So I was ambling around the living room, trying to think of what to do. Still buzzed from the NY Times thing. Not really interested in reading–a couple of books on hand, but none grabbing me intensely. I have a hard time watching TV and NOT doing something else–TV requires half a brain at most, […]

So…err…Digger got mentioned in the New York Times. I am moderately floored. Admittedly, it was in a discussion of comics better suited to traditional format: “Consider “Copper,” a beautifully drawn animal comic that won the prize for best art in the Web Cartoonists Choice Awards. To see the whole colorful page that Kazu Kibuishi composed, […]
Athena is a good cat, a nice cat, a loving cat, a very cute cat, and dumber than a sack of wet mice. (Now, the late Loki was no Einstein, I’ll admit, but he was smarter than Athena. I still treasure the memory of Athena hiding in a sack on its side, swiping at Loki […]
This doesn’t count as painting, right? Right. http://www.deviantart.com/view/21830416/ This was just random practice at somewhat more cartoony faces, which we’ve established, I’m pretty bad at. You don’t want to know how many crappy malformed heads preceded these. Couldn’t duplicate any of ’em to save my soul, which may defeat the whole purpose. I dunno. And […]
Hey, look what you find when you’re doing work avoidance! http://www.deviantart.com/view/21812078/ This guy was sold at Anthrocon, but because I’m a slacker, I never got him uploaded. Nothing major, just a happy troll and froggy friends.
Today, I’m gonna try not painting. I was not painting already, mind you, but now I’ll do it consciously. No paint for you! And we’ll see if, in my perverse little brain, this generates a desire TO paint, or at least gives me a mental break, so that I’m not starting and dropping paintings like […]
There’s nothing like that moment of realization when you idily google something and realize that hmm, that interesting little snake you saw a month or so back, sunning on the rocks, and prodded delicately with a twig, (from a safe distance*, mind you) to make sure he wasn’t dead (he wasn’t) was none other than […]
Another day of sound and fury, to little effect. Started some neat things, slaved over a figure to put on it, gazed at it, and lost interest. This has been happening for a few days now. I think my brain wants something from me. Hmm. Maybe I should go to the zoo or something. I […]
Holy crap, it’s lunch time already. I did not give the morning permission to leave. Ten ‘o clock slunk out while my back was turned. GET BACK HERE, you vagrant hour! Obviously gonna be one of those days…
Another experiment with scribbly bits! This one’s not terribly inspired as art goes, but since it was basically an excuse to do a number of scribbly textures, I’m not gonna gripe too much. http://www.deviantart.com/view/21775245/ I’m determined to get this scribbly technique beaten into something I can use. I feel like I’ve been hovering on the […]
