Purr..

In the coming months you'll be seeing alot of these types of deals. Trying to get back into hypermedia type stuff again.
Wish me luck.

CM's Doggie -

Here's the start of a picture I'm working on for a friend of her pooch.
No excuses for poor site upkeep. Just busy busy. :)

Lavaponyland Commissions

Thank goodness this isn't a news column - Right?
I've done a woeful job of updating my own art blog. It's my noncommittal nature to anything I suppose. At any rate, I'm working on commissions. I'm actually trying to draw a 50's style couple standing by a creek. That's all the description I got, so I'm gonna do it my way like Burger King. A few months and software ahead I wanna make this a website with a blog, versus say just this blog. I work in trade for most jobs, so if you have some music, an adventure trade *friends* only (i.e. field trip) I can probably draw something for you.

It's my goal by the end of September to have some old school family portraits - pics of my grand-dad and grandmother back when the dinosaurs walked.

Soo in the meantime, here's the tentative OEF logo I built - It won't make it to the final draft due to fashion inconsistencies, but after that's resolved -- Keep your eyes peeled.

So, one of my room-mates was in a bad car accident. That luckily was not as bad as it could have been - (which subsequently took away all 3 of my room-mates).

So here's my little get well card.

The Elephant in the Room

Define it.

Leslie's Angels

There's been a rampant crime spree on the streets of Clifton Forge these days. (And no, I don't mean a runaway cow.)
So who do you call, The Angels of course.

Old Territory

I try not to retread places I've already been before with my sketches, but I was called out on my comic nerd-dom the other day and thought I'd pull out my favorite comics..(the X-Men) which feature my favorite character Gambit. Say what you will about him, but I always thought a card throwing, bow staff wielding, trench coat wearing hero was the coolest thing since Wonderbread. I'm still mad he wasn't in the movie, Toad - but no Gambit? Come on!!

I don't read them much now as they appeal to much younger age demographic and reality has set in, but every once in awhile I go back. After all, comics led me to graphic design and the entire art world in the first place.

A Reyes Reinterpretation

I've reinterpreting alot of other people's family pictures lately (for fun, for modest commissions, or for presents.) I must say it's alot of fun just hearing the story's behind the pictures and making my own while I drawn them. Since I got this one off of a photograph, I misinterpreted what was supposed to be a clutch bag as a piece of someone's pants. Turns out the person in question was not wearing silk creme colored pants as I thought (thank goodness) but wearing black trousers. S. assures me that said person keeps up with fashion trends. )And was not wearing silky pants.)

Merry X-Mas..

Decided to give some framed artwork this year for Christmas presents. It worked out alot better than an anticipated.
Thought I'd share it with you peeps.
Happy (belated) Holidays..!
