Sand Surfing...

Ok, I know surfing on sand probably woudn't work too well. Even if you attached a wind sail. I mean, you might make it down a single sand dune, but there's no way you're getting up the other side. Then there's the added pleasure of grinding your face in the sand when you wipe out. I'm sure someone's tried it, though. Maybe there's video on youtube...

Poof!

The subject was poof! So there you are. Poofy hair.

For anyone who likes comics, animation, and/or illustration, you may want to check out Sidebar Nation. The site is hosted by two brothers who share their interest in comics, etc. by posting podcast interviews with some of the top names in the business. We're talking about Skottie Young, James Jean, Jon Foster, Drew Struzan, and so many more it's almost mind-numbing. I've been stuck on that site for days.

Enjoy.

Back Again

Ok, so I've been gone awhile. Never was good with the whole "post regularly" thing. But alright, I guess I can make an attempt at it. Starting today, I'm going to do a weekly illustration based on whatever topic Illustration Friday has up. Don't get your hopes up; it may only be a loose sketch, but it'll be something. This week's topic was "canned".

Next week it is then...

Enter: The Real World

So I've recently graduated from college and a question I frequently encounter is: what are you gonna do, now that you're in the "real world"? I'm perfectly aware that i'm only being asked what my plans for the future are, but I can't help but wonder why so many people apply the phrase "real world" to the daily grind that so many of our lives become. It does seem to be used in such a cynical way, too, as though everything prior was just a happy little dream, but now you must wake and face the desperation you thought you'd escaped.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into it?

Whatever the case, I'm determined not to be indoctrinated into reality, if reality means I must give up my dream. Dreams are so much more interesting anyway.

I don't have an image to accompany that little monologue (yet), but here's an early rough of an illo i did for class, and what it turned into. I'll have better stuff later, hopefully.
