Linerider...or What I Spend My Day NOT Doing

It's such a simple, simple thing. Draw some lines on the screen. Press Play. Watch your little dude on a sled (with a stylin' scarf) barrel down the lines you just drew.



All day, I sit. Forcing myself NOT to play with this site. Cigarettes are less addictive.

Go here. Click Play. Or watch the movies that other people have made of their tracks, to give you some ideas of the possibilities.

Just make sure you don't have anything to do for the next few hours...

Addiction by DB3

Hey, all!

My stupidly talented friend, Dan Beahm, has recorded a video that he did with one of his groups, DB3. I really love this song (catchy as hell!) so I thought I would share. If you like, hit up his site http://www.db3music.com/ or maybe even snatch up one of his discs at CDBaby (That's right! I'm trying to get you to buy one of his discs...would I do that to you if I didn't think it was good?!)

And if I still haven't convinced you...you could also get in touch with me, and maybe I'll send you a few MP3's?

edit: Why don't I actually link to the aforementioned video? *sigh*

You even have a choice of YouTube or MySpace for your viewing pleasure. If you want a slightly cleaner version for download, here is a direct link to the 320x240 .wmv file (19MB).

Peanuts Meets Marvel!

Good Grief! I LOVE these!

PEANUTS MEETS MARVEL!

A small sampling of what you will see:







(It's sad that I can tell you where almost all these images come from, isn't it? I mean, not just the characters...the issue numbers. Yeah, I thought it was. *sigh*)

A few more sketches...

Why is it that I can only draw on lined paper recently!?

Anyway, I was hoping to draw a truly regal Superman. It came out a little more snobbish than I had intended, but I like it well enough to share it.

The Hulk, on the other hand, was simply a doodle that took on a life of its own. Hope you enjoy. Hope to have more soon.

Bart's Famous Quotes...

So, I ran across this list about a week ago as I was clearing out the "spare bedroom". (Also known as the "Junk Room", to give you some idea of what it contains.)

Anyway, this list was compiled by my brother, Ryan, as he attended Ball State University. He had a roommate his freshman year, named Bart, that talked in his sleep. So, being the sensitive and kind-hearted person that Ryan is, he decided to start a list of the sayings so that he could pull it out at parties and laugh at him. Attached are the highlights of that list.

Bart's Famous Quotes:

Introductions...

So, I've finally started a blog. No reason, really, except I love finding fun sites and media on the 'Net and sharing them. That's what most of this will be. I'll also throw in some of my own stuff here and there.

I was going to do a quick "bio", if you will, but let's be honest....My life, as charmed and wonderful as it really is, doesn't make for good storytelling. Who wants to hear about a guy who grew up with two caring, devoted parents who loved him? Who got a good education, has a decent job, a wonderful wife and a crazy dog?

So, instead, I'll just say that it was Sean Esty, creator of the online comic "Skullcano Island", that really made me realize how fun a blog could be. I look at his stuff, and just gape in wonder. The man is some kind of wizard...somewhere between Mike Mignola and Humberto Ramos, he makes it look easy with those amazing lines and that fantastic character design. I hate him, I really do.

Listen to me, like I actually know him. Like I've MET him! Sean Esty doesn't know me! Yet, here we are. With me all envious of him, and trying to draw as well as him. Like that's gonna happen. But, in the spirit of "imitation being the sincerest form of flattery", I thought I would try and attempt to draw a piece of fan art. It's rough, but I think if I stick to it, it may turn out OK, which means it's doomed, since I don't seem capable of ever actually FINISHING a peice of art.

Anyway, I give you Miss Molly Holliday, star of Mr.Esty's on-line comic, Marooned! Hope you like her!
