Lunch Bag Art – Yo-Kai Watch

By on Jul 31, 2017

  Yo-Kai Watch is the weirdest show. The first episode was all about how the grade school boy was caught by a girl coming out of the school bathroom after dropping a deuce. She then goes and tells everybody in the school, totally embarrassing him. As it turns out it isn’t the girl’s fault, she is just possessed by a spirit or Yo-Kai. My oldest has started to really like the show and the dollar store has a huge supply of the toys all for a… dollar. A dollar because it is the Dollar Store, nevermind. So this was my daughter’s lunchbag. A couple posts ago I talked about how it was a special thing just for her, well apparently her bags haven’t gone unnoticed. She told me a girl was being really mean to her asking what made her so special. To top it off the girl’s mom was going to make her lunchbag 100 times better… I feel bad for that poor girl’s mother. Her mom is probably just doing...

Ahh Crap..

Silly Joke

By on Feb 20, 2017

My oldest has just discovered paperdolls. She has been doing origami and then was fascinated by paper planes. I’m hoping she is past the paper planes thing. She was waking up early and folding dozens of planes so when I would come in to wake her up I was met with a barrage of handcrafted missiles. Not my favorite.Anyway, we made a bunch of paperdolls varying in complexity. We made clothes and other decorations. While we were playing I couldn’t help but laugh at my own immaturity.I started a new drawing too. This one is going to take some time so I thought I’d post an early stage. I’m still focusing on line work. Textures and what not…There you go. Until next time…Milwaukee’s Best PrinterGreat Online Printing

Professionally this has been a pretty good year. It has been incredibly challenging, but I’ve learned alot and it has been very rewarding. With the extra hours all of my free time has been dedicated to staying connected to family and making that time spent with them count. Unfortunately I have not been a very good friend. I have neglected most of my friends. When they have needed me over the past year I have tried to be there for them but I’m sure there have been times that I wasn’t. One friendship in particular has probably suffered the worst. That person and his wife have become family friends. We have vacationed together and we have even attended comic book conventions in Chicago. He knows that one of my favorite comic book artists is Skottie Young. I found out about Skottie Young when he illustrated a Wizard of Oz mini-series. I met him at one of the first...

Thanksgiving Greetings

By on Nov 28, 2016

Hey it’s been a while. I haven’t posted anything for a couple weeks so I thought I’d just post a little something. I don’t really know what to write about but Thanksgiving just passed so I suppose that is something.As is usually the case, we spend Thanksgiving with my wife’s family. Her mother likes to have all the family over, so we all cram into her house and hang out for the weekend. The men, of which I am not one, go hunting and watch football. Normally I just hang out, drink beer and try to sneak in a nap or two. This year was a bit different though. My nephews and I went Poké Hunting. We had a great time. I originally started playing Pokémon GO to hang out with them and this weekend was exactly why. The three of us got all bundled up and went out in the chilly weather.We played the game a bunch but we also walked a four mile nature trail that went...

Keeping Up

Hey… uh… hello. How are you doing? I’m fine.Yeah things aren’t bad. Everything is fairly ok. I mean, I’m really busy with work stuff, which is good, but really I don’t have much to write about. I suppose that is good for me but not so much for you, kind reader/internet robot.I have been getting up earlier to spend more time with my daughter. The oldest one. We usually watch some Adventure Time together before her little sister gets up, but lately we have been drawing together. My Fearow drawing is coming along nicely. I didn’t want to just post an update of it because I hope to post the final later this week early next week. Did you know it is Inktober? This is the first year I’ve heard about it, but it is a cool idea.A few years ago an illustrator, Jake Parker, came up with an idea. Make a drawing everyday for an entire month. It is a...
