Daily Crapbook

Again, nothing new today as I'm working on two jobs right now. Here's an unused design sketch from one of them.

Back From Mexico

Nate and I have returned from the honeymoon, and that means back to work. But before I *really* get back to work, I want to post some amazing inspired drawings that I did on vacation! Actually though, and unfortunately, all of those amazing inspired drawings are actually lazy half-assed embarassing drawings, so nothing is really "postable" at this point. So I dug up some old rejected sketches I did for a CNLa job because I need to post *something* for gossake. At least it Mexican-themed!

MARRIED!

It is done! See you in a week!

Finished!

At last! My 2008 portfolio is up on my website. Three years late, but better late than never.

Nobody called me a lazy bastard (on my blog at least) so I deem this experiment a success.

,,,Almost There

The portfolio is nearly complete! I'm only coloring a few drawings for my "Primal Concepts" page, and then it will be up. Here is a sample of the bits I'm doing- a pirate girl from a show Primal pitched to Cartoon Network. It didn't get picked up, but at least I got to design some fun characters.

Lost the Ultimatum

Well, its well into Saturday night and I didn't finish my portfolio. But I only have four pages left to go, and I'm pretty sure I'll finish it tomorrow, so the week wasn't a total loss. Here is picture of some dude- I had this sketch for a long time and decided to try something with it.

Still Portfolio-ing

Don't call me a lazy bastard yet- I'm about halfway done, I swear! The hardest part is figuring out what I ought to toss out and what I ought to keep. Some artists can't stand the sight of their old work, but I weirdly prefer a lot of my old stuff to what I have done lately. I feel like every time I learn something new, my brain chucks out something in order to make room. These pages from my old, outdated portfolio show what I mean. Even though these drawings are crude and unrefined, there's a fun looseness about them that my current art lacks. I am tempted to keep these pages in, but my brain is telling me to make room for newer stuff. These pages had three years to get me someplace. Maybe the drawings I replace them with will be more of a success. I'll just look at these pages a bit longer and try to remember how to draw this way...

Marriage On The Mind...

...or "Brides On The Brain"! I didn't get much portfolio-ing done today, as I had to bake an emergency batch of peanut butter cookies. But I did sketch in my crapbook about an event that has me preoccupied.

Ultimatum

Keep an eye on me- because if I don't suck it up and have a new portfolio up by the end of Saturday, please call me a lazy lazy bastard. I have some good excuses for not having it done already, but excuses are just excuses. So..here's a guy holding a sharp thing.
