Upcoming Headstatic Contest News!


Hey hey everyone! Although this will be a really short blog post it’s still worth reading. Why you ask? Simple…CONTEST TIME!

Next week I will be announcing all the cool details of my 2nd annual “Name my sketchbook contest!” I will also post the original illustration that will be awarded to the winner along with some other grand news. But in the meantime be sure to put on your thinking caps and give me a super clever awesome name because not only could you win an original illustration from yours truly but it could also make you famous.

Like really really famous.

Keeping with the headstatic tradition, whenever I don’t have any art to post, I resort to posting photos of my super secret celebrity girlfriend Scarlett Johansson. The photo above is of course from the upcoming Iron Man 2 film with hits theaters May 7th. Scarlett will be playing the role of the Black Widow, who is one of, if not my favorite Marvel femme fatale.*

Enjoy and be sure to check back soon for all the contest details.

*Editor’s note: this marks the first time Jason has mentioned that Scarlett will be playing the Black Widow without going into a geek seizure and passing out.

Sketch Card Giveaway Contest Part 2

Ok guys and gals (rawr) it’s time for second installment of my Twitter sketch card giveaway contest! That’s right folks you have another chance to win a sketch card from yours truly. The last winner was located in Canada and received a nifty Elektra sketch card featured in this post.

Now I bet you are asking yourself “How the hell do I enter already?” Ok ok chill out or hold your horses or cool your jets or whatever it is you need to do to calm down. The instructions are listed below and are so easy it’s ridiculous. Ridiculous I say!

1. Login into Twitter (if you don’t have an account…well get one…duh)
2. Follow me http://twitter.com/manji675
3. Tweet the following message only once: @manji675 I want that sketch card!

Please be sure to include the @manji675 because otherwise I probably won’t see your tweet. And by probably I mean I won’t see it.

That’s it! How much easier could it be?

I will randomly select the winner by reaching into my magic hat of delight and will then send that person a direct message asking for their mailing address. Oh also as before if Scarlett Johansson enters (hey you never know) this contest will be void and she will win.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Good luck everyone!

Figure Drawing, Contest, & You

Greetings all, just thought I would drop in and upload a few sketches and studies. First up is a sketchbook doodle of a witch I did last night whilst (that’s right I said whilst) watching the History channel. I was going to make a joke and say it was an artistic interpretation of my gal with PMS, but wisely thought better of it. Or did I? Muwhahahahaha!

The other drawings below are studies from my figure drawing session at the Charlotte Art League over the weekend. I’m doing my best to do as much figure drawing as I can lately, because I’ve noticed that my confidence has been growing as a result. I’m a firm believer that confidence is one of the most important attributes that an artist can possess because if you approach a piece in a timid uncertain manner, the piece will reflect it.

I’m also a firm believer that everyone reading this should subscribe right now to this blog. You see one of the other most important things an artist can have is fans. Lots and lots of fans, preferably hot busty fans with lots of money.

Oh also don’t forget about my super awesome sketch card giveaway Twitter contest…uh…contest. Click here for full details and click here to follow me on Twitter, which is one of the contest requirements.

Sketch Card Giveaway Contest

Call the neighbors and wake the kids everyone because I have big news! I hope everyone is sitting down because to say that this is earth shattering would be an understatement. Over the next 3 weeks I will be giving away a sketch card drawn, inked and colored by yours truly! That’s right each week you will have a chance to win a sketch card.

Now I’m sure have a ton of questions, like how to enter, where to enter, why would I do this or how I maintain my silky smooth hair. Don’t worry I’ve got you covered. See the contest rules and sordid details below.

Why are you doing this?

Because I love you. I really love you. Its not for shameless promotion like others would have you believe. Its all for love.

How do I enter?

Its really super simple easy. Simply follow me on Twitter and tweet @manji675 I WANT THAT SKETCH CARD! Be sure to both follow me and tweet that phrase.

How is the winner selected?

After one week I will take names of all my followers who entered and randomly select a name from my magic hat of delight. The winner will then receive a direct message from me on Twitter. I will ask for their shipping information and if they are always this lucky.

Anything else I need to know?

That is really it. See I told you it was really super simple easy.   Just be sure to follow me on Twitter because once a winner is randomly selected I will send the winner a direct message to get their shipping information. Oh and if Scarlett Johansson enters the contest will be made void and she will win. End of story.

Also I will be doing this over the next 3 weeks so if you don’t win this time you will still have a couple more chances. Good luck to everyone!

Overdue blog post time

scarcon

Remember when I said I would be back on a regular schedule and things would be back to normal around here very very soon? Of course you don’t! Because its been so long since my last post! I swear people I don’t know how much more crap is going to fall into my life but if it doesn’t let up soon then…I’ll…uh…aw hell I had something clever to say. I think. Maybe. Oh screw it onto the updates.

Ok so my mom was released from the hospital yesterday. The surgery was a success and they are still deciding on how much chemotherapy will be needed if any. For those of you just now finding out about this my mom had colon cancer and the tumor was the size of an orange. Fun. But as I said the doctors are expecting a full recovery, which is of course great news. Needless to say that was taking a ton of my time and stressing me out but at least things are working out and are now starting to look up.

So that is the big issue that has been going on in my personal life, but don’t think I haven’t been drawing during this time. I will be the first to admit I haven’t done anything of any major significance but I have been filling up sketchbook pages like crazy and..uh…wait. Did I just say “like crazy“? WTF? Here I am Mr. Artsy Fartsy and the best simile I can come up with for a prolific surge of creativity during an emotive exploration of a tumultuous time in my life through my mind’s eye is… “like crazy.” Nice. Really nice.

Anyway I have a bunch of sketchbook pages that I will be posting over the next few days. I just have to take the time to scan them. I hope all of you  (yes all 8 of you) will enjoy them because I have been playing around with a new approach to drawing and sketching. I have really been trying to slow down and take my time trying to capture each subtle nuance with a single flowing line.

Oh did I mention that a lot of the sketchbook pages will have boobs and robots? I didn’t? Well then I should mention that a lot of my new sketchbook pages will have boobs and robots. I just wanted make sure you were still with me and I wasn’t boring you with all this artistic expression crap. Don’t get me wrong I love the beauty of a clean illustration and I could go on and on about it. But boobs and robots is why you’re here and I aim to please.

I will be posting that as well as a couple of other surprises over the next couple days so be sure to check back in with me or better yet just subscribe to this blog. You will find that this blog will not only bring joy to your life but it will also bring joy to those around you.

Now to follow the tradition of this blog whenever I don’t have any art to post I post a picture of my super #1 crush Scarlett Johansson.

See you on the other side whatever that means.
