Cyclops. just flexing some new techniques i've been working on....

Working Space

i've tried every spot in the house, to find a place to draw. and this seems to be the only one where nobody actually bothered me. oh, they would come in, look, and quietly leave. imagine, do you want to bother someone that has set up thier studio, in a walk in closet? a small one at that. that person has been chased from every reasonable place to draw and this is the is the last stop.

the great thing, i'm getting more stuff done in the closet, sitting on a bucket, with an oversized clipboard, than i did with a real professional setup. but hey, i ain't got it like jim lee....yet. ;)

peace out

Working Back...

at being lazy. i hate my job sometimes. but i like paying my bills. been trying to get mt stuff together, but it's been murder. but i finally got a break and was able to hook up with some friends, get out of the house, and just draw. friends you say? yes Deth and Fig, who i just call josh, and D. hit me up and asked if i'd like to join them for a few hours at starbucks and draw. it's something we talked about at the 2007 SDCC, but i never was around for it. (work again) however Josh and D have been hitting it off in my absense, and the duo has become a trio. hopefully it could become a full on art jam here in SDCC city. so until we can hook up again i had a great time, and i must thank D for rockin' the "art rock star" look, and gettin us some free latte's YEA!!! and even if they don't know, the awesome ladys at Satrbucks for hookin' up the pastries. thanks again ladies. and to Josh for trackin' me down and never stop fightin' for the dream.

Faction, fianlly i've been able to get things right and start gettin'g back into these characters. as any artist knows, on, off, on, off, and on again is akiller for creative juices. and that's where i'v been. i needed some stability and i got it back, today. and i was able to crank this out.

this is Zephan, one of the "Enlightened Knights" of Faction. i could ramble on about who he is and what he does, but you'd be better served going to his, as well as my new home, BeardedLady.com, to get the details. and while your there harass Erik. he likes it. lol

enjoy and see you soon .

peace out

21st century is here

My first wacom!

i've used one before, a graphire, but it was a friends, so that one doesn't count. now that i have one, i don't know how i got along without one for so long. i'd speculate to say, drawing was only a hobby, not so long ago. and having one was luxury. but now with a new vision, drive and ambition to make this hobby a serious career, it was time. now to most not so big a deal, but do remeber the first time wacom came into your life? yeah, it's like that for me. and i don't think it'll be the same again.....

also, the sketchs are on hiatus for now. as i'm collaborating on developing a new project, and doing character designs for another. so i'll try to entertain with some old sketchs that i refreshed with wacom. so inks, color...whater comes down the pike.

well gotta get back to drawin'. i'll post the next installment of L&J this wednesday, and a few other things, between now and then.

peace out
