Hello, all my 3 dear readers. Here's an UPDATE!
It's Nanowrimo time again! Expect many updates with word counts, really terrible first draft samples, and many frustrations starting tomorrow. I'm retooling a couple of ideas into one for my book this year, with the intention of eventually turning two ideas into a trilogy of epic proportions (we'll see how well that works out). This concept was pretty last minute, so I'm still a bit behind figuring out exactly how several elements are going to play, but hey, I've got until tomorrow.

I put up a new page with links to some stuff that I find inspiring. You should check them out!
This week I picked up some watercolors and a couple of new art pads, so this coming week should full of new posts.
Also, I sometimes have a hard time coming up with ideas or what to draw about! I know like two people read this, but give me your suggestions and/or requests! It would be much appreciated.
Here's a little comic I did today.
Drawings today soundtracked by Tetrastar.
In other news I got all my hair off, as evidenced here:
More stuff to come later today, I think.
I haven't drawn anything yet this week! Boo on me. I will remedy this tomorrow with vigor.
I would however like to share some things! Sharing is caring.
I have been absolutely devouring the manga series Bakuman.
The book is written by the same mysterious Tsugumi Ohba of Death Note fame. The writing is just amazing, and balances all the elements of a story I wouldn't be interested in otherwise incredibly well. The book is about two 9th graders who want to become famous manga creators, which sounds pretty boring - but it is executed by someone with a clear mastery of storytelling. It's the bomb, is my point.
Additionally, this is my favorite cover song of all time:
I really like the way the hat and the bubblegum turned out. Completely filling in the hair was a bad idea. The shirt is okay, I don't know what went wrong with the shorts. Next time I think I'll try just shading with the colors only (like on the hat).
My soundtrack so far today has been Minus the Bear's new record.
I guess I'm going to start actually posting stuff here now! All right! Get crazy!
here are some drawings I made today.
I listened to this while I was drawing.
In other creative news, I can almost play the Jeff Buckley version of "Hallelujah" all the way through on the ukulele.
PROGRESS.
