I am Alan Cheezy. In between making cheezy jokes, I make cheezy art. FART.

The Mouse go Splat!

A co-worker, and friend, is on his way to bigger and better things at Disney. I worked with him at Nickelodeon for quite some time. I always felt Nickelodeon in his blood, and I still do. I also liked the way my buddy Andrew pronounced his last name "Gartsa". And his last name is Garza. This drawing was easy, but fun. We were both fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, so I tried to keep things as loose as I could allow myself to be. Putting juuuust a little bit of the show into the drawing.

-I really didn't like the shape of the head on the larger drawing. Yet I kept trying to fix it. Then I did a quicker one below and was more satisfied. Funny how that works.

The FangBanger!

After watching the first 2 episodes of True Blood Season 1 when it first aired...I was not sold on the show. I let the first season wrap, and then caught up with the remaining episodes on DVD. And boy was it worth it. Season 2 was great, and Season 3 is off to a great start. Thanks to my homegirl "Tibo", here's my little homage to her and Merlott's Bar and Grill! (PS: I struggle drawing women, so this took a while and probably is a bit stiffer than I'd like)

The Turtle Toon!

Homeboy Alex "Toon!" Deligiannis. I was on a roll tonight, so knocked this one out pretty fast.

The Cheeky is Squinty

Alright, it's time to restart my restart of this blog! I am uploading some art I worked on. For those of you who don't know, Sean "Cheeks" Galloway is a talented character designer and much more. He's taking on the task of doing 500 headshots right now, and I can't help but be inspired by that. I remember a funky photo he took leading up to Heroes con, and I'm using that as the goofy head reference. For me, it's always a challenge to exaggerate proportions. And I hate how I only realize it after I've colored it. I literally go all in, and without taking a step back, I finish it. I'm trying to break free from that.
Check it.


Above is my final piece. Pretty straightforward.

Above, my pencil/pen work with the reference photo.

Above, my revisited quick sketch. Trying to be less stiff.
