Artist Day

If you ask yourself why ARTISTS (tattooists, painters,singers,dancers,musicians or anyone who falls under the artist category) charge "so much" for performances... We don't get paid vacation, we don't get paid sick days, we don't get bonuses for outstanding performances nor for Christmas. We don't have insurance plans. We sacrifice our family on special days so that we can bring happiness to others. Illness or personal affairs are not excuses for a bad performance. Next time you ask, remember that ARTISTS are ARTISTS because of the love of music & art but that love doesn't pay debts. Happy Artists Day!! 

Re-post if you're an ARTIST

Possums, hoops and science, OH MY!

Know how you can tell when its Fall?  ....I update!  Yay!  Really, I apologize for the lack of posts around here.  I don't have any excuse except for life, things happen.  But something is better than nothing, right?

Here's a sneak peek of a comic strip I'm working on about those great scientists who help shape the world we live in and tell us what to think.

Another scientist

Busted out the Wacom for these and had such a blast.  For me, sometimes paper is just too blah!  Not to sound overly dramatic, but sometimes its like I'm drawing on sand and have to fight til things look the way I feel they should.  You need a smoother surface so you feel as though your ideas just glide out.

Last week I met this guy.  I'm peckin away at the computer when I hear some noise outside my window.  I turn the back porch light on and resting on the air conditioner unit is a possum.  He's scavenging for the cheese in the pizza boxes because your girl was too lazy to walk the 5 extra steps to the recycling bin.  I geek out at my limited interaction with nature so much that I attempt to rally the sleeping troops (my family) for an expedition.  ...so all I could get was Mom, but we still took some pictures.  This guy was gnarly!  Next morning I sit at the drawing table and here you go!  I got bored and decided to call it quits with the tail.

Oh yeah!  I also designed a website as well as a corporate identity for a dear friend of mine.  Check her site out, and if you're in the I.E. sign up for some lessons.
