Hey hey. Not too long ago I was talking about a book that Studio Sunday and I will be publishing to sell at a APE (Alternative Press Expo), this is the first illustration I've done that will be included in the book. My plan is to do more on the same concept, but with me (and my decisive prowess) you never know.

The symbol in the first one means 'Butterfly' at least according to a few sources on the web (so . . .) What's new with me?


Nothing I want to share.

You may have noticed a change in the coloring around here, I got sick of black as a background, and eventually I'll probably get sick of this too.

I took off work on Friday and had a totally awesome day. Thursday night I spent time working on one of my book ideas, and painting for the first time in a long time-while hanging out with Studio Sunday's crew. Then Friday (after seeing Kung Fu Panda for the time-also awesome) the day was so perfect that we went and hung out at the beach for a few hours.
I didn't scan what I worked on Thursday night, but these are a few more tattoo ideas-I think I've decided the tattoo I'm going to get but I don't want to put it up anywhere so that I can be the only one who has it :D

Well I promised color and here it is, I stumbled on these two paintings I made in college in my spare time (I had spare time? Don't remember that). The other thing is a t-shirt design I did for the software engineering group at MSOE. I guess they do a t-shirt every year or something. I think that I'm going to tweak it a little and add it as my first design to threadless.

I'm brainstorming trying to come up with an awesome idea for a bunch of illustrations (and maybe a story too) that I can turn into a book. We shall see where it leads.

I've decided that the next post I make is going to have to have some color in it. But in the meantime - New tattoo design, for anyone who likes birds (I hear swans are vicious, which might be why I like them).

Yay I've been added to Studio Sunday's crew! www.studiosunday.org

I drew this awhile ago with those involved there (and some other people). I was planning on doing a window study series, but so far I only have two. . . and right now only one that I have transfered into the digital world.
