May Madness

  • Playing: Witches in Bikinis' tunes
Okay, it's not really madness. It just sounded catchy. ;) Hey guys, just a little update. This month I'm continuing to work on pages for my upcoming Rocket & Bounce webcomic [link] for the Cranky Octopus [link] site. I'm also working on some illustrations for a book of spooky children's poems along with some other misc. drawin' stuff.

It's been a busy week, and very little of it had to do with drawing unfortunately. Monday - Wednesday my after work time was largely devoted to band practices and Thursday was a Witches in Bikinis show. Lots of fun, but not lotsa' drawin', lol. The Witches have a bunch of shows coming up this summer if any of you New York types want to come check out an amazingly fun show. Show dates and music tracks can be found at our MySpace page. --> [link]

The free sketches from last month were a lot of fun. When I get a couple things sorted out with my free time I'll probably end up doing some more of those. :)

I still need to see Iron Man. Darnit.

If you're a comics fan do yourself and favor and go read Sentinels!

I picked up the first two trades at the NY Comic Con and it was easily my favorite purchase of the weekend. Great character interaction and art, and an evolving, emotional and fun story with plenty of action. The perfect cure for those of you sick of the current state of superhero comics (well, at the big two anyway). Check out their website [link] or hop on over to the creator's DA page :iconricber: You'll be glad you did.

All for now,
Gene

You say the hill's too steep to climb, chiding
You say you'd like to see me try, climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way

Instead of recreating the classics for today's youth, why not educate today's youth to appreciate the classics?
