Buzz 079 – Sidewalk Chalk Buzz Lightyear

2 Replies

The kids were outside drawing on the driveway so I figured I’d get involved. This Buzz Lightyear is the result. If he’s not my best work it’s because I was having to keep a 6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy from walking all over it. I can’t do chalk drawings without thinking about Burt in Marry Poppins.

This Buzz says, “I wish they had a bigger driveway. I might have had arms and a torso.”

Once I started drawing, the kids wanted to be right next to me and do their own versions. Jenna did Jessie and J asked me to draw him a Woody… then he finished it in his own style. See them after the jump. Continue reading →

Buzz 077 – Buzz Lightyear Leftovers

4 Replies

The idea for this Buzz Lightyear came out of no where as I was finishing my dinner Thursday evening. I didn’t even think it would be possible but pretty soon, I had what passed for a recognizable Buzz. My kids were impressed anyway.

This Buzz says, “You don’t need no Parmesan cause I got the cheese right here.”

Buzz 076 – Moleskine Notebook Buzz Lightyear

2 Replies

I’ve carried a Moleskine Notebook for a couple of years now. They’re great for putting down ideas and sketches and stuff. Here’s a drawing I did the other day. Nothing special I suppose… but the squiggly lines that surround Buzz is actually just one long line. Some people draw stars when they’re bored… I’ve always filled pages with these maze-like lines that are actually just one line.

This Buzz says, “So what.”

Buzz 074 – French Fry Buzz Lightyear

5 Replies

Here before you is a Buzz Lightyear made from french fries… the healthy part of this balanced breakfast! This was actually an idea given to me by my 6 year-old daughter, Jenna. She was visiting family and did a portrait of her Uncle Tim using her french fries. She’s awesome. She actually does her own podcast for kids. Check it out.

This Buzz says, “Help me. Once he’s done with this photo he’s going to eat me!”

Buzz 073 – Color Blanks Buzz

1 Reply

I was shopping at Target for some Kit-Kat bars and ran into an end cap with these Color Blanks figures from RoseArt. Two of them come in a pack for just under 10 bucks. They reminded me of the  Munny or Mighty Mugg figures… except a few bucks cheaper.

I bought one pack and a bunch of permanent markers and knocked this out Sunday afternoon. I highly suggest you go out and pick a pack up yourself and create something awesome!

This Buzz says, “I could have been shaped like a bird, a dog or have had a square head!”

Buzz 072 – ASCII Art Buzz Lightyear

4 Replies

I made this using Notepad and a keyboard… then Photoshop. I would have liked to have added the actual ASCII art… but apparently my theme adds css style formatting to the pre tag that makes that impossible. Boo.

If anyone knows a way, I would love to share the actual text. Be sure to click the image to make it bigger.

This Buzz says, “I would look better in Windows 3.0.”

Buzz 070 – Abstract Buzz

2 Replies

If I were you looking at this I’d be saying, “Looks like he’s running out of ideas already.” But I assure you that is not the case. I was inspired to do this abstract Buzz after seeing some Street Fighter Abstracts over at infinitecontinues.net. The idea behind the originals is that the characters were so regognizable that you’d know who they were even without any detail… just the colors. I wanted to see if I could do the same thing with Buzz Ligtheyar. So there you go. How did we do?

This Buzz says, “This is what I’d look like if De Stijl painted me. Thank God for Pixar!”
