REALLY DORKY
REALLY DORKY began innocently enough when, staring frustratingly at the growing stack of barely used sketchbooks in my studio, I asked myself this simple question... how much time would it ACTUALLY take me to fill up a sketchbook with sketches?
the answer? MUCH longer than I ever thought it would take! Over 2 years to be exact... well, kind of exact... it took awhile! But I digress...
The premise of REALLY DORKY is to merge the most eccentric of characters with a style of sketching more typically reserved for the artistically hoity toity. Throw in a variety of strange and questionable biographies with their undeniable names you would think came from a really bad game of scrabble, and there you have it!
what started as a sketchbook challenge just for me began to grow into something much much more. As I shared each finished character on social media for all my wonderful friends around the world to enjoy, (love you all, by the way), it didn't take long for me to realize I was onto something special, judging by their enthusiastic reactions.
Eventually I decided to collect all the work together and make a book for everyone to enjoy! It's all there, my ideas, my characters, my humor, and all those sleepless nights totally driven by the challenge to make each character I created that much stranger and funnier than the previous ones!
if you really enjoy humor, and want for something a little bit unique and different than the norm for entertainment, I believe that REALLY DORKY-THE BOOK is for you!
Enjoy each and everyone of the weird and wonderful characters that sprang from my overactive imagination and from my heart. We live in a time where laughter is needed the most, I hope this helps in some small part to those that choose to seek for it!
Live life with laughter, and stay Dorky my friends!
As a way of saying thank you to all the family and friends that have supported me along this journey, I promised that the first 200 books that I sell will have an individual illustration and joke I created drawn on the inside as a special gift from my heart. Please beat me with a Nerf baseball bat if I ever get that idea again! But for those of you who wonder what I came up with, here are a few of the inserted sillies for you to enjoy!
