cartoons vs fine art

i have a real passion for cartoons and sometimes i call it the under estimated art because you go into a fine arts gallery and some of the art is real abstract and look really cool then you got your landscapes and the other art looks like something a 4 year-old does with finger paint. now don't get me wrong, i know colors are the expressions of how your feeling inside as a artist, but when i draw cartoons i do the same thing. i may not be expressing myself with splats of colors but i'm putting them into my cartoon characters. like what it's doing in action and in facial expression.

 by the way, I am American and I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. i know in other places places on the other side of the world or Nation... even state, may view this topic differently, but here in my home town this is how it is.


Anyways, for the past 3 years i've been painting vinyl records. at first when i started i was doing music related designs and whatever i came up with, but after like 6 months i started to do alot more cartoons. like a mix of Old 40's cartoons to what you see on tv today. i've always wanting to work in the cartoon world since i was 5 and it's still a dream. i never worked for a company before and i just do these for fun.
here are some cartoon paintings i did on vinyl records.  paintings featured are  family guy- drunkin irish dad, regular show- mordecai, snoopy and the red barron, earthworm jim, darkwing duck, tex avery cartoon-billy boy,  inspector gadget- brain, blue falcon and dynomutt,  wacky racers- dick dastardly, cookie monster, hong kong phooey and ren and stimpy 

Enjoy! -ViXX

my personal favorite drawings

Hello peoples that actually came across my blog and want to read it, and good bye to the people that got the wrong page and close it as soon as you get on. I have been drawing a lot lately and that's due to my computer being down for about 2 months. I guess for anyone that would be such a bad thing, but for me it was... yeah it was bad. So during that time I had to give myself entertainment. i did some flashback thinking and asked myself "when was the last time i didn't have a computer?" turns out last time there was no computer in the house was during the 90's. So I felt like a kid again having cartoons go one in the back round and me drawing. It actually was kinda cool getting that vibe again, i came up with some great new ideas that I will share here and were ever you find the username ViXX313. these are some of my personal favorite drawings i came up with during the computerless down time. hope you peoples enjoy them -ViXX
