Monday New ArtI’m The Night and Why So Serious? (My Original Art)

Kazowie, Zap, Bam, and Pow Roboteers! Today’s brand new Monday New Art brings you all two fun Joe illustrations that parody a certain cape crusader and his awesomely crazy arch nemesis. The drawings are entitled, I’m The Night and Why So Serious.

Posted here for your enjoyment, this wonderfully wacky new art Monday, is both the color AND pre-color versions of this dynamic duo of drawings. These were a real blast to draw. I’ve been using Fifty Three’s Paper app on my iPad since March 2012 but just started using the water colors in the last few months, and I’m LOVING it!

I have a stylus but stopped using it about eight months (or more!) ago. So everything you’ve seen since then has all been done with my right index finger. It was unnatural and odd using my finger in the beginning, but now it actually feels more natural than a pen or stylus. There’s just something primal and free about it.

As always buckaroos, please do enjoy!

Monday New Art — Assbeard: Think Outside Your Ass! (My Original Art)
Ah how I hate corporate lackey jargon and catchphrases. “Synergize and leverage interdisciplinary strengths”, “It will speak to that in the language”, “Moving forward we will address that in the strategy”, as well as a host of other meaningless corporate dribble.
Speaking of dribble, gang, here’s some awesome ass-dribble in the form of today’s all-new-all-original-all-mega-buttastic JGR Monday New Art!! It’s one of my most hated corporate catch phrases, “Think outside the box”. This ass-terpiece of big business jargon-jackassery is entitled Assbeard: Think Outside Your Ass! It was lovingly hand crafted by me, your good old bestest internets buddy Joe!
A special thanks to Noah who helped me brainstorm the catchphrase “Think Outside Your Ass!”
As always gang, do enjoy!

Monday New Art - Joe’s Sketches - Various Cartoon Mugs from Joe’s Sketchbook 3 (My Original Art) - Joe’s Sketchbook!

For today’s Monday New Art I’m dipping into one of my many sketchbooks. Here are various cartoon face studies I did sometime in July 2012. These have never been published or seen before; that’s right Roboteers, this post is my first public display of these fun faces. These are from my Joe’s Sketchbook 3 and I created them on my iPad in 53’s Paper app.

On September 10, 2012 I posted a similarly themed series of cartoon faces I called RETROFACES, click here to see that post!

****NOW AVAILABLE AT MY ONLINE STORE - CLICK HERE****
Greetings Roboteers!! Welcome to another Monday New Art post here at Joe’s Giant Robots - and I am VERY excited and pleased to present to you my latest 100% original creation… SPIKE!
To say I’m thrilled with this illustration would be a mega-understatement. I really love it! I feel it still looks like my work, but that I’ve definitely gotten out of my comfort zone drawing-wise and I feel like I took some new risks. I feel it all paid off beautifully! I love personal growth as an artist.
Thanks gang for reading my lil slice of intertubes - and thanks for checking out all my art AND my oddball posts. I hope you get as much of a kick from my website as I do posting on it. As always Roboteers, enjoy!

(MODOK) Monday New Art — KEEP CALM AND FEAR MODOK (My Original Art)
Woofnerts and MINDBLAST FEAR Roboteers!! Here is ANOTHER and THE last of my MODOK submissions for the 2013 March MODOK Madness website… entitled; KEEP CALM AND FEAR MODOK!
This here awesomeness is my 4th MODOK (if you count my animated one) that I created of MODOK for MARCH MODOK MADNESS! Jumpin’ Jupiter gang, I dunno about you all… but I’m a mindblastingly FEARED something fierce!
This was such a blast to draw. I’ve have several “Keep Calm” poster parody’s banging around in my head for several years now. I guess I just shook my head hard enough this time that this sucker rattled loose and fell out!
Here’s a little creative write up I gave the kind folks when submitting my artwork:

Here’s some history from the MODOKIPEDIA on “Keep Calm and Fear MODOK”:
Keep Calm and Fear MODOK is a propaganda poster produced by A.I.M. in the year 2039 during the beginning of the World Wide MODOK War, intended to instill fear and lower the morale of all of Earth’s people in the coming violent overthrow of every nation in the World and to be a warning of the wrath of Earth’s new overlord.

Monday New ArtThe Biffeteer Picture Book: Chapter 6 - “Victory of the Biffeteer” (My Original Art)

KAZOWIE and WOWZA Roboteers, it ALL ends here… TODAY!! Today’s Monday New Art post is the FINAL episode in the SIX chapter JGR mega-event The Biffeteer, America’s Favorite Flatulent Action Hero!! Strap on your ass-rockets gang, and prepare for the end!

Our story so far:
In our last installment, the Noah the goon is bested by our flatulent action hero, the Biffeteer. Once the goon is defeated, our hero fearlessly made his way inside of the ominous Nazi Zeppelin cabin and was confronted by CB Sinclair, the evil leader and all around scoundrel!! Sinclair demands the X-346 Nuclear Fusion Power Cell from Biffeteer! As Sinclair was about to “pop a cap” in Biffetter’s “ass”, the Biffeteer lounges into action releasing one of his most powerful thrusts of ass-jets to date!! CB Sinclair is instantly vaporized, however, the ass-blast was so powerful the Zeppelin burst into flames!

WOWZA gang, that’s all she wroye! There is NO more… of Biffeteer that is! I truly hope all those who stuck this adventure through had a good laugh and enjoyed it! I have TONS more new artwork and wacky posts coming your way in 2013! So if I haven’t chased you away yet, keep coming back!
