Little Busy

I've been doing daily sketches in my journal lately. A small, but productive way to stay in the groove. And I made a few custom gift certificates as presents for my siblings and parents ("Dinner with KJ"), to be redeemed sometime in 2011, since money is tight lately.

Merry Christmas to you folks who have accidentally wandered by!

Le Chasseur

Today I received via registered mail the copy of "Le Chasseur", the French version of Darwyn Cooke's adaptation of Richard Stark's "The Hunter" that I won from the artist's website. He (DC) drew a little sketch along with his autograph, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Slow and Steady

I have been drawing again. For the last three days I have been keeping a sketch pad (or my journal) open nearby so I can scribble when I have the urge or inspiration. It's a good feeling. The subjects: surfing/the ocean, women (Greek curlies), and sock puppets.

Surf's Up

I read the latest issue of "Surfer Magazine" yesterday. I drew yesterday and I am drawing again today. 'Nuff said...

A Perfect Circle and Other Shapes

I was boiling eggs yesterday, and I couldn't resist saving this image:

Lull

Wow. I haven't done anything noteworthy in a creative vein for three weeks now. This being unemployed (and having no disposable income) really sucks. You'd think all this free time would be perfect for working on something, but it's not...

I've done a LOT of thinking and planning, just very little doing, beyond the occasional saved website or photo, or scribbled drawing or idea. Time to get crackin'!
