Sketches!

I've been a drawing fool lately. Can't help myself. It's been a long time since I had the desire to draw this much.

There should be a lot more to come in the weeks and months ahead...I'm drawing two comics at the moment! One is a short, contained story, the other a series of short contained stories, revolving around one character...more to come when there is more to say! In the meantime, however, here are a few quick sketches that I've done in my spare time. Hope you like them!

This Dracula was done based off the Drac seen in Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

I call this one, "Flyboy".

I have no idea where this came from. I drew the demon first, and then thought there should be someone kicking him in the head...so there you go. A look into my creative process. Woot.

You can click on the images above to get better look. Leave me a comment. That is all.

Captain Kirk Goes to Camelot...

I don't think this needs any explanation...

Pictures! Of Me!

Well lookie here, I've finally put some new pictures of my life out there for everyone to see...



...here are some pictures of a wonderful day my wife and I spent in the Old Deaf School Topiary garden downtown to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. (We had a picnic!)



...and these are pictures from my brother-in-law's wedding at Confluence Park two weeks ago. What a great time! I danced my poor wife into a migraine, but besides that, we had a blast!

King of Kong: a Fistful of Quarters

With the summer winding down, Hollywood is in that mode that always seems to come after all the summer blockbusters are over, and before they float their Oscar contenders...hum-drum blah movies are filling up the theaters with nothing to really look forward to.

Until now...King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary on one man's quest to beat the Donkey Kong world record. It looks like it has everything. The loser striving to make good (Steve Weibe, father and schoolteacher who is the current Donkey Kong record holder), a villain, determined to hold onto his waning power (Billy Mitchell, the prior Donkey Kong record holder, and "Video Game Player of the Century"...seriously) and a head-to-head match-up complete with referees, fans and a cast of characters that look like they could be pulled directly from Napoleon Dynamite.

The whole thing almost looks like it could almost be a hoax. These people couldn't really exist, could they? The movie looks too entertaining. Too perfect. I can't wait to see it!

Finished Harry Potter

Don't worry. I'm not going to spoil a single thing. I would hate it if anyone dared to try that with me. I just want to say that, now that it is over, I am honestly going to miss each and every character from those books. The fact that I don't have another Harry Potter novel to look forward to is almost depressing. But I can't thank J.K. Rowling enough...It was everything I hoped it would be and nothing that I expected...as with each of the 7 novels.

What a great time. And now that the book no longer has a hold on me, maybe I can get to bed before 3am?

The Google Phone!

Engaget has been spouting off rumors of a "gPhone" for quite some time now, but recently, it seems to be getting a bit more specific. Enough that I'm seriously intrigued now.

But, as usual, it comes with reservations. Mostly from the last couple of lines from this article...

HTC is being tapped to build a Linux-based Gphone to be launched on T-Mobile in the US in early 2008, with Orange getting the exclusive in France and other countries. Anian also says Google has been in talks with Verizon and AT&T, and that Verizon has already shot the big G down -- much like it did with Apple and the iPhone.

...already shot it down, did you Verizon? Seriously? That's the way you want to play?

With the exception of one or two LG phones, Verizon has the worst phone choices on the planet. I recently had to find myself a new one, after my current 2 year contract had run out, and there are slim pickin's, let me tell you. So, if Google comes up with a winner of a handset (which I'm confident they'll do, despite rumors of having to listen to ads before you make your call in exchange for free cell service...I find that hard to believe...) I'm thinkin' it may be time to give up on Verizon.

So, all that having been said, I guess what my rambling comes down to is that I'm intrigued. I'm a total Google whore, and I probably spend at least half of my web-surfing time in some Google-built application or site. So, when I hear that they may finally save me from my boring ol' cell phone, I can't help but perk up and listen. And get just a bit excited.
