Still Working with the King

By on Sep 20, 2023

  It’s been a minute since I’ve been this excited about drawing. It isn’t the best drawing mind you, but I’m pretty fired up. It’s like reading a good book that you just don’t want to put down. It’s a feeling I’ve missed.     I haven’t had alot of time to work on it but it has still been taking up space in my mind. I keep finding myself going over to my sketchbook occasionally and just taking a quick peek at it.     It’s getting pretty close to completion and I’m already searching for new ideas. I’m kind of thinking it might be Hooty, the Owl House, but maybe The Collector would be good for this kind of treatment. One of the things I’ve been wanting to focus on more is fur. I’ve been spending hours just staring at the dog’s fur trying to figure out the best way of drawing...

All Hail King Clawthorne

By on Sep 12, 2023

  Heh?!? Yeah it’s been a little while. I got a little burnt out and ran a bit low on inspiration. Summer has come to an end and I’m starting to shift gears. We just closed out year two of amazing summers. My kids are getting older and more independent. That allows me more freedom in the summer to shift my hours and ultimately spend more time with them.   Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and school is back in session. The upside is I’ve been thinking more about art and drawing. My youngest and I have been watching Owl House. It’s a fun show. One of the characters, King, shares a voice with the bad guy from Gravity Falls.     He’s a pretty simple character and I had fun knocking this one out. I might try and take the drawing a little further but this is where it stands right now. I did clean it up incase I decide to color it...

Rocky Times at the Beach

By on Aug 24, 2023

  This is year 2 of amazing summers for me. Last year I was able to shift my summer hours to start early in the morning and therefore finish my workday when most people are going to lunch. That, in combination with a County Parks pass, has resulted in long days at the beach and plenty of fun in the sun. My youngest daughter appears to be half-fish and loves the water so I always have a beach buddy.     I’ve been amusing myself by making sculptures at the beach.     Pretty sweet, right? I should point out, if not evident from the pictures, that these cairns are in fact very tiny. Most are only 2 cm at most. Despite the National Park Service’s advisement against creating them, I’ve been making them all over the beach.     I’m sure some fascist park ranger has been destroying them after I leave because they are no longer there the...

Psychos in the workplace

By on Aug 18, 2023

We all work with psychos, whether we know it or not. Occasionally they will out themselves, but usually they will just fly under the radar. We have one person who likes scaring people with toy mice and spiders. The amount of time this person invests in this is truly inspiring. They instinctually, or through study, have figured out the most effective methods for scaring people. For example, while relieving myself in a shared bathroom I noticed a roll of toilet paper had fallen from the stack of extras. I bent down to pick it up. Right as I was about to grab the toilet paper roll I saw a large black spider. It was perfectly positioned so I couldn’t see it until I was bent over and a little off balance. I jumped, smacked my head against the wall but luckily didn’t fall over. It was a plastic toy spider but I didn’t know that. My lizard brain reacted and I’m luck I...
