Dr. Sketchy’s Demo

2 11 2009

Hello all,
If you wouldn’t mind giving the above video a quick look. This is a Demo I did for Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore. We’re currently working on a short documentary and this is the demo I made to give everyone an idea on what it will look like when its finished. I hope you enjoy it! There’s going to be a lot more where that came from!
Have a good one,
Bill

Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore – Windup Space

8 09 2009

So since moving Dr. Sketchy’s to Windup Space on the corner of North Ave and Charles there is a lot more work to do, but I still get a couple of drawings done here and there. So these are a couple sketches I got done. The models were Lucille, Frenzy Lohan, and Deviena Fox.

A Lovely Place

24 08 2009

I remember the first time someone showed me William Shatner doing dramatic readings of popular songs. I damn near peed myself. Since then I have always wanted to do it with the song Hotel California. I had envisioned it on a dark stage, a single stool, a glass of brandy, and me in a Hawaiian shirt. It never happened. So as I posted before I finally got a camera and all kinds of other fun equipment. And I am in the process of finalizing a short screenplay that I would like to shoot sometime this fall. The whole film will take place inside the bar I work. The place is small and dark, maybe too dark for video. That’s what I wanted to find out. So I grabbed my camera one night after work and instead of just fooling around and filming nothing I decided to use my Hotel Cali idea inside the bar. So not only did I get test the bar for good angles and lighting, I was able to put together a nice project that also helped my get better with the editor I use. So without any more introduction I bring to you A Lovely Place .





Jack Of All Trades – Master Of None

6 08 2009

So folks I’m starting Grad school in a couple of weeks and to prepare for that I went back to my folks house to clean some stuff out for my new home office. As I was cleaning out my closet, and in all the way in the back was a video camera case, holding my 13 birthday present, a shoulder mounted video camera. I loved that damn thing, produced hours of footage of kids around the neighborhood dressed up like idiots. Not much has changed since then.

I still love doing those things. In fact over the last few years a friend of mine and I have made and worked on many little projects, and that was enough. I liked helping, but with him also heading back to school and his recent Baltimore area film success, our working together is becoming sparse. So I took it upon myself to buy a new camera, editing software, all the bells and whistles. I love doing this stuff and hope to continue doing it for years to come. So I have a few embedded files I’d like you to watch. First is a night test I shot in and outside of my apartment. The other is some vacation footage I shot while in Bermuda. These were exercises on my handling of the equipment, I had fun.

Whats interesting, obviously the scenes are dark because its at night, but when I watch this video on the Magix player (the edit program I use) the shots are much brighter.

Like I said the next is just some of the vacation I have. I must have another hour or so of stuff on the actual island of Bermuda that I just haven’t had the chance to play with yet.

So there you go. These are just the first of many little videos I hope to make in the future. What can I say, the happiest I’ve been in a long time is sitting in front of my editor with a cup of coffee cutting together scenes, makes me happy.

I just hope I stick with this long enough to get somewhere with it. Often I start in on something new and get bored, sidetracked, whatever. So I turn into this person who know a little about a lot of things, but have mastered nothing.





More Half-Naked Women

28 07 2009

Alright, I’m currently working off a backlog of stuff to show all of you. SO i’ll have a couple of posts up with stuffs on it.  Here’s some of the drawings of half naked women.

These are sketches of Bambi Galore, a DC burlesque model who posed for Dr. Sketchy’s ages ago. I’m just now getting around to putting these on here. Those are the first two.

Then we have several sketches of Sable Sin Cyr. I particularly like the one of her sitting with her back to me in the chair. I thought it was a good one.

I generally do most of these on the fly. Perhaps sooner or later I’ll actually doing something like a true finished piece of work, that being said, there are a couple of these I would like to play with and frame up ya know?





A Change of Pace

27 07 2009

Hello All,

Well anyone who takes the time to read this poorly managed blog anyways. Hello to you! I started this blog to try and display my art to the interwebs, but unfortunately I have been less than faithful to it. Its not that I haven’t been playing around with sketching and such, but I haven’t been keeping up with posting it on here. I am sorry for that, I need to do better. I’m going to try. Not that anyone really cares, but whatever, I like to keep up appearences and would like to at least use this as an outlet.

Thats whats going to change, I started this blog for artistic purposes, but at the time I had Myspace blogs and Facebook notes to satisfy this need to spew from mind to fingertips to interwebs. I think I want to make this that outlet, to satisfy that need. So here it is, my BIG ANNOUCEMENT!

So where am I starting? Well I just got off work, its 4:30 in the morning, I bartend for those of you that don’t know. I’ve been bartending for six years this past June at my family’s bar, the Blarney Stone Pub. For the sake of privacy though I’m going to generally stay away from using folks names, unless I’m really pissed off; than I’m gonna spread your shit all over the place.

Anyways, like I said, six years I’ve been bartending. It funny because I see the bar everyday, most of those are days I don’t work, but I’m always around. I find it interesting, the bar morphs at times. I don’t mean that it changes shape, the posters all stay in the same place and the bar doesn’t move from one all to the other on a regualr basis, but depending on what is going on the bar looks different. The bar looks different between when its clean and neat when I’m turning off the lights at night and when There are 100 people shoved into it on St. Patty’s day. I just find it interesting.

Whoops, so I thought I posted this the other night, and have now just realized that I only saved it.





Lady Vile and the Attack of Sketch-a-saurus

24 03 2009

Feb 23, Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore, Alexis was sick. Aaron and I had to take care of things… there was so much blood! SO MUCH BLOOD!  I drawed some pretty pictures too!

The contest entry was an ink drawing, and the contest was Best incorperation of how Lady Vile got her name. So I immediately thought of the forman of a sweat shop. Why? I have no idea. And the last one looks nothing like her, but I did it on the fly and wasn’t too upset ya know?





Maria Bella of Gilded Lily Burlesque!

17 03 2009

Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore had, again, a sold out show. So I spent much of my time waiting at the door taking money from people and pointing out open seats to the Johnny-come-latelys. I did get a couple of sketchs in though, which is nice.
