work than I'd bargained for. But I have found a few fun older drawings I can post, but also have a number of new ones to post in the coming days. For now, here is an old drawing I did for an art fair jam comic in 2004. Page 1 was this little boy Herman balancing a ball on the tip of a triangle, about to reveal what he was constructing. My revelation on page 2 shows it's a time machine, and adds a sidekick, "Sissy." I thought I did a nice job on my page, but then a mom and child added pages 3 and 4, sending Herman back in time to a Florida Dunkin' Donuts. I was really angry.
