Ripley the fez wearing tusk-dog meets a rotting rabbit, and Bono.

So last week and this week-end I nearly killed myself with this art project, Of just coming up with simple cartoon concept drawings. But, that's not how the project started, oh no its not that easy! My art teacher, announces that today we are going to make imprompitu (sp?) paper sculptures, that must be taller that 2 feet and must have at least 3 separate contact points on the table. Ok, Sayre Theo and I get to work making by far the most insane, and probably most unstable tower of impossibly folded paper ever in the history of that project (which the teacher had thought of like the week before). The next day, we have to SKETCH ALL THE SCULPTURES, and let me tell there are like twenty or so of these things. Here's the catch though, we had Less than a minute to sketch each one. After these were done, everyone in the class possesed a page of hurridly random scribbles, but to the creative eye, the perfect inspiration for kooky cartoon characters...Which is exactly what our teacher wanted us to do.
So here is the process of my drawings, from scribbles to concept to complete picture.

The Rotten green rabbit, little Timmy left him outside for the 'coons, but all he wants is to give you hug...with a knife.

Ripely, fell into a vat of toxic waste while on post as a guard dog to a reactor in Egypt, he was found by Prof. Spectalular. The professor re-built Ripley with pointless golden robot legs, and crossed his DNA with that of an elephant. The Toxic waste obviously just gave him that stylish Fez attatched to his head.

This guys name is Bone-o...Get IT?! He's like Bono but a skeleton! (and a cowboy.)
