Long time no see!

Whippets, how I love them so.

Hello, beautiful bloggers and blogettes. I hope you've all been great. A lot of has happened since my last post!
Since we last met, I...
- MOVED TO CALIFORNIA!
...which I suppose is a very big deal. Hence why there hasn't been an update for almost a year! I wish I had so much more to show you, but things have been so busy that there hasn't been much time for me to draw lately. However here are a few pages from the past month or so. I hope you enjoy them!
As always, click on the images to make them larger.

Not much of a story behind these, only that 1. I went to the Orange County Pet Expo and got to see the whippets, 2. Rob and I adopted a pair of boy rats since January, and 3. I went to visit Jessie and Lance, an amazing artist couple who took me around Burbank. Mixed throughout these silly doodles are rats, whippets, self-portraits, some silly animal-people, and the final image has a somewhat-inaccurate depiction of Lance and two versions of his girlfriend, Jessie.

Our rattie boys, Kotsu and Buster.

I'm definitely getting back into the groove, so expect another update shortly.

Amour,

Julee

Punk Rock Werewolves, Naked Dancing Ladies, and Victorian Gentlemen...

In this edition of Jewlee's Doodle Blog, hapless wenches get their come-uppin's from punk rock monsters!

Hello, beautifuls! Here's a few quick and nasty doodles from the past month or so. Costume business and school keeps me pretty dang busy but I still have my soft spot for the loose 'n crude charm of sketchbook love-making.

First, I'll start off with some Victorian Gentlemen (referenced from real fashion magazine illustrations from the 1800's!). Remember, pics enlarge when clicked.

Next up, a quick bit of recent fan-art for 'Hit-Girl', a character from the comic book/movie Kick-Ass.

I'll close with numerous random sketches and lots of naked dancing ladies.

Until next time,

Julee

Ballantines is good fer me!

Rob and myself being peck-eyed.

Hey everybody! Well, I've been pretty busy, but I'm uploading a batch of fast doodles. Here are some scans of the aftermath, featuring numerous self-ports, doodles of Bukowski and company, Adam Ant, members of Roxy Music, and a few depictions of my boyfriend and his glorious cats. All of these drawings are SUPER FAST and loose.

That's all for now, short and sweet :) See ya next time!

That's a bingo! March 2009 - Jan 2010

The Bear Jew welcomes you to this edition of "Jewlee's Doodle Blog".

Well, my life has taken some interesting twists and turns since my last sketchbook upload. But with undergrad studies winding down, I have some time to get tipsy and doodle :) So here are a few pics from last year, and a whole SLEW of 2010 doodles originating from yesterday's all-night scotchfest. Hope you enjoy and thanks for eyeballin' my doodles.

Here are some colorful selections from the past year:

A birthday gift for my boyfriend. He turned 30 last year!
A quick acrylic painting I did in August or so. Based off an R. Crumb sketch.

Oh, and here are the results of yesterday's doodlefest. It felt so good to christen a new sketchbook with crude drawings of famous actors and writers. Oh boy. See if you can recognize them all... I drew plenty of Sherlock Holmes based off the recent film, historical and film-based Oscar Wilde and Sir Alfred Douglas, Morrissey, Woody Allen, characters from Inglourious Basterds, some self-portraits and Nabokov and Kubrick-style Lolita.

That's all for now, I suppose. I look forward to updating you again when things get a little more artsy (or fartsy) around here.

Celebrities and doodads.

I've been very busy lately. Can you believe I'll be an english professor one day? Wow. Time flies since my last upload! Here are some brief and quick sketches done months and months ago now. I promise you fine folks I'll have more to show in no time :)

So without further aideu, random celebrity doodles. If you couldn't guess, most of these were done around the time of that "Dark Knight" movie and everybody (including myself) had a bit of a Heath Ledger infatuation.

Sketch dump! Nov. '07 - Feb. '08

2008-04-03T19:22:00.011-04:00

The New York Dolls circa 1975 or so!

Why, hello there folks! Here's some sketches and doodles ranging from November of 2007 to February of this year. Enjoy some angry scribbles about inbred suburban rich kids, some cutesy doodles of me and my bald boyfriend, and some character studies!Just a little bit of venting about the shallow suburban idiots that go to my college.
Some scribbles of my comic characters.
Lovey-dovey doodles, featuring my whippet Boomer!

This was supposed to be used for a book cover, but was scrapped. I like his expression!

Drawn during last year's X-Mas, when Rob and myself were stuck in Kansas City in 25 degree weather!

Yeah, I do a lot of "making fun" of people, don't I?

When I was in third grade I made up these ridiculous anthropomorphic superhero characters. One was a rat with horns, and his girlfriend was a bunny with lots of ears. I think they were mutants or something! Haha. Here's the updated versions.

That's all for now, folks!

Drawings and stuff!

A love-dovey birthday pic for my super boyfriend.

Hello, folks!
Been busy, living life and all the goodies that go with it. I got a tattoo, I started my Bachelors Program, and I'm just busy in general. I have been working on my comic like a faithful little spud, though. Alas, you're not going to see any of it yet! Sorry!

In the mean-time, have some colored doodles I did in August... click on the pictures to make them bigger!

A highly accurate self-portrait. If you can guess where this quote is from, you're pretty cool.
More character doodles from my comic. Just thought these would look cool with some color splashed on em!

Have a great day! And don't eat too much candy!

My long lost viewers...

2007-06-05T00:00:00.001-04:00

Okay, so I've been a baaad baaad blogger. I know I haven't touched this thing in ages, but fear not, loyal compadres! I have much art to share. I've even reduxed some of my old comic characters! Enjoy! (Remember, you can click the images to make them bigger!)

P.S.: I like to paint naked ladies! (See Below)

---------
First off, some random scribbles...

(These Booji Boy heads are sketches for a tattoo I'd like to get. It's still in the creative process.)

(Failed Self-Portaits... I promise you, I'm not this ugly.)

----
Now, the good stuff. As you know, I've been working on a comic for quite a while now. Although there hasn't been as much progress as I'd like there to have been (it's not even half way finished), I have been very busy drawing character sheets.
Here's some of the cast... from left to right: Gwen, the comic store cashier, Rick, the disgruntled nerd, and Billy, the sleazeball... to the far right are some character sketches of Billy.

This is a small portion of the beginning of the comic. I haven't even added the dialogue yet!

--------

Some of you may remember a very badly-drawn webcomic that I kept frequently updated from the years of 2001-2003. The comic was called "Plug Puppies" and it was my main staple of self-entertainment during my time in high school. Looking back at it now, it was pretty terrible.
I decided to give re-drawing the characters a go, so here you go... these aren't all of the characters, but I got as far as this before my hand started to cramp up! :\

------

And thus concludes today's art dump! I hope you've enjoyed yourself, kiddos. I'm going to go drink some wine and take a nap.

Happy Halloween!

2006-10-31T20:51:00.000-05:00

BOO!
That's right, boys and girls, it's everybody's favorite spooky holiday tonight. I've been sick and working as a waitress, which hasn't been very fun, but I found some older art today that is kitsch! So I am uploading that, as well as some more recent stuff. Hope you enjoy!
----
First off, I redid the flyer for Attacked!, which is South Florida's ONLY weekly punk rock and new wave night. You can visit the Attacked! Myspace page here!

Remember, you can click the pictures to make them bigger!

Secondly, I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON COMICS AGAIN. You heard me right, chilluns, after years of hiatus I have picked it back up. I'm several pages into two differently-themed comics. One of them is a short vignette about an evangelical woman who walks in on her son masturbating (this one will be finished very soon and you'll get to see it!) and the other one is about a young, nerdy anthropologist married to a cavewoman (literally). Anyhow, I've been doing lots of character studies for the latter, so here's one little teaser pic of the main character, Rick, drunkenly burying himself in his neighbor's breasts.

Thirdly, here is a rescan of my zombie boy watercolor drawing, and some older sketches I found today while cleaning up:

That's all for now!

Love, Julee

Inkstains, anyone?

2006-08-15T00:09:00.000-04:00

Hey, kids! It's Julee, again, with another installment of scribbles and inksplots. Most of these were drawn in an angered fit between hangovers and work, except for the colored poster, which I designed for some good pals of mine over at Roxanne's Thursday night, Attacked!. Click on the pictures to make them bigger!

You can visit Attacked's myspace at: http://www.myspace.com/attackedrox ! Now, onto the good stuff, the scribbles and whatnot:

Until next time,
Julee

Hey, kiddos! How are you? I've been awesome! Remember those cartoons I promised you a while ago? Well, guess what! HERE THEY ARE! Enjoy these scribbles depicting fatties, schemies, rednecks, and elvis impersonators. I've got more art (watercolors, this time! with COLOR!) to show you all so, in the mean time, stay sweet my lovelies. Also, if you click on these pictures they get BIGGER!

That's all for now!
-Julee

Busy busy!

2006-07-21T00:05:00.000-04:00

I have TONS of art to show you fine, fine people, but I've been pretty busy kissing/licking the posterior of The Man (tm). So, I'm leaving you with a little watercolor drawing I did last night. I have about 10 or so pages of B+W pen sketches to show you, however, and those will be up ASAP, I promise!

You know mamma Julee will always love her possoms.

-Julee

This one's for the Smiths fans.

2006-06-19T01:48:00.000-04:00

Hey, kids! It's Julee, back again for another installment of half-witted scribbles and drunken observations! These delectable little drawings were all plucked from an overbearing hangover and 3 continuous days and nights of whiskey-inhaling, running around naked, and unemployment. And before people start get their hipster panties in a knot-- I don't have anything against the Smiths, I just think Morrisey is a ridiculous bastard.

Until next time, brothers and sistas!

-Julee

A taste!

2006-06-14T23:41:00.000-04:00

Hey, kids! I've got three new pages to show you-- there's much more to be seen but I haven't yet had a chance to scan them.

Here are some lovely subculture ladies! Click on them to make them bigger!!!

And, let's not forget the boys. I went to high school with these guys.

That's it for now! Thanks for looking :)

Hey, kids!

2006-05-30T01:47:00.000-04:00

My name is Julee Gardner and I am a 20 year old high-school-drop-out, bartender, and cartoonist. I started this blog with the intention of spewing my artistic debauchery (some like to call it talent) upon the vast placenta known as the "internet". Through this and future posts I hope to share with you all some of my latest doodles and comics. So, kiddos, have fun ogling my crap!

There's more in store for ya next week, kiddos!

Much love,
Julee R. Gardner
