I was in the middle of a 25 painting deadline that was due the next morning so naturally I painted this instead.

My dern cat knocked my automaton off the counter and this is how I found it this morning. I like building these things not rebuilding them. Sheesh.

A friend of mine is letting me try out his Cintiq tablet. I gotta say, it's pretty fun to sketch on. Here are a few doodles. I need to figure out how to do more with it I guess.

I found this pig in a pile of sketches. I don't think I ever posted it so, here it goes. Captain Banjo, defending porcine pickers everywhere.

Okay, I've been slacken' big time. I've made a goal to sketch more so hopefully that means you'll see a lot more stuff on the ole blog. If I'm not doing enough just let me know and I'll try harder. Here is today's doodle.

This was a demo for Will Terry's illustration class. All of his students are doing a Banjo Pig for an assignment. Awesome. Can't wait to see them all. They will be posted on the Banjo Pig Blog. Enjoy.

Here is my latest little project. I really needed to make a Halloween automaton and this is what I came up with. It's a very simple movement but because it is on such a long flimsy pole it is a heck of a lotta fun to watch. Even more fun in person. Enjoy.Sorry for the crappyness of the video.

I did this little banjo pig for illustrator David Weisner when he was in town doing a presentation. I drew it on one of those watercolor postcard pads of paper, then when it was all done I sent it to him as a thank you. I was his host for the few days that he was here, driving him around, showing him the sights...whatever. He is a really great guy and a fantastic artist. It was nice to get to know him. Anyway, enjoy the pig. I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I'm bad.

cats blow. I have a gunny sack you can borrow...
Have you posted this 'automoton-ing' (in action), on YouTube (or anywhere else). It's a beautiful piece Guy.
Will you be seen at the Provo Library tonight at 7? Jeff Savage (Farworld) will be speaking.
I think I still need to make a video of this one. I'll post it when I do. If you search for Kactiguy on YouTube you'll find a bunch of my stuff.
Greg, I love cats. They're tasty.
