My friend looks a bit like Wayne Gretzky, and he plays hockey, so hopefully he will appreciate this.

Cerberus. As a Boston Terrier. The goofiest dog you can own. I thought it would be a good combo.

Low Resolution for the image impaired.
High Resolution if you want to print it for some reason, I dunno, maybe you like dogs and have a sick sense of humor or something.

These things are a bit repetitive I know, please forgive me.

I will be at the Emerald city Comic Convention this month I would love to meet any of my legion of fans who wish to meet me there, or outside if they are broke. Which my fans most likely are, because they can’t afford to mail me.
Daniel of steamcrow press will be there, a good e-friend of mine, I also see Kaare Andrews will be there.
I met Kaare Andrews at the premiere of “live feed”. I guess Ryan put us together because we are both artists, but neglected to tell me he was anything but, “my friend Kaare” so of course I never knew who I was sitting with.
If I had known I would certainly chatted with him a bit more, instead of avoiding eye contact which is my usual conversation strategy with people I don’t know.
If you see me in public, I am not sure how I will react. I will probably think you are trying to mug me, but I am really out of shape so I will probably not run away too fast.
I hope to see you there!

I have been doing a lot of client stuff lately, and going through a lot personally, so no new sketches lately, but I have this here illustration I can share.

Fray is a quarterly of true stories and original art, and you can get it at Fray.com

Fray…

and my illo. A bit of a digression from my usual style, but it fits the theme I believe.

A card for my wife, She hasn’t seen it yet.

I will be doing something new for 2008.
I will be doing my daily sketches at 3000px at 300 dpi, which gives me an image about 10 inches square.
If someone wants to print them for some silly reason they should look good on some matt photo paper printed with 100% black.
I will be signing each piece if I remember and I will post the full resolution file for download.
If anyone prints it please take a pic and let me know, it will make me feel warm and fuzzy inside and keep me one more day away from suicide.

Oh, the first pic of 2008, which I will post shortly, was painted at 2000 px and I re-sampled it to 3000px, I realized that 6 inches is too small for printing.
As a consequence, the high resolution file is a bit fuzzy, but future files should be in clean crisp buttery aliased glory.

My resolution is to try and be positive about my life and art, and to appreciate what I have with all my heart, (ie: my wonderful family).

For everyone who has written me, thank-you for all your support.
Happy new year!

Do you want me to discuss my images as I post them, or do you think it looks better to simply post them sans text and let the images speak for themselves?
Usually there is not a whole lot to say, but I would be happy to oblige.
Also I was thinking about updating my site, I can either have a front page and gallery with a link to the blog, or just a blog, where you would have to dig down for my images. Which would you prefer?
lastly, what do you think of my site/blog/pictures etc. Do people come here just to see my art, or am I getting a couple hundred random visitors a month? What I really want to know is, am I pissing in the wind here? haha.
I will keep on pissing if thats the case, nothing will change, but I am curious. If I think people are coming regular I will make more of an effort to update more often.
Thanks:)

Until I can figure out why my images won’t show in syndication I will have to add links to the images. It kinda breaks the whole aesthetic of the thing but maybe its better that I talk about the art a bit, I have had complaints in the past about my silence.
This is a portrait of a friend and fellow artist Jon Contino. It was made in photoshop at 1000×1000 at 300dpi using a stock brush.

I inked a drawing by lance sells, a very talented artist I have had the pleasure to work with.
This is something I did for fun, when lance showed it to me I could not resist.

You can see it close up here.
