xmas.thumb.

another one for Fecal Face - and one for the xmas season, in general - for this week's theme 'tis the season.

idle thumb

dedicated to my Mom - because she's always well-manicured! (though, she's not idle at all - that's a whole different side of the story!)

Szabadság.Thumb.

This most recent piece is for my street art - currently being placed in various spots in the city of Budapest, Hungary. It is a loving omage to my home city and its famous Liberty statue (Szabadság Szobor) that stands proudly on top of Gellért Hill.

The Dance of the Sugar Thumb Fairies

Inspired by the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from the famous ballet, The Nutcracker. For holiday season.

nailed.

I whipped this up this morning to enter into the Free Friday's contest at fecalface.com for this week's theme, "Medical Emergencies".

VINUM.VENEMUS.

After managing to purchase 4 consecutive bad bottles of wine somehow, this is the image I kept seeing in my mind. No more wine, thanks, but no thanks!

bad.thumb.

VINUM.VENEMUS label doodle

I just realized I hate the word 'doodle'. I've been trying to right my wrong all day.

band.of.thumbs.

this is a quicky messy rough sketch of a special request that my father had made this evening. "Draw a gypsy band made of thumbs!" he had said to me. So I did. I hope to do a nice finished clean version of this mess in the next few days.

thumb in the hole.

Hours and hours of scritchy scratching that hole out. I abused that poor sheet of paper. and wore down my pen. nib change!

birdbrain. thumbs.

thumbs.in.the.boudoir. (in progress)

I got impatient with this one. still in progress. plus Sy spat soda allover it and I lost it on him (hence the previous "sorry thumb" posting - I ended up just investing today's drawing time into that, instead). ...now I feel guilty returning to this.

sorry. thumb.

black ink, graphite and a lot of pathetic cowardice on paper.
*dedicated to all the people I've ever lost my shit on. especially in the past 72 hrs (sorry, baby boy).

thumb.disaster.

this one just went all wrong. hence, the disaster.
really, it was supposed to be about making a decision as one would remove a bandage that's been on a wound for too long: just rip it off. but then I got distracted and veered off track. oh well..

Death by Eraser.

I'm all too conscious of the overuse of my eraser. it's the death of my fanspazztikness.

thumbtemplation.

just a quick sketchy doodle today. well, yesterday. just posting today. blah, whatever. I'm crusty today.

THUMBATRON.

He's so massive that his name's gotta be ALL CAPS.

this one was one of those sitters - sat on the kitchen table with many mini visits between other thumb drawings. I kept getting distracted by stupid things, plus I got caught trying too hard and lost the spark. then I added the key and cranked it. out came the thumbprint. at first a bad black smudge. Corrected by being completely blacked out. Then reborn with a thumb dipped in a smear of white from a perfectly sealed, unopened til now pack of gauche tubes that I had bought about 8 years ago in Toronto and brought over with us to Budapest. I opened it finally to make one single white thumb print.

thumb. prints.

My thumb was black with ink for a few days after this one.

smoking.thumb.

maybe it's finished, maybe it's not. maybe I'll go back in and add some more shading where possibly needed. all I know is that after 3 hours of non-stop drawing, I'm cross-eyed dunn for the day. well, not really, but I have to stop because I promised Sy I will cook him some stuffed peppers today.

mama. thumb.

Sy said to me during one of our weekend drawing sessions: "draw a big fat mother thumb!"
so I did.

when great minds meet.

"aw, damn... and I thought I was the only one with great ideas..."

pickled. thumb.

preserved and numb. she is the pickled thumb.

waiter! there's a thumb in my soup!

scribbled out at our fave Asian fast food joint in Budapest while eating hot n sour soup.

prostitute.thumb.

Hey sailor, I'll like you if you like me.

thumb.missed.the.boat.

doodled while Sy ate his Szechuan chicken at Tao, Budapest - OCT.26.2011 - 18:00-ish
*the boat lines are super retarded. i know. hence, this shall always remain just a doodle. (plus it's tiny)

angry. thumb.

bad day.

thumb.pusher.

thumb.sore.

sumthin. outta. nuthin. stew.
