…the only way to do Fridays.
Today is a work from home day. Have too many projects to complete in not enough time. One major one is an illustration project way way overdue. The client is amazingly patient which makes me feel that much crummier. The other is the Christmas card design for this year. Last year’s had good response and we’ll be selling them shortly on Etsy once we get our act together and get them on the site. Once this year’s design is finished and printed (very soon), we’ll have them available for your purcahsing pleasure.
Since I’m at home, I won’t be adding to my daily doodling which I do most every day at my contract job. I started out noodling on a scrap of paper with a ballpoint pen, which has now turned into a stack of paper and a small supply store’s worth of pens and highliters. I like the ghettoness of using ballpoint and highliter. Takes a lot of the pressure out of making any kind of “legitimate” drawing, and I just really enjoy the materials. I’ve always had a fine appreciation for ballpoint. It’s like a little oil dispenser right at my fingetips. Great for detailing, blendind and smudging directly with the fingers. I owe you a few drawings. Enjoy.

…they being me.
In continuation with yesterday’s bit of motivation to keep my bloggerization a bit more regular, I’ve decided to try (the key word being try) to bring back some of the Daily Drawing. For those not in the know, I used to do a drawing every single day. Thus the name. My goal was at least a year and, true to form, I made it about three quarters of a year. Got too demanding, and I am a lazy person, so that kind of…ended.
So.
With all of that excusery, I bring you back a new Daily Drawing, a few months late from the schedule. Note that each drawing you see will not necessarily be done in one day. I usually have many going from the desk of my contract job, and I do a bit of drawing every day, not necessarily a new, complete drawing. Unclear and wordy? You bet, but that’s how I blog. Enjoy.

…someday this blog will be to my satisfaction, but most likely not.
Thanks to the skills of my wonderful and infinitely patient wife, this blog is finally getting reworked from its humble Myspace origins. Many new works in progress, including a painted chest cast for the Keep A Breast foundation- the event is coming, and I will be posting about it in detail soon. Here are a few Daily Drawings that have been in the works from a while ago. Obviously the goal of a new bit of drawing every day has had to take a break. Fortunately, it’s been due to work on many other projects. So much for the days of stagnation. Almost too many projects to keep track of lately, and I again will definitely have info on them soon. Enjoy the pics for now, I hope to get more regular as time goes on with my bloggery. I’ll also be updating older posts from Myspace for you diligent blogtrackers.
