Home Again Home Again


The trip home was not too bad. Nat and I helped mom with the chores at the cabin this morning before we headed home. Hopefully there wont be too much for her to do when she heads up next. Only one sketch today cause of the travel. I'm working on a layout for a story and this popped in my head for some reason. I like the composition of it. I'm not sure it'll work in the story though. Night All.

Long Day's Powered By Pancakes




Today was a lot of fun I made pancakes this morning which were a big hit. I made muffins with the batter afterwards and those were delicious as well. Everyone enjoyed the wonderful weather today and stayed at the beach from noon till 5ish which was good cause I woke up around 6 o'clock after staying up till 2 o'clock. I got one of my problem scripts all straighted out for a few pages which was good. Today's sketch is of Kaori again it's for a panel I'm working on. I really like the shape of the graphic in the second one. Okay exhausted for some reason. Hopefully the weather hold tomorrow and we can do some water skiing. Night All.

Clear Day Interupted By Painful Fingers



Another perfect day at the cottage it was cool out and clear with a bright blue sky. I got some scripting done or well at least modded a script i had in to a drawable form. I seem to have this problem with accidentally injuring my drawing hand. Mom had this pole that we use up here to put a bird feeder on a high branch. It's on of those metal telescoping poles. In any case as i was collapsing it i wasn't paying appropriate attention and I slammed down on my index finger pinching it so now it's all swollen and has blood blisters on it. I'm just glad i didn't break it. I also seem to function okay post couple hours on ice. Mom has these huge dandelions in a vase on the table at the cabin. I'm totally fascinated by there shape so one sketch today is and abstract of that. The other is a test work up of a sketch that will be a panel in story I'm working on not finished but I'm still playing with they way i want the style to come out . Dad also made it up today which is good the rest of the relatives arrive tomorrow. All in all a good day, despite finger injuries. Night All.

Unacceptably Long Absence



An unacceptably long absence i don't know what to say except that I dropped of the face of the earth there for a bit and I'm sorry for that. Alots gone on since returning home I'll try and cover all that in the next couple posts. For now I have a couple quick speed paints i will try and upload a couple each day for awhile to get my blog all caught up. I'm up north for the annual family cottage vacation. We've more people this year than usual. I think it will be a lot of fun. I hope so. I seem to be attempting to get a little ill recently not sure just tired. I hope to up load each day should be able too, but it's dial up sooo well see. I feels good getting back to posting and i fully expect to get yelled at by everyone for being away for so long. Night All

Short Stories





A short love story. I did this as a multiple experiment. It was done completely digitally sketched on a tablet PC, colored on the computer with a wacom tablet and lettered in Illustrator. In addition this is a good example of a 24 hour comic for me. I really enjoyed scripting it up and drawing it out. Let me know what you think. I will be in Savannah for the next few days. I'm going to try and update with the tablet PC well see how that works out. Night All.

Illness Kicking My Ass


Well last month didn't go so well for posting. I am hoping this month will be better. I'm fighting off an illness of some sort. Hopefully it will be gone soon as I have a lot I want to get done and I currently don't have the focus or energy to do it. Today sketch is a quick paint up of Ulti fighting some well call them mystic robots. I'm thinking they should come out of a can, you know to complete the cliche. Okay off to eat crackers and orange juice. Night All.

Another day another attempt at making dessert. I made an apple stack cake. It came out really well at least visually. I'm letting it fuse it's goodness together overnight, so i'll find out if it tastes good tomorrow. Today's sketch is another quick digital of a japanese lady in traditional dress. The shapes kind of interesting. Night All.

Couldn't Seem To Get Much Done


For some reason while I did a lot today, I didn't seem to get much done. Just one of those days, I guess. Today's sketch is obviously of Barack Obama. It's of him during one of his speeches. I particularly like his line recently about "the okey-doke". I know "the okey-doke". Do you? Night All.

Wow Sleepy


I know I missed posting yesterday and the day before I'm not really sure why I've just been really sleepy lately. Today's sketch is a quick digital paint. I like the energy of it. The colors are a little poppy but I guess it could work with the abstractness of the sketch. Okay headed to bed. Night All.

Speedy Day or Speediest Day


Today just flew bye. I'm not really sure why. No new snow today, but I think there's some on the way. Today's picture is another quick digital sketch. This time it's of one of my characters Kaori. I like the angle and the way the glasses came out. Night All.

OMG So Much Snow!


It snowed so much last night. Well about 6 inches or so. I only note this because it was about 50 degrees the previous day and rainy so our 6 to 8 inches had all but completely melted away. The snow was really cool though it was perfect packing snow with the consistency of damp sugar. That also made it heavy to shovel. I'm already aching, should have probably taken a break. Today's sketch is a quick digital marker sketch that came out unusually well. Night All.

There Be Dragons


Another from a quick thumbnail. The character looks interesting so I'll probably work him up better at a later date. Tired now. Night All.
