yay! i did find some time to color that sketch last night!

it’s a quick coloring job, but still- better then none at all, right? okay, time to get back to important stuff…

hey! haven’t drawn one of these in a long time!

i’m all kinds of busy right now, and any time i do any drawing it tends to be something i have to draw, or something i feel like i have to draw. so yesterday, i felt like taking a break to just draw something mindless and fun and nothing is more mindless and fun to draw then cute little pixies. well, and robots. and robot pixies.

i might try to give this sketch a bit of color tonight if can find the time. we’ll see i guess………

one of my pals slash comic shop managers is putting out a comic of his own this year called average ordinary super-heroes. it’s about a slew of superheroes who would rather sit around playing video games or hanging out at the pub rather than the hard work it takes to go out and save the world every other evening. anyhoo, he asked if i would draw a pin-up for the back of the first issue and, seeing as how he helps compile my reading entertainment every wednesday, i saw no good reason to decline his request. he also told me to make sure some of my characters where in the pinup as well. so that’s his main character, gold eagle, swinging behind my own superhero- captain cow and his incredible grappling udders.

MUSIC! picked up the new black rebel motorcycle club album last week and it is thirteen tracks of pure awesomeness. BRMC has gone from a band that i just sorta liked to a band that i love in a relatively short amount of time. baby 81 is a wonderful listen all the way through, harking back to the familiar sound they built with their first couple of albums but at the same time adding the melodic strengths they grew on their previous record, the equally wonderful HOWL. the album also causes some strange nostalgia for what american rock-n-roll use to sound like. so how excited was i to find out they are going to be just a short drive away in orlando in june? very excited! woohoo! it’s concert time again!

…and what he does is brew a mean earl grey.

for drawergeeks this week. topic was wolverine (obviously). this is only the second time i’ve ever drawn wolvie. the first time was a scribble on some bible study notes that i still think is the cutest wolverine i’ll ever draw. i tried to match the cuteness as best i could, but the little doodle just has so much more of a huggable quality to it. played around with a new brush in photoshop on this too. it was fun. i might use it again for when i start coloring my cow & buffalo comics this summer.

i just (finally) updated the parable site with the cover for the anthology:

the idea for the cover came from matt yokom and is based on matthew 5 :14-16 :

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

there might still be some tweaks done to it before it sees print, but this is pretty much it. for those that would like a larger version of it you can download a 1200px version here. while i was at it, i decided to also make one desktop size that you can download here.
