This is a favorite song of mine I'd like to share on this holiest of Hallmark days. It's probably my favorite love song ever, so enjoy this audio only Youtube file of Peter Murphy's - Strange Kind of Love

I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight

It's been a long fucking time eh me Droogies? Well, I had a good winter holiday but now I'm back in to work. It feels good to have a loose structure back in my day to day business. I'm currently directing my first episode at work and so far that's working out pretty good. I'll even be animating this time around.

The lovely lady to the left is the same girl I attempted to draw from memory here. Since I now have her on my facebook, I had adequate and permitted use of her pictures to do her graven justice! I'm still not sure I got her, so I'll be drawing her again in the near future.

What else can you expect in 2008? 3 or 4 of my 10,000 days project posters, the first one should be done soon. Some stuff for my new comic book project.......and some Marvel Sketchcards later in the year. I'm doing 50 cards for upperdeck and I'll post those once my NDA gets the all clear.

And that's it for now.

Make Your Own Kind of Music

I bought a bunch of discount markers today. Big sale, I cleaned house. So expect some color on this blog o' mine in marker form.

I wrote a bit of rant in this post about why I like Suicide Girls and why I wouldn't turn away someone who didn't look like them. Came out kinda faggy so I deleted it 'cept for this tidbit cause it's fuckin' brilliant.

Pierced Nipples Not Required, but Preferred.

We Don't Care About the Young Folks

Hey Gangsters,

I've been drawing/studying Cory Walker today. If you don't know who this comic prodigy is, then check him out. Why do I like him? Well at the risk of sounding like I have a man-crush, I really dig the simplicity this guy throws down. I'm sure it's hard to do, but damn does he make it look easy. It's distinct, effective and flexible. Three things I need to work on and will probably work on, all my artistic life.

Needless to say, here's some photo-ref drawings with my attempt to Walkerfy them. Not really Walkerish, but the simplicity is coming along. Faces are deceptively easy, but I still need to work on eyes. Damn those eyes!

Included in this bevy of beauties are two fashion models, a high school crush, and my muse for life, Shannyn Sossamon.

Hey gang,

Hope you're all having a good Thankgiving or Columbus Day(observed) out in interweb world. Here's some damage from the last Drink and Draw. Some Venture Bros and a cute girl I met at a recent convention whom I drew from memory.

Thanks to everyone who visits and appreciates this blog. I have a seven day project on the way.

Peace, bitches.

Divorced/Something in the wind

Two bits today. First up, this is one pic of three done for a special Vicious Ambitious sketchbook available for free at this year's Calgary Con-Version. For those uninitiated, it's a sci-fi/fantasy convention held here in Calgary every August. Me my comic book gang, Vicious Ambitious will be attending one or more panels on Sunday. Sunday only folks, but if you are interested in anything else at the convention, do go for longer! I hear there's even a slave auction.

The second item being that I divorced myself from my comic book store of almost two years now. I closed my file there today and it was a touch sad me chumleys. Since I got my file, there's almost always been something missing or something that doesn't belong in there. I decided that enough was enough. Not to slight the store itself or the clerks that work there, but the point of getting a file is to get the stuff you want held and ready for selling the instant you walk in. That said, I was not getting the most of my file.



Woo. What a vent.

Oh! Third Secret Item! My busted Ankle is like 98% better. I can finally get back to working out on Tuesday! Yay! Turkish Sit-ups!
