Have fun!

Sometimes while drawing I'll get lost in my head and my own thoughts. A lot of the time this will lead to frustration with myself if I can't get a line to go exactly how I think it should go, other times it seems as though the drawings just flow out and almost without thinking and just feeling. Those are the times I like. I've got to figure out how to get that more often. When I'm roughing out a drawing, or just sketching someone or something it seems that its way more fluid, easy, fun and creative. Then my critical perfectionist mathematical brain kicks in when I wanna do cleanup and that takes about 5x as long as the original rough. I'd like to put both of those aspects in a blender and keep just the good parts of each one.

Pirate a Day


The beast thinking his meal was just about perfect went to rotate his spit one last time. The moment he reached for the handle our little hero spewed the overflowing mouthful of hot marinade he had been holding in his gullet. The wave of liquid caught the monster completely off guard and caused him to jump back in surprise and horror which subsequently led to the sharp fork he was previously wielding getting thrown out of his hand.



I finally got a chance to listen to this weeks Art and Story podcast, and the special guest Dan Mishkin gave a quote from the great Walt Kelly, that got my little ear burning. When asked why he created his comic Pogo he said he wanted to have fun and make money at the same time. Mr. Kelly I think beautifully stated what everyone's ideal goal in life is. Thanks for the Inspiration!
