lots has happened in the year since my last journal entry. I've started a job, lost another, gotten a girlfriend, and parted ways with her too. like I said, busy. It's been a fun ride, but I wouldn't say no to a slightly slower pace for a bit. In the meantime, I'm excited to go to a few end of summer shows (Teenage Bottlerocket!), and looking for a new second job. The grass never grows beneath my feet, you know. I'm also working on a few pictures in the hopes of putting a small portfolio together, including a couple more comic samples. You can't go wrong with action, adventure, sarcasm, and a touch of horror, right?

It wasn't quite art block, but definitely an artistic dry spell. at any rate, it's finally over, so I'm back to my sketchbook-murdering ways. take that, forests! :evillaugh: so many changes have happened lately. most relate to work. won't bore you with details, but I'm starting a new job soon. it's about damn time, right? finally, I've discovered a bunch of cool bands lately. of particular note are Fear of Lipstick, and Dopamines. if you're into pop punk, give them a listen. You won't regret it! now, if only they'd drop by my little city....

I've been working on my inking skills more and more these past couple of months. I'm getting quite a bit better, so that's pretty cool. I've also been experimenting with Prisma cool grey markers. plenty of mistakes have been made, but it's been a fun ride. on a more personal note, I finally nabbed a copy of the self-titled album by OFF!. it's pretty awesome, though I'm looking for more music by The Creeps and Fear of Lipstick. wonder if it's bad that Punk Rock is my muse... as always, there's plenty more coming down the pike. I just need the time to scan and share. not an easy feat when you're always on the go. :w00t!: is anyone in the Sea
