Moar Sketch

Here's another take on the cosplay concept.  It's a sort of mashup of a bunch of refs into one little package.  And for the nerd impared out there (which can't be many because, well, you're reading an digital art blog) I've listed all of the things I'd like to paint into it.

Luigi, Chun Li, Samus, Pokemon, Cammie, Lara Croft, Zelda - I'm pretty much ripping it all.  

I guess you could kind of say like a DJ would do with music, I'd like to do with these characters.

Commence the music.

Those are all game references, but I had to fight to keep a star wars bit out of this.  Oooh - maybe she could be holding a black and red umbrella over her shoulder to mix in a tad of resident evil.

Hopefully I'll find time, of which there is little presently, to fill out the rest of the piece.

As always, your comments are welcome and very much appreciated.

be seeing you,

Cosplay "Pin-up" - Rainbow Dash? Bravest Warriors Beth? Samus? Wat!

So I have this dream of mine...

I want to make a giant pinup banner to hang when I do the next Seattle Comic Con next year.

When I say giant, I mean, really quite large... like, taller than my house large.  Like... 30 feet tall giant.


Chances of this happening are slim but just like I always say "You make don't of the shots that you don't take."

So I'm planning for this.

The sketch has to be really tall because it can't be wide - booths aren't that wide, so I probably have ~5-10' to work with and the thinner and taller the better.  It can't be too lude, so I'll be somewhat tame.

What I'm thinking is that it'll look like a giant version of one of my cartoon girls standing right in the con.  Should be really cool to take pictures of.

Here are some sketches.

Rainbow Dash, Samus, Samus Cosplaying as Chun Li, Samus as Sailor Moon.   Then I did some other randoms - Velma, Beth from Bravest Warriors both regular style and as Slave Leia from the Butter Lettuce episode.

I'm not in love with any of these, although I like Samus as Sailor Moon and also Rainbow Dash is kinda too cool for School.

Do let me know if any of these tickle your fancy, or any other part of your mind or body.

cheers,
&Rew.

The rest of the Boo'd Puns

Here are all the rest of the Boo pics except the super secret one, who's name shall not be mentioned.

As a matter of fact - you do that here (link below to the LTD art gallery) for $20.

Bottleneck Gallery's 3nes show pieces, Mario, Zelda, and Metroid stacking dolls

HOW MANY TIMES CAN I DRAW THESE FOOLS FROM OLDSCHOOL NINTENDO?

I make pieces like this all the time.

I try to do it a little differently each time.  You know, grow a bit?  Well here are a set of prints available at Bottleneck.

It's ganon again! Againon?

Also, several news sites have been re-posting my work, which is awesome! But my last name is Wilson, not Fourthwish.  Although that would be really cool, I have to interject. Thanks for the coverage.

I love me some Matryoshka dolls.  It's been suggested that I should actually make these.  MAYBE I WILL! I'll show you!

(probably, I won't...)

Series Boo prints, another round of puns.

Another set of the Series Boo prints:

 Get em while they're hot.

Alternatively, if you're a new fan of my work, some older piece can be purchased at that same gallery here:
http://www.ltdartgallery.com/products?search=andrew+wilson&search-submit=

These are a few of my favorites, although I'm saving the best for last.

And if you haven't read back through my blog, I don't want to be one of those rip-off artists.  It bears mentioning that these are all based on fairly obvious popular characters.  They're pun combinations of Boo from Mario Bros.  In SMB he was originally called Boo Didley (a nice pun) by the way.  Well, I saw Mike Mitchell's Super Series and love the silhouette concept and wanted to add my spin by doing silly pun combinations. 

Also, I appreciate kind words, so don't be scurred to say that at me in the comments.  This blog has been a ghost town lately!

Winnie the Boo and a pot of funny.

Boo Who? Where to find the pritns and a couple of the drawings.

So the sets are super cheap!  I'm practically giving these away here:
http://www.ltdartgallery.com/product/boo-who-series-by-andrew-wilson-blind-pack

They'll cost you $20.  You'll get three random ones.  The packaging is really nice too! They're in a little boarded slipcover with a sticker on the back and a cover sheet so you can't sneak a peak at what's inside.  I've signed all of them.  It was quite a bit of signing.

Half ghost, half cop, he's... well, you get the joke (I hope).

Nintendo based Stacking Dolls (Metroid)

Metryoshka Dolls, if you will

Metroid inspired artwork for an upcoming show at the Bottleneck Gallery.  We've got lil zero suit Samus, the power suit, and the Metroid ship - IDK what she's claled.

I also tacked super mario brothers and zelda as a set of stacking dolls.  I'll post them up once the show goes live or the gallery pops the pics up with links to purchase if you're interested.

Boo! It's that time of the year again.

There's an upcoming art show.  If you're in the Seattle area or going to PAX, you kinda need to go to this
Aug 30th
7pm 
307 E Pike S t

At the LTD art gallery just blocks from where PAX is being held.

It's a video game art show and I illustrated my second set of bad puns.  Series Boo.  They're all based on the ghost character from Super Mario Brothers.  SMB has the best characters and Boo Didley (as he was originally called) is a really nice base for variation in the Super Mario Bros. world.  A nice round shape with a pink tongue and little flippers.  What's not to love?

Here are the 'base models' for the illustrations I did.  I'll be posting them throughout the next 10 days every once in a while, which is way WAY more frequently than I've been posting for some time.

The regular Boo with a green one up mushroom

A more shy version of the same Boo with one of the mushrooms that makes you larger

Prepare yourself for another season of bad puns.  You've been warned.

Daft Punkish shirt design

The overlay is an antique map of New Orleans.

I made a shirt for a bachelor party that I organized for a good friend.  He loves Daft Punk and though they might be too trendy to be 'cool' for the hipsters right now, I made this design anyways. 

So he's smoking a cigar and wearing a top hat to be bachelor party like.  There's also a map of New Orleans over-layed.  The center of the ear is the exact spot we stayed at.  We also spent nearly the entire time of the trip hanging out in locations represented on that design.

Color me happy color run t-shirts

The last of the first series of Wonder Woman prints

Prints are selling OK, but the better they do, the higher the chance I'll do more.
Go! http://www.ltdartgallery.com/product/punder-woman-series-by-andrew-wilson-blind-pack 

Here are the last two of the Punder Woman designs (minus the secret one, which will remain secret).

If they sell well enough I want to do a series 2 with a dozen new designs - or perhaps more.  So share this post with your buddies and pick up a blind pack of 3 for 30 bucks.   They came out really well and I'm sure you'll love them.

Shaun-der Woman (of the dead).  GET IT? GET IT!!!!
Hah.

For all your furries out there - Fawn-der Woman.

Arrrrggghhhh - Plunder Woman, eh?

Emerald City Con-der Woman.  That's a little Space Needle from the ring!

No, I'm not done-der woman.

Nun-der Woman.  Repent or die at the hands of her rosary of doom.

Wonder Bread Woman.  I suppose they need a mascot.
