A Long, Hard Summer...

Observation of the day - You have a LOT of free time in the summer.

Actually, let me rephrase that. You have a lot of time that needs filling in the summer. Some people have no problem with that. They take what needs doing - work, school, sports, relaxation, socializing, etc. - and put it into its proper place and time, no looking back.

I, however, find it much tougher to put things into a set schedule. My job aside, trying to schedule school, my upcoming project, and my free time gets jumbled (and it almost pains me to admit I have a LOT of free time)

What's wrong with this you might ask? I don't like free time. Well, TOO much free time anyway. Too much free time turns on me REAL fast, and I get this ugly feeling in the pit of my stomach - like I just ate a 2 pound tub of mayonnaise - and the world starts to drain of color, flavor, spark; the world ceases to hold too much meaning. You're simply puttering around, wasting time.

Don't get me wrong - I'm getting things done, just, not as much as I'd LIKE to be getting done. And I guess that might have been the case for as long as I can remember. I need to start changing the way I think, and instead of focus on how much I'm not getting done (cause let's face it - if I focus on how much I don't get done, I'm only gonna continue to not get stuff done) I should be focusing on what I DID get done and try to build upon that each day. Seems logical to me anyway.

For now though, enough rambling. How about some nerdy fanart? An Orc Warrior from WarCraft:

I just realized I got a lot of stuff to scan in, but it shall get done!

Life in a pocket

I find myself worried from time to time.


I guess it's really only natural - I AM only human.


But to be at a time in my life when I'm supposed to define who I am, and I look around and I see such good art, I find my sense of who I thought I was starting to blur, and I forget that I CAN draw, and I AM good at what I do, and if I stop worrying so much about what other people's art looks like, and starting believing in what it is I can do, I gaurantee that I would be much more productive with myself.





so that's what I've been doing the past couple days.


and it feels good.





Anyway, I've been on a big Marvel stint this week - drawing wolverines, spider-mans, venoms, captain americas, iron mans .I have bc to thank for that. Looking at work from Ramos and Romita, jr.




I guess just a quick sketch and that'll be it for this one:





In the words of the late 70's rock groupd Boston: "Don't stop! Believin'!" You get the idea.

Rock Out With Your...Tablet Out?

hey guys.

long time, no post. I've been kept busy for the past couple weeks with homelife, adjusted living, and too much free time. I'm a glutton for punishment, and I procrastinate like a mad man when I'm presented with the oppertunity to do so. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I've been forced back on track with upcoming assignments and a big project on the horizon.

For the time being, though, I thought I'd show you what has been taking up most of my time as of late:

Highway Jackson, a buddies band of mine is fast approaching their cd release date. How do you describe Highway Jackson to someone? Well, imagine a band that grabs great old rock & roll groups like Led Zepplin, Lynard Skynyrd, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and The Velvet Underground by the balls and runs with it. They say their the bastard children rock left behind. I gotta admit - there's not many bands out there that can take the sound to TRUE old rock and roll, mix it with modern day funk, and make it sound true to its roots. These guys got it. For sure. "Smothered" sings of old love, featuring some great vocals by Lead Singer Kris Rogers. "Train Comin After You" features some blistering guitar work that would make any "Guitar Hero" grimmace, punching forward with a quick bass line and furious drum work that all syncs up better then any locomotive out there.

So, give em a listen anyway. Their CD release date is July 10th. I know it's gonna be jam packed with rockin tracks, and if you're in the new england area, and you manage to catch a show of theirs, be sure to grab a t-shirt, sticker, or other Highway Jackson schwag with yours truelys logo on it.

Support the cause, right?

Until next time.
