Milton Caricature
My best friend’s dad asked if I could draw him. He’s essentially my “other dad” and he doesn’t ask for much, so I had to hop on this! I’m going to put some lighting on it tomorrow, and I think it will be good. Everything is put on hold until this is done!

Wonder Woman
I did this originally as a small sketch at work, but then I decided I might as well color it and digitally ink it in Illustrator to work on some of my new techniques I've been doing with my art. I have to say, now that it's all done, I really dig my WW illustration. Sometimes we surprised ourselves.
I'm glad I drew her, she is one I have only drawn once or twice at conventions for requests, and generally those don't look too hot under the time restraint and 360 degree distractions.
One final note, she needs her own movie Time Warner! Just watch that direct to video animated feature, it was amazing. I loved it! They seriously need her kicking ass in celluloid (well technically it's all digital film these days).

30DaysComics Day 21 Movie Night
#30DaysComics Day 21 - "Movie Night"
There's always someone who either wants to sit directly in front of me when there is nobody else in the theater, or someone in my row has a very small bladder and has to squeeze across my seat in the most inopportune times.

#30DaysComics #18 - Heart to Heart
Trying a few new things, including a smaller page size and less panels. I’m also trying not to nail down the perfect comic, but just trying to go with the flow. I came up with three last night at work, and I’ll be posting the other two tomorrow for catch up. Hoping this is a sign of things to come!
BTW, special thanks to Dakota McFadzean and Ian of SmallComix for giving me such great advice!

30 Days Comics Day 16 "Atari"
Another diary comic style page. This time it’s about my memories of playing Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600 and later arcade. I had a lot of fun with this one, and digitally drew everything but the atari and arcade panels, which I drew on paper.
The story itself doesn’t have too much “meat,” but I think it’s a decent entry for the strip. Sometimes I spend more time trying to come up with a decent idea for the 30 Days Comics entry that I can’t even start drawing until the evening or the next day. I know I’m not fast, but I am learning. I really like doing something once a day whether it’s a hit or miss. It’s really tempering my willingness to produce whether or not I’m 100% ready. Can’t always just wait to capture lightning in a bottle, more often or not the creativity has to bloom in the process of making art.
