Hoo! Strange times...

My life is getting a little weird. I mean, just last night, a couple of my former bandmates said we should do a reunion gig Saturday night, but just hours ago, I was told there would NOT be a reunion at all because another band on the bill dropped out.

Hard to explain.

Anyway, I admit I've been kind-of going astray, but that's because there are so many projects I want to do, but it's hard to say where to begin. I did an editorial illustration for a corporate presentation, and here it is. This one, I did each part pretty much over night as far as the penciling went, then inked it the following night after seeing if any changes were mandated.

That was a fun gig. I really enjoyed it. I actually think I might go back and print it up and paint it on watercolor paper. Y'know, old school style (in fact, they still do that sometimes).

This assignment came at a time when I was really starting to worry about where things were going, so I'm so glad I got this assignment done in a timely manner and it came out as well as it did. I'd love more editorial gigs.

I did this sketch of the gorgeous Dina Meyer a few nights ago. I'll never forget when I was 14 and I saw her in Starship Troopers, which was a great movie anyway, but about 1/3 of the way in came the shower scene featuring naked people of both male and female persuasions. In she comes and she just throws off her shirt. I was in heaven until her character died at about the end of Act II. I cried. Okay, no I didn't, but her dying still sucked, especially since it seemed like she almost got the guy.

Flash forward several years: I noticed she was on Twitter, so I Tweeted her with it and she said, "Nice!"

I'm glad to be alive.
