In memory of Egon

We were all sorry to hear of the passing of Harold Ramis yesterday. Director, writer and actor, of course Ramis will be remembered for Ghostbusters. But he also made some savage films in Groundhog Day, Caddyshack and Analyze This. He'll be missed.

So Sketch Dailies decided to dedicate today to Ramis and his iconic character, Egon Spengler. Here's my contribution. Do... ray.... Egon!

Hercules for Sketch Dailies

So the twitter account Sketch Dailies posts new themes for each day to which artists post their drawings. There's some incredible work on there, and some seriously talented artists. I threw my hat into the ring last week with a meh drawing, and followed it up with something a little better- Hercules-

American Hipster

Well, it only took four months. Between a wedding, thank you cards, work, and getting knocked-up, this is something that took me far too long to complete. That fire escape on the right? Two week's work. 

Anyway, here's American Hipster. Based on the Grant Wood painting 'American Gothic,' I had the idea of doing a more contemporary, cartoony version after a sketch I doodled in one of my Moleskines. So this is it. I have a bunch of in-progress images that I'll post soon.
