speaking of heroes...

doodled while watching this week's Lost. this came out. digitally recreated it and submitted it for crit on threadless. probably will never be anything. would it be lame to admit that the color scheme is based off some shoes i have? a shirt to match them would be nice.



headed home to watch Fur and Battlestar Galactica now. enjoy your saturday.

sneak peek at my new site with work I haven't posted here or anywhere yet.

i'm sitting right on the brink of two pieces that i'm pretty excited about -- if they turn out how i picture them. i think they will. before or after that i will be drawing and submitting a handful of shirts to threadless. would like to have one picked and use the money for a new laptop as mine is a brick with a hard drive attached. i'm thinking this could happen. as long as i think it, than it can. it's like thought sigils.

the collaboration that the previous post was apart of is done. only 1 of the pieces got finished. there is a chance the others will get done in the future. until that time, i have an increased interest in coloring/finishing them myself. they are last in the queue.

hellboy library edition vol. 1 came in the mail this afternoon. pretty amped to reread those trades in a larger format + new sketch books and junk. i hope it includes the extra stuff from the trades as well so that i don't have to buy trades to go with my issues and hardcover. that would just be silly.

also: started clearing out my pack rat den of goodies. many things are getting thrown out. magazines i was keeping for some future rereading. junk. etc. for the big move i would like to have a small bundle of clothes, a new laptop, some drawing supplies, some comics and a little pile of cash.

i was going to say more tomorrow, but Lost is finally back. so, probably not.

Day 3

The colors were getting to be too much for me on the previous version. I played with it some more today. Then I decided I would try a 3-color approach like I used on the Gocco prints. Then, if it calls for it, I may add a 4th. I'm still just toying with this. Currently uninspired, and this is what happens.

process day 2:



i was using pink to block in shadows on the clouds and when i finally zoomed out i really liked the way it looked... so this will probably end up looking way different than it does in these two shots.

that's it.
