The New Bank

I did this piece before the one in my last post, but I got a bit busy and couldn't put it up.

I should have something new tomorrow for the Allmightys contest.

Portfolio Update and More

I just updated my Behance portfolio with five new pieces. Normally, I don't exchange everything out, but it just turned out that way.

Here's an interesting new site: Infectious Car Art

I don't know how it'll work, but I'm thinking of submitting something for the Obama …

An Evening with Dr. Nosebundle

I had originally intended to use this is as a cover for a faux-speaking engagement. However, due to time restrictions, I wasn't able to do the rest. Still one of my favorites though.

Sketches of Inspiration

I don't like to sketch every day. Writing is another story. However, on Mondays I usually walk around the not-so-small town of Westminster. That's when I do sketch, and I thought I'd start showing it.

It actually reveals a great deal about my process. I like to pick a …

Concert in the Park

As I said before, I really like writing. Nothing coherent, but it sometimes springs some ideas to the forefront. So, with that in mind, here's how the sounds were being supplied yesterday at the park.

The Emperor of the United States

I was reading volume 6 of the Sandman series, Fables & Reflections, last night. One particular issue caught my eye. It revolves around the man Joshua Norton, the Emperor of the United States. It was quite the yarn, but I assumed it was just something from the mind of …

Through the Bog of Giltrimoy

I had this dream last night about a gigantic green creature with glasses and a purple suit. You can expect to see that here eventually.

Word of the day:
epicure - a person with sensitive and discriminating tastes.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the path I want to …

Not Summer

Today's temperature makes it impossible for it to be Summer. Therefore, it isn't.

Here's my weekly sketch. Looks like I have a thing for light bulbs.

Working for Mid-Week

What I'm doing now:
1. A Dante's Inferno inspired skateboard. I was going to go overboard on details, but I've decided to go more bold and splashy.

Just finished the research phase. That gave me an opportunity to read the poem again, and it was just as great as ever.

Promotion and Pondering

What I'm doing now:
1. Promoting my winning design at Infectious.com:

As you may recall I recently submitted a piece to the aforementioned site.

Well, I recently found out I won. That netted me a sweet cash prize and a commission to boot. So, that's pretty cool. There were …

The Post-Vacation Post

First off, I hope everyone had a great weekend.

What I'm doing now:

1. Getting my store on Zazzle.com stocked:


I came across this site through a post on Twitter, and immediately took to it.

I'm still putting the backlog of designs I wanted printed up, but expect new designs …

One Down, One Up

What I'm doing:

1. Closed down my Zazzle store; - that lasted long - the site was fine, but I just wasn't feeling it.

2. Opened a DeckPeck store:


I know the skateboards are quality because I know Popdeck does it right. By …

Fiddle Flop

What's Transpirin':
