My Little CrockPot of News and Thoughts

Tonight I drew this while I listened to A Hard Day's Night. Before this evening I hadn't listened to that album in a few years. It was totally rockin'. It was so good, in fact, that when it was over, I threw in Beatles For Sale... Hope everyone has a grand 4th.

I like westerns.

I did this at work a while back. They're not just robots. They're robot KIDS. Brandon Reese, friend and inspiration, has a print up for sale on the Tiny Showcase website. Go now and buy one before they are all sold out.

After falling off the wagon, I've recently climbed back on and completed a quick piece for Illustration Friday this week. The topic is "Black and White" and I drew the first thing that came to mind... well, actually the second. I thought a drawing Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder would be a bit too obvious. Happy Father's Day, Dad!

This is a background from a piece I'm working on at work. I liked the way it was looking, but now, after conversations with others about the overall direction of this project, it was decided to scrap this and go a different route. This background, of an alien planet, will never see that light of day... except here. Click on the image for a closer look.

So the other day I wrote a short story about a frog named Thumbnail. That night I came home and drew some concept sketches for the two characters, a frog and a boy. It was fun. The text in the first image reads: 'Thumbnail: The Tragic story of a Brilliant Frog'.

Ward smacked me with this. So I'm smacking you all with it. Total volume of music files on my computer(s): around 1 GB at work... I had more but then my harddrive got replaced 900MB on my home PC... I listen to a lot of actual cds people... don't judge me... The last CD I bought was: My Mother's Hymn Book by Johnny Cash Song playing right now: "Casimir Pulaski Day" by Sufjan Stevens Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: "Twilight" by Elliott Smith "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys "Hello Dearest Love" by Appleseed Cast "Everyone Is My Friend" by Owls "Pitseleh" by Elliott Smith Passing baton to: Elisa of A Smidgen of Scribbles Brandon of Sketchdump Don Tate of Devas T Received baton via: The Joyful Rev. Ward Jenkins of The First Church of Funk

A few things from the past few days... they just keep getting cruder and cruder...

After having been pigeon holed into only wicked sidekick type roles, the flying monkey became envious of all the working animal actors in Hollywood.
