Illustration, Comics, Animation & more by David Huyck 208-301-4374 I like to draw and make stuff!

Maurice Sendak’s books and drawings have had an unquantifiable influence on the work I make everyday. He was a master.</p> <p>So: thank you, Mr. Sendak, as you sail off to rule as the wildest thing of them all.</p>http://skedrawdles.cloudyco.com/post/22788223203http://skedrawdles.cloudyco.com/post/22788223203Thu, 10 May 2012 11:21:35 -0700sendakmaurice sendakRIPwild thingwhere the wild things areillustration<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3glf8WBc41qz5vibo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://passingclouds.cloudyco.com/post/22329210813/ive-been-toiling-away-at-many-many-busy-projects">davidhuyck</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I’ve been toiling away at many many busy projects, and I’m finally popping my head up to go out to Toronto for <a href="http://torontocomics.com/">this year’s TCAF</a>. It’s the best thing of its kind every year, and I love it so much I can’t describe. I’m sitting at table 153, back by the base of the stairs, beside the lovely wishing pond and several good friends, and potential new friends, like a few of the Adventure Time fellas!</p> <p>I’ll have gobs of things (assuming I get all my baggage to come all the way to Toronto with me) such as: new t-shirts, new doodle/activity books (plus a DELUXE edition), a new <a href="http://wattamelon.com/">mini-comic</a>, new buttons (and how!), a reprint of my <a href="http://cloudyco.com/2010/05/three-bears/">Three Bears comic</a> along with the usual pile of gorgeous prints from <a href="http://cloudycollection.com/">Cloudy Collection</a>, a few original drawings, and maybe some on-the-spot custom doodles, <em>just for you?</em></p> <p>On Sunday afternoon, May 6, I’ll be doing a tag-team <a href="http://torontocomics.com/news/kids-programming-tcaf/">Simple Characters drawing workshop</a> for kids with Melissa Mendes. Come find us on the second floor from 3:45-4:30!</p> <p>I love this show. It really is the most fun I have at this type of thing. I come home exhausted, but so thoroughly inspired to make more stuff, which is great, since I’ll be working on my next book with <a href="http://kidscanpress.com/">Kids Can Press</a> for the rest of the summer!</p> <p>(via <a href="http://cloudyco.com/2012/05/tcaf-2012/">TCAF 2012! • David Huyck’s illustration & design: cloudy/co llc</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://skedrawdles.cloudyco.com/post/22329235294http://skedrawdles.cloudyco.com/post/22329235294Thu, 03 May 2012 11:16:56 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sts7F0TQ1qlhqbco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wattamelon.com/post/21455245020/post-it-doodle-i-just-got-the-new-nancy">wattamelon</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Post-it doodle.

I can’t remember the exact year I did this drawing, but I’m thinking 1990 or so - the summer between jr. high an high school. My friend Scott’s parents gave us the walls of their drywalled garage to draw a mural onto. Scott had some books from the Dick Tracy movie and the Tim Burton Batman movie, so I drew some of our favorite characters up on the walls, and Scott and I colored them in.</p> <p>Scott emailed recently to let me know his parents were replacing the garage, but that they had saved some of the art in the process - obviously some kind of investment. Someday they can sell the drawings and take their earnings all the way to a Walgreens to buy a pack of gum.</p>http://skedrawdles.cloudyco.com/post/20425339996http://skedrawdles.cloudyco.com/post/20425339996Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:06:21 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ajac3h3w1qewiewo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Moebius was a genius.
