Rick Perry is a 2012 hopeful for the Republican nomination to run in the upcoming Presidential elections. He seems to inject faith and religion into everything he does, which fascinates me!
I am working on this piece, where we see Rick Perry being called to high office. Progress to be posted here in the next few days. God willing.*
Sorry to twitter and tumblr followers, I've been lax in that department. ;_; In so many things.
*HAHAHA SEE WHAT I DID THERE. I made a joke.
Whoa. Been awhile, huh?
It's been a long summer, and I'm ready for Fall and all the things it brings.
Have some art to tide you over 'till I put together a proper blog post! I'm been participating on the Conceptart.org forum challenges. Here's some of the characters Ive put together for the CHOW challenges.
Ohhh my new scanner, I love you somuch.
Have you seen House of the Devil? Or listened to The Fixx's One Thing Leads to Another? You should! Go do that now, you saucy minx.
I wasn't so happy with that last Illustration, so I put in a little more elbow grease and made the likeness a bit better. Am now much happier with the picture, and the splotch on his stupid face.

I'm going to post all the stuff I had at my table last weekend, but for now, here's one of my favorite pieces from Fan Expo:
Alas, the print didn't go over so well, ce la vie. Next time I'll shoot for a brighter, crisper print.
I've been listening to a lot of Lovecraft audiobooks by the way, read by the awesome Wayne June. Does this mean there's going to be some Lovecraftian stuff in my future? You bet yer bum there is.
Just dropped the prints off at the printers! Eeeee!
Time to relax for a bit and tuck in with a book, maybe catch up with Dan Savage columns and podcasts. I used to follow both almost religiously, but kind of dropped off in the past year. I got a bunch of crazy sexcapades/problems to catch up on! Podcasts are also a great to play while yer working, so if anyone's got any recommendations, leavea comment and lemmie know.
Speaking of Dan Savage, Joe Newton has been providing fun and adorable illustrations for the column consistently for the past I-Dunno-How-Many years, check out his portfolio.
Goodness me, it's been awhile hasn't it?
I've been deep on the down low all year, detoxing from my college days. It's time to knuckle down and get some serious work done, though. I was scared to death to get back to painting, since it's been so long now, but things are going pretty well.
I'll be breaking my convention cherry at Fan Expo this year - Gasp! Blush! - and I'm both excited and nervous! More info about where I'll be located to come later.
In the lead up expo, I'll be posting sneak peeks of new art. Horray!
Here's your first look:
Fans of boobies will be pretty happy with me this year!
I've developed a recent obsession with Wonder Woman! To celebrate, I'm doing art challenges on the Wonder Woman message boards at Comic Book Resources, check it out!
First one was Wonder Woman's Winter Wardrobe - it's a cardi & underwear take on one of Wonder Woman's weirder costumes. I'm working on some other designs, but damn it's hard.
I'm also going to have some stuff at canzine, so if you're going, drop by!
Hey people, I have not abandoned you. I have just been hermetic since school ended, reeling for the climax and anti-climax of it all. As you can see, the place looks a little different now. I went back to the blog today and winced dramatically at the colors I had dressed this blog in. I'll stick to white for now until I can muster up the courage to conjure up a better layout.
The long-promised portfolio site is a bit closer on the horizon then it was before, but it still may be a little while until that reaches you. For the curious, I'm simply trying to fill my portfolio with work that I can feel a little happier about. Until then, this blog will have to do.
Another school assignment that makes me smile, Sherlock Holmes. This was done in a painterly style that, while I do like, takes a little longer to complete than I would like. 
He's no Robert Downey Jr., but he's still my man.
I'm currently working on a book project with Yien Yip, featuring her artwork and my words. What will it be, you are wondering? It will be cute. It will be utterly adorable. And, ah, gorgeous. Of course. Go and dig Yien's flow at her website.
Now go hug someone. C'mon, don't be shy!
Website and blog re-vamp still coming swear to god. In the meantime, have some Wolverine:
Oh, project rooftop. I heart you!
There's a lot of face lifting that's going to happen on this blog-thing, but not quite yet. Stay tuned for exciting things like links to people and portfolios and... so on. Thanks for popping in.
"The Mysterious Traveller"
Every so often, I do an illustration that serves as a benchmark for all the illustrations to come. That's pretty much how I feel about this one. There are times in art and writing when things manage to just come together, without a lot of fuss or struggle, and work out in a way that makes you super happy. Or maybe that's just me.
Greetings!
So this will be my sketch/illustration blog, where I will be posting new and old art, sketches, comics, and update on upcoming and ongoing projects.
Coming Soon: Website & Online Portfolio. (Perhaps a separate blog as well for blog-blogging, in addition to illustration-blogging. )
These shop bots are for an assignment early into my 3rd year. It's still one of my favorites.
I call the one with the big red lens Norbert. I imagined that he wouldn't be much of a talker, but he'd be there to hold up your bags and stand in line for you at Starbucks.
