Folksy drawings illustrate an updated classic nursery rhyme as a boy ventures through his farm and discovers where wool, honey, milk, eggs, and down come from. Click here to read my full review.

2. I need a Bounty Quicker Picker Upper

I don't really know why I am feeling so down today.

  • Maybe its b/c I'm frustrated with this crazy publishing world
  • Maybe its b/c of all the cuts the cuts at Harper Collins
  • Maybe its because I will miss Bowen Press
  • Maybe its b/c I watched Pursuit of Happyness
  • Maybe its b/c my vertigo is back
  • Maybe its b/c I feel like I am moving through quick sand with my writing
  • Maybe its b/c of the economy
  • Maybe its b/c I saw Caylee Grandpa crying on TV
  • Maybe its b/c I watched a lady beg Obama for help b/c she was homeless
  • Maybe its b/c I don't understand how a Lady could want 8 more kids when she is not taking care of the first 6.
  • Maybe its b/c Jeremy Lusk (American motocross racer) died tragically after a jump gone wrong at the age of 24.
  • Maybe its b/c stamps are going up again 2 cents.
  • Maybe its b/c of the tragic fires in Australia.
  • Maybe its b/c my dog is getting old.
  • Maybe its b/c I watched people get cut on American Idol and their dream crushed.
  • Maybe its b/c of the guy who died in jail days before they reversed his sentence and declared him innocent.
  • Maybe its b/c Im sick and watching too much depressing TV.
  • Maybe I'm just sapped and am tired of fighting so hard for something that seems impossible.
  • Maybe its b/c I hurt when others hurt.
  • Maybe its just b/c sometimes things dont seem to get better in this crazy world.
  • Maybe its b/c I want so much for an agent/editor to believe in me and my writing.
  • Maybe its b/c I'm obsessing.
  • Maybe its just me.
  • Maybe its just in the air.
  • Maybe it's just today.

In any case, all I can do is be grateful, keep moving forward, and try to look on the Bright Side of Life.

Ok I'm done whining. I need a pick-me-up. (If I felt better, a good dirty martini might do the trick :)

Instead, I remembered this....

WARNING: Slightly Inappropriate material ahead!

(PS: This song is NOT a religious statement.)

(PSS: Go back now especially if you don't like Monty Python's or the movie Life of Brian)

(PSSS: Last chance to bail on this post!)




OK I feel better now :)

Thanks.

3. Zuda Submission Sketch



I'm just starting the coloring stage of my eight page submission to zudacomics.com. I finished up all of the inking over the last couple of days in between other work. I actually think I've come up with a pretty good little story. The style of art I'm doing is a bit unconventional, but I think interesting. Maybe. Maybe not. Anyway, here's a scan of one of the inked pages. Judge for yourself.

4. Zombie T-Shirts




The last couple weeks have been EXTREMELY hectic as I've had a surprising amount of product design work coming in, as well as a few other time intensive things. I'm expecting stuff to die down a bit over the next couple of weeks, which is good because I can use the extra time to get some work done on some other projects I have going. I'm actually working on a submission to zuda comics believe it or not (I'll post some scans on Friday maybe) and hopefully I can get some of that done this week.

This week I put threw up a couple zombie t-shirt designs I kind of did on a whim over at redbubble.com and I've gotten a surprising response.

Someone (who apparently has even less sense in style than I do) even bought the hippie one.

Anyway, I already have three more in the sketch phase and I think all three of them completely blow away the two I've done so far.

I'm digging drawing dead people.

Maybe a job in the morgue is in my future?

5. Summer Reflections

An oil painting I finished not long ago - reflecting some of the joys of a summer day. I know this isn't on the topic, but I understand it's ok to upload other work, too. Hope so.
