Playing Mass Effect 2 has been taking up a fair amount of my spare time these last few days. I’m enjoying it a lot, especially all the stuff (both big and little) that carried over from the first one. For example, I got a kind message in ME2 from someone who I talked down from committing suicide in a little side quest in ME1. Crazy. Also, I bought the space hamster.
Some painting progress, gotta get ready to show in a pub downtown later this month.
The top two are about finished, the bottom one is still only about 75% there.
Just one funny thing for today, a collaboration between a professional comic artist and his 5-year old brother. Presenting Axe Cop.
This is a comic tribute to that amazing mangy cat that survived despite the number of times it fell asleep right behind my car’s back tires. (I’m against animal cruelty…the cat just had an inexplicable fondness for my car.) To be continued!?
On the internets this week: dinosaurs just got…more awesome. And it’s good to remain…super cool. And here’s the most extreme case of cognitive dissonance I’ve had in a while.
I will be selling this painting on Ebay in order to raise funds for the relief effort in Haiti! My recent unemployment means I had to get creative with some fund-raising. This painting is quite large, at 2 feet by 3 feet. It has a 2″ brown-black simple frame and has hanging wire installed.
Edit: Although the painting didn’t sell, if/when it does, all the proceeds for this painting will go to charity.
More progress! Working titles, in clockwise order from the top left one are: Brush Fire, Mother’s Grasp,Two Frames of Mind, and Life of the Poet.
I’ve been watching this anime, Natsume Yuujinchou, on and off for the last few weeks. I even did a bit of fanart for one of the main characters, Nyanko-sensei (Mr. Meow, haha)
I’ve been getting a lot of work done in the last few days on several paintings. This one is almost finished, it just needs to rest a bit before I put the finishing touches on it.
Here is a mess of paintings (in various stages of completion) that have been waiting for months to be painted. It’s such a relief to get the ball rolling on them.
A few months back, I collaborated with my good friend Eli on some Star Wars comics. These are the pilot strips and more will materialize presently.
As for things I’ve looked at this week…this is funny. (from urban prankster) And gamer cupcakes!
Nells (Thistle and Weeds – Mumford & Sons / Sigh No More)
It’s 2010? It’s 2010. Damn…when did that happen? All right then, coming in 2010, more updates (with 110% freshness!), new paintings and drawings (emphasis will be on illustration and comic-work), and other miscellany! Possibly good times.
< Here’s a painting I’ve been working on that’s almost finished. I intended for it to look more realistic when I started but it went way abstract. I might need to start over on it.
And here’s the vague beginning of a new nightmare painting. >
I know it’s been a while since I updated last. I’ve been struggling to get some projects completed. I’ve begun work on a novel based on my dreams as well as a handful of new paintings, but all of them are moving slowly. I’ll be posting more soon.
The top two are about finished, the bottom one is still only about 75% there.
He’s my favorite.
