Newest #inktober

By on Oct 19, 2016

I started my next drawing. My daughter is still into the #inktober thing but I can tell she is losing interest. She asked if we can do origami next month. I remember being her age and being obsessed with origami. My mom’s friend’s husband (that seems convoluted) was an engineer who was amazing at origami. When he found out I was interested, he gave me paper-planes that were so complex I swore he had used scissors and glue.My daughter and I went to see Kubo and the Two Strings and I’m sure this added to her curiousity. Kubo and the Two Strings is the latest Laika picture. It is all done in stop animation which is so remarkably beautiful you will swear it is CGI. Kubo plays a magical lute(?) that brings paper to life. It is a wonderful film. It seemed a little scary at times but my daughter thought it was great.Online Printing and CalendarsMilwaukee’s Best...

There it is. I finished the Fearow drawing. I finished it this morning with my daughter. We got up extra early so we could watch Adventure Time and draw. We were talking about Inktober and she wanted to post her #inktober picture too.Online Printing and CalendarsMilwaukee Printing

Keeping Up

By on Oct 12, 2016

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...

New Drawing – Fearow

By on Oct 6, 2016

While playing Pokémon GO I have been obsessed with expanding my PokéDex. The new buddy system has been great. Spearows are rare in my area but because of the Buddy System I was able to evolve a Fearow. I’ve been working on it for a couple of weeks. I needed something to draw so here is the start of my Fearow. Updates to follow.Custom and OnDemand CalendarsMilwaukee Printing

Does it hold up… Cypress Hill

By on Oct 4, 2016

I am having a problem writing this because I have switched my opinion while writing. I put this album on for a run the other day and I was really disappointed. The album has its bright spots but for the most part it really doesn’t hold up.Then I put it on this morning to make sure it was fresh in my mind as I wrote this and I found myself liking it a lot more than I did the other night. B-Real is pretty great. His voice is unique and his rhyme scheme is wonderful. He has a uniqueness that stands out. When you hear him rap, you know it is him. DJ Muggs has always been an enigma to me. He is a hype-man with no hype. I suppose it would be too much to be like Flava Flav when your whole niche is being stoned. He definitely adds something but sometimes I wonder if it is anything worth while…I started this post last week. I was conflicted. Like I said before, I listened to the album and came...

Something New

By on Sep 29, 2016

I was asked to try something new. We are designing a new brochure at work and I was asked to take some product photos. Ummmm, OK. We acquired some lighting and I did some test shots.I have to say they turned out alot better than I was expecting. The above example was quickly taken. I barely spent more than 15 minutes setting everything up and taking the pictures. One thing that I have to say is, lighting is SO important. I know that everyone knows that but we bought a cheap $50 setup and it was definitely worth the money. We will have to buy a few more lights but even the cheap setup was impressive.Milwaukee Printing with Awesome ServiceOnline Calendars and On-Demand Printing

Pokémon GO continues…

By on Sep 26, 2016

I went to visit some family this weekend. It was my nephew’s birthday so I took him Pokémoning. We went to a park in Neenah, WI. I was really looking forward to spending time with my nephew. He was the reason I started playing Pokémon in the first place. Honestly I’ve gotten a little burnt out on playing. The new buddy update was ok but all the spots are starting to seem the same. I haven’t added anything to my Pokédex in a while so aside from hatching eggs it has gotten a little mundane. Neenah was SO much different. It was so much fun. There were all kinds of new Pokémon. My nephew was in heaven. We were super cold sitting on the lake but other than that it was great. He had a smile on his face the whole time.The other thing that was great was seeing the diversity of people. There were all types of people. One picnic table of players looked like extras from The...

Beer

By on Sep 20, 2016

I like beer. Nope, that is incorrect. I love beer. Probably a little too much. I have a habit of making things a habit. This is something that I know about myself. When I take an interest in something I explore it to its limits. Beer is a good example. I will not drink Budweiser or Bud Light. I will not. I would much rather drink water. I will occasionally drink Miller, but that is unavoidable in Milwaukee. I like what is becoming know as “hobby” beers or “craft” beers. That is a bit of a misnomer, especially here in Milwaukee. We have a few local breweries that are actually quite big. MKE is one that I like. Their staple Louie’s Demise is my go-to. One thing I cannot stand are flavored beers or alcoha-pops. As far as I’m concerned Mike’s Hard Lemonade is one of the worst things to happen to alcoholic beverages. There is a reason they market to “manly men” and that is because no...
