     This section provides information about some of the artwork created for the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 7.  Unpublished artwork from the All-New Series 7 and some of the previous All-New Series is also included in this section.  The artwork shown in this section was provided by the following Garbage Pail Kids artists: Tom Bunk, Layron DeJarnette, Luis Diaz, Brent Engstrom, Dave Gross, Jay Lynch, Mark MacAulay, Mark Pingitore, John Pound, and Fred Wheaton.  The information below describes the sketches and paintings that are shown above.
• Item 1:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 1a Ty Dee Knot and 1b Ty Dee Knot.
 
Notes:
  The original sketch had hearts floating around.  The bride was originally on the right, and the groom was originally on the left.  The painting was supposed to be of Brent and his wife, and Brent began working on the All-New Series 7 artwork about a week after he got married.
• Item 2:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 3a Offense Spence and 3b Rebound Roy.
 
Notes:
  The hole in the character's neck was painted like a basketball's air valve.  The gap in the character's teeth runs along the same line as the basketball's seams.
• Item 3:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 5a Space Chase and 5b Cosmic Ray.
 
Notes:
  The concept is a parody of the superhero Silver Surfer.  The final painting included a diaper on the character.
• Item 4:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 7a Drew Drool and 7b Flood Ted.
 
Notes:
  Brent added the skull and crossbones on the character's T-shirt because the character was killing in his sleep.
• Item 5:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 9a Deodor Brent and 9b Roll On Rob.
 
Notes:
  The original concept was of a kid licking someone's armpit, but the concept was changed so that the character looked more like a stick of deodorant.  The overall design of the character was based on Speed Stick deodorant.  Brent was originally going to put "Spit Stick" on the character, but he ended up going with "Speed Lick".  Brent wrote "Deodor Brent" on the sketch as a suggestion for one of the character names.
• Item 6:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 10a Spartan Martin and 10b Warrior Warren.
 
Notes:
  This concept is a parody of the movie 300.  The expression on the character's face was changed to make him look more comical.  The character's tongue was changed, so that an arrow could be going through it.
• Item 7:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 12a Vinny Son and 12b Deer Hunter.
 
Notes:
  The character in the original sketch was just a kid, but the kid was changed to a hunter for the final painting.  The other animal heads hanging on the wall were excluded from the final painting.
• Item 8:
  Fred Wheaton sketch (on the top-left) and Brent Engstrom sketch (on the top-right) and painting (on the bottom) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 14a Coral Carson and 14b Cora Reef.
 
Notes:
  Brent changed the crab for the final painting, so that it was pinching the character's finger.  Brent added his initials and Fred's initials on the seashell in the lower-right corner, but the shell ended up getting cropped off of the card.
 
Notes on Fred Wheaton's sketch:
  (at top): GPK is made of coral - part of an undersea reef - sea plants and creatures all through him/her, covered with barnacles.
 
(on right side): FW 9-7-07.
 
Suggested Character Names: Barnacle Billy and Cora Reef.
• Item 9:
  Mark Pingitore sketches (on the left and on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 15a Prime Nate and 15b Sim Ian.
 
Notes:
  Mark's original concept sketch of the character was created back in 2005.
• Item 10:
  Dave Gross sketch used for the All-New Series 7 cards 16a Ceiling Fran and 16b Head Les.
 
Notes on Dave Gross' sketch:
  (at top): GPK ANS7 ceiling fan - Dave Gross 8/07.
 
(at bottom): GPK boy on a ladder changing a light bulb as the fan blades take his head off carrying it around.  Blood flinging everywhere.
 
Suggested Character Names: Ceiling Fran and Rotary Blaine.
• Item 11:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 17a O.J. José and 17b Juiced Jayden.
 
Notes:
  The original sketch had the character's left hand in the juicer.
• Item 12:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the top) and painting (on the bottom) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 18a Cooper Pooper and 18b Dung Beetle Bailey.
 
Notes:
  The original sketch had beetles that had cartoonish facial expressions.
• Item 13:
  Mark Pingitore sketch (on the left) and Luis Diaz painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 19a Ice Cole and 19b Stuck Buck.
• Item 14:
  Brent Engstrom sketches (on the top-left and on the top-right) and painting (on the bottom) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 20a Peter Puker and 20b Web Head Ned.
 
Notes:
  The original sketch had a "Daily Puker" sign in the background.  The newspaper shown in the final painting has the "Daily Puker" printed on it, and Brent painted a very small portrait of his twin brother on the newspaper.  The Spider-Man character is reading a review of the Spider Man 3 movie.  Doctor Octopus, the character in the background robbing a bank, was added last minute.  The character in the final painting has five toes on his right foot.  Garbage Pail Kids characters are only supposed to have four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot.
• Item 15:
  Mark Pingitore sketch (on the top) and Luis Diaz painting (on the bottom) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 22a David Choppin' Squeal and 22b Todd Da!

  Mark Pingitore sketch (on the left) and Layron DeJarnette painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 23a Gator Abe and 23b We Winnie.
• Item 17:
  Dave Gross sketch (on the top-left) and Tom Bunk sketches (on the top-right and on the bottom-left) and painting (on the bottom-right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 24a Killer Wally and 24b Chum Charlie.
 
Notes on Dave Gross' sketch:
  (at top): GPK ANS7 Shamu - Dave Gross 8/07.
 
(on left side at top): Shocked crowd.

(on right side): Metal fencing & concrete barriers.

Notes on Tom Bunk's sketches:

(at bottom of the sketch shown on the bottom-left): Killer Wally.
• Item 18:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 25a Britney Shears and 25b Claire Cut.
 
Notes:
  The concept for the character was based on the incident where Britney Spears shaved her head.  The character originally had a shirt with "oops." printed on it, and the character had a lipstick kiss tattoo on her wrist just like Britney Spears.  Those details were not used because Topps did not like them.  Brent did not know that blood could be used in the All-New Series 7 paintings, and he added it in after he found out it was ok to use.  Brent wrote "Britney Shears" on the sketch as a suggestion for one of the character names.
• Item 19:
  Mark Pingitore sketch (on the top) and Luis Diaz painting (on the bottom) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 26a Waft Wyatt and 26b Windy Wendell.
 
Notes on Mark Pingitore's sketch:
  (at top): GPK fan.  Fan is GPK's head.  Brains blowing out of front of fan.  Could add a person cooling off from fan covered in guts.
• Item 20:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the top) and painting (on the bottom) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 27a Dog Troy and 27b Michael Victim.
 
Notes:
  The character names for this sketch were based on the incent where the NFL football player Michael Vic was arrested for holding dog fights.  The dog on the left was based on the dog Brent had when he was growing up.  Brent's dog's name was Tyson, and the dog in the painting has a dog tag with "Tyson" on it.  Unfortunately, Topps cropped off the dog tag for the print version of the character.  The dog of the Garbage Pail Kids series editor, Jeff Zapata, is on the right of the painting.  Brent wrote "Chew Roy" on the sketch as a suggestion for one of the character names.
• Item 21:
  Mark Pingitore sketch (on the left) and Layron DeJarnette painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 28a Glass Blow Joe and 28b Gas-Blowin' Owen.
• Item 22:
  Mark MacAulay sketch used for the All-New Series 7 cards 29a Eye Scream Lee and 29b Scooped Shannon.
• Item 23:
  Brent Engstrom sketch (on the left) and painting (on the right) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 30a Foamy Phil and 30b Shave Dave.
 
Notes:
  Brent did a self-portrait for the person that was getting barfed on.  Instead of just writing "shaving cream" on the Garbage Pail Kids character's chest, Brent put "Barfasol", which was supposed to be like a Wacky Packages-style parody of Barbasol.  Brent wrote "Shaving Kareem" on the sketch as a suggestion for one of the character names.
• Item 24:
  Mark Pingitore sketch (on the top) and Brent Engstrom sketch (in the middle) and painting (on the bottom) used for the All-New Series 7 cards 31a Lyin' Ryan and 31b Tall Tale Tim.
