joe randel's art dump

So I’ve come down with the flu. Ugh… Had to call in and miss a day of work too. I guess I’ll try to relax with some hot chocolate and try and kick this thing.

So how did I learn to tame the pencil? Well, I think it comes naturally to me. See, my Mother is an artist and my Father is woodworker/craftsman so to work with my hands and esthetics feels very normal to me. While I always knew I could draw, it wasn’t until I was a young teen that I started to take an interest in it as a career. My high school teacher took my under his wing to teach me properly so I could make it in to what ever art school I chose. I decided to venture in to the world of animation. After high school I went to college and spend two fantastic years learning and training to be a classical animator. What that means is that I’ve been trained in traditional hand drawn animation rather than flash or computer. My life took me in to the world of video games rather than feature films though. A choice I don’t regret. I’ve worked in games for well over a decade now and still love it. I do wonder what my life might be like if I followed the other path in to film. Animation is something that I truly love and with the rise of amazing animated films… my heart does burn for the other side of things.

Oh well… maybe in the next life. Until then, I’ll have a blast doing what I do. ^_^

Hey everyone! Once upon a time I used to make posts everyday regarding me, my daily life and such. I miss doing that, but at times I felt like things were a little forced or I might have been starved for a topic. So, what I think I’m going to do is start up a post tread called Learn About Me Monday! Every Monday (hopefully) I’m going to make post that lets you in on who I am or what I do… or have done. There might be lots of people here that might be new to who I am so this will help bring them up to speed and maybe be a fun read. I’ll try not to make these too long.

So… hello there, my name is Joe Randel. Truth be told, that’s not my real name. I devised it up a long time ago so I could draw my internet porn in secret. How long ago? I’d say close to 15 years ago. Yup, I’ve been drawing naughty pictures for 1 1/2 decades! I’ve actually been drawing toon porn since I was 12 or 13. When you are a horny kid and you realize you can draw your own porn… man… you go for it. I’ve always been interested in the human body, especially the female side. I remember that all I wanted to do was see a vagina, but until that time I knew all I could do was draw them. I started drawing Betty and Veronica pics for myself and then branched out in to Babs Bunny, Gadget Hackwrench, Rebecca Cunningham and such. It wasn’t long before I read in a Comic Scene magazine an article about Omaha the Cat Dancer. I saw that and realized that was totally my jam. An adult comic about a cat girl strip dancer? Yes please! Time passed and I sort of stopped drawing that stuff, but when I got to college and my first computer I saw that others were drawing toon smutt too, I decided I wanted in. Cheetah here at The JAB Archives gave me a home for my art and has ever since. So if you’re looking for a back log of my art you can always find it here. Anything that gets put up on other sites gets archived here. Since then I’ve drawn all kinds of characters. I’ve made my own originals, but I really love to draw popular established characters. I guess because that’s where all this stems from.

Over the years I’ve seen a lot of artists come and go. I’ve slowed down over the years too, but I still love to draw sexy art and don’t see me going away any time soon. So, that’s a quick run down of me with regards to what I draw and why. If anyone has any questions regarding this, feel free to ask.

Till next week everyone. ^_^

One of the Tinkerbell tumblrs I follow found and posted a link to an uploaded streamed version of the new Legend of theNeverbeast movie. I of course ran over and downloaded it but I’ve yet to watch it. The movie doesn’t get released until March 3rd and so I’m waiting till then to view it. I got it because I really want a digital version and sometimes the one I get doesn’t have a code for one. I am super excited to fully scope out the new Fawn and scout fairy designs though.

Of course I own Tinkerbell for Disney Infinity and of course this is the kind of picture I would take of her.

So while I was on vacation at Disney world I saw lots of things that I didn’t buy. Partly because I’m cheap, partly because I didn’t really see anything that I wanted to take home. You see, they don’t really market Tink stuff to guys so I really have to look to see if there is anything I really want to bring home. Usually I’m overly picky on looks, meaning the character can’t look off model. If they do I usually walk away. Not before I at least take a picture. These are some shirts that had some nicely draw Tinks. Especially, the one on the right. Pretty damn sexy. want to see other things I didn’t buy? Follow the link and see.
