Business in the Back/Party in the Front!

It's been quite awhile since I've even thought of these little buggers. 

Starting back in the beginning of my 7th semester at Shippensburg, I began creating a series of cartoon characters, completely inspired by the tv show Total Drama Island and it's illustration style. Both of which I LOVE but have no affiliation with or hand in creating whatsoever!

My characters however, are based on real people that I've had the privilege of working with at Camp Harmony in 2007 and 2008 and whom I consider some of my greatest friends. I have yet to finish everyone I've wanted to create from those years and I've been wanting to begin making characters from the 2009 camp season. It's been really hard finding the time to sit down and begin sketches of the new characters and to also finish the rest of the old ones. But once I find some extra time in my schedule (once it is a little more structured) I would like to finish those and begin creating some story lines based on real events that I've experienced while working at camp. In the meantime, I'm proud to introduce some of my most often favorited-by-others works that I have posted to my DeviantArt site.

In no particular order I give you....

Each of these is drawn and colored by hand on a 4"x6" index card using Staedtler pens and Bic permanent markers and then scanned as .jpeg files. A few are colored partly with Prismacolor colored pencils. Like I said, more will be added as I find time.
