The Dawning of a New Age ... hopefully.

Playboy Quagmire

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 22:00:00 +0000

Here's a piece I made for the latest Family Guy art series. I tried to make it in the style of a an old school Playboy comic artist named Erich Sokol. Quality prints should be available soon at http://www.acmearchivesdirect.com/

Senses

Okay. Here are FIVE NEW POSTS! I've been gone a long time because I couldn't find my blog password. But now that I've posted these, I may be running out of pictures! Anyway, this one is based off a still from a sexy Italian movie! Enjoy!

Brothers

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:32:00 +0000

Here's one I did based off a black and white photo my Dad took of me and my brother Mike. I'm usually the most disgruntled looking one. My Dad used to be a sweet newspaper photographer. Lots of my early paintings and drawings were based on his awesome work!

Coney Island

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:19:00 +0000

Here's a pretty recent painting. I liked the black and white photo from the 30's I found. It seemed weird and powerful.

Corporate President

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:14:00 +0000

This was an early attempt at politics in painting. This is how George Washington would have looked if he was President in the 80's (when this painting was made).

Peter's Tijuana Brass

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:10:00 +0000

Here's something I made for a Family Guy art show. It was a crazy idea, manipulating a toy of Peter Griffin, photographing it, then photoshopping it into thefamous Herb Alpert cover.

Red Wine

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:46:00 +0000

This one is very significant because I began this one a long time ago when I considered myself a painter. Then I took a break and had an animation career. Seventeen years later I came back to it. I solved the problem I was having by changing the realistic deep red background into an abstract blueish background with designs drawn on it. Thank you John Singer Sergeant.

Kofi Annan

I'll try to make up my lag in posting by putting up three today. Enjoy!

Chumps

Its been a while. Lets see if anyone still visits my blog. This one's my old cat.

Mom

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Sun, 11 May 2008 18:47:00 +0000

Here's one of my Mom -- in honor of Mother's Day! I cobbled it together from a black and white photo my father took with my vague memory of a wall pattern we grew up with.

Dad

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Sun, 11 May 2008 18:43:00 +0000

Sorry it's been so long since last post, but I was busy okay? This is one I did of my Dad. It shows him in the old days in his dark room surrounded by pictures he took.

Sigur Ros

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:47:00 +0000

I guess I consider this painting ALMOST finished. There's a lot of characters so it takes longer than usual. And I'm learning that I don't like painting such tiny people with shaky hand. This one's a tribute to another of my fave bands - Sigur Ros from Iceland, a country that's supposed to have the greatest public educational system in the world.

Happy Home

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:47:00 +0000

Here's one of the first ones I did that seemed to strike a chord as being the "my style" that I was looking for. Tweaked yet realistic characters in a crooked yet believable universe. Painted in my parents' garage on the first summer after graduating art school.

Writers Strike

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 01:10:00 +0000

Here's a drawing I did during the writer's strike, expressing many of our feelings about the Producers. Here the strike is portrayed using Family Guy characters dressed in "Empire Strikes Back" mode - the sequel I'm currently directing.

I'm gonna take a little break from posting paintings. I don't want to run out of paintings! So here's a few pictures that I think Picasso would have done if he had photoshop and liked Star Wars. . . and was a child.

Janeane Garofalo

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:54:00 +0000

Another one of my favorite people. Janeane Garofalo is the straight talking wiseass chick who always adds a certain attitude and truth to anything she's in. Some of my faves: "Reality Bites", "Mystery Men", "Big Trouble", and "The Matchmaker", not to mention her work on the classic Ben Stiller Show. One of the most articulate voices of my generation. I worked on a student film with her once and still see her in my dreams.

Old Vegas

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:21:00 +0000

This post marks the 2nd page of pictures since starting my blog. To view previous pictures click the archive link to the right, or click "older posts" at bottom. Here's another big one. I wished I had used a bit more maskings to get straight edges. But at least the crooked lines give it a different quality than a photograph would have.

Family Guy/Yellow Submarine

mojobuddy@aol.com (Dominic Polcino) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 07:31:00 +0000

Here's a little something off-topic. Just a fun picture I made for our yearly Family Guy auction. The theme was to do something using film poster designs.
