The newest addition to our family, as of Sunday afternoon.

Not a lot of sleep last night, but so far, so good… :D

We were watching Atlantis that night, and McKenna was feeling inspired:

This time around I was working on a mascot for a friend’s website:

McKenna was a fan of the “googly eyes.” :D

McKenna was obviously paying attention during our trips to Sea World. Here’s her take on the Leafy Sea Dragon:

This time around, Cole requested a dinosaur:

And I tried my hand at an alien of my own:

I might just have to play around with that one a bit more…

Comicpalooza 2010? Awesome!

March 30th, 2010

This past weekend I went to Comicpalooza, and had an amazing time. Definitely looking forward to what next year’s con has to offer…

The biggest thrill for me was getting the chance to meet a number of artists I’d followed for years, and in a couple cases get them to draw something for me:

Phil Foglio

Still kicking myself for not asking David Mack for a sketch – have to take care of that next time!

Doodle Time! (19-Feb-2010)

March 26th, 2010

So, a couple weeks ago I fired up my geriatric tablet PC and started to doodle while the kiddos watched a movie. Both of them were pretty interested in what was going on, so I asked Cole what I should draw and he and I came up with the picture below:

Cole - Truck (19-Feb-2010)

And McKenna took a swing at it herself:

McKenna - Alien (19-Feb-2010)

I don’t draw nearly as much as I used to, so needless to say the whole thing was pretty fun to do. Hopefully we can make this a semi-regular thing and I can post the results when I get a chance.

The nitty gritty, for those that care:

  • The tablet is a Compaq TC1100, which makes for a decent (though laggy) poor man’s Cintiq 12WX. Mmm… Cintiq…
  • The program I’m running is the demo version of ArtRage 2.5, though if this becomes a regular thing I’ll definitely be springing for the full version. A very natural way to draw on a computer.

Our daughter, the artist

McKenna drew this a bit ago, and it’s just too good not to share:

Boots

Proud “artist” daddy is proud. :D

Is this thing (still) on?

September 6th, 2009

Thanks to a rash of WordPress hacking going on this weekend, I finally had to get around to updating the software running this part of the site. So far things are looking okay, but I’m sure there’s lots of little stuff that has yet to be dealt with.

Ah, the joys of technology…
