Not so busy lately. Art jobs slow down in Jan and Feb every year, so I’m not worried, in fact, I’m happy because it gives me time to do my own work and catch up with other important stuff like going to the gym. So far I’m making good with my original comic book work. On new years evening I made a commitment to myself to complete 3 pages every 2 weeks and so far I’m keeping up. 3 pages doesn’t sound like a lot but for those of you who don’t know, making comic book pages is harder than it looks. You have to write, pencil, ink and letter the thing plus there’s still going to be a need for graphic and reproduction time. Anyway, it ain’t easy. I’ve been concentrating on my new comic “Bad Half Betty” witch came directly from a dream last year. I’ve drafted the whole first issue already but decided to re-do it better with penciled in values overtop the pen and ink work. The other comic I’m putting time into is my latest chapter of “Road Kill”. RK was first published in Topps Comics back in the 90’s. Yikes! the mid 90’s, I better get on it… times a wasting eh?
When I figure out how to add images to my blog, I’ll post some pages.
In the mean time, I’m working on a set of house paintings for a private client. Will probably do a total of 3 or 4 final pieces in pencil and water color and maybe ink. Other than that, I’m doing some fun character design for Baskerville Advertising here in Sarasota. All that plus doing caricature jobs every weekend which is after all what keeps me financially afloat. 2 weeks ago I worked at the Super Bowl VIP tailgate party. Daughtry was playing on a stage behind me. Not a bad life eh?
So in a nut shell, that’s what’s up in my art life. How’s yours?
