199 - Front Desk Man!




Had a bit of fun this week doing a farewell piece for one of the workers that is leaving us this week. Our man David is having his last day at Health & Welfare tomorrow and is off to continue helping people with his new position at the Boise VA. As a way to show him how much we all appreciate him and will miss him the idea was brought up to do a kinda super hero caricature of David.
Being the artsy type guy in our office the task was given to me. I think it turned out well. Breaking out the Copics for the first time in to long was a lot of fun. The final result looks pretty good in the frame co-worker Amy snagged for the picture. Should go over well tomorrow.
If anyone is wondering David is portrayed as Front Desk Man which is the hardest position in Child Support Services. I know, it's a position I held off and on for about a year. No one seems to want to come in and talk to Child Support when they are happy so you spend 8 hours a day doing your best to help people understand their position and what you can and can't do for them while trying to be as helpful and understanding as you can be, it is a damn tough job. David's been doing it for a while and it seems he was pretty dang good at it. He will be missed around our office and the VA is lucky to have him.

Small note:  Tonight we did the first ever MEGAPOD with almost all the members of the Media Junk Food Podcast Network, it was epic and a blast to do. If you want to give it a listen it will be up soon on my podcast which can be found HERE

Hope you all have a great recovery weekend after the stress of Xmas.

164 - Bucktooth Noodlearm Boy...I don't know why...


Bucktooth Noodlearm Boy my first creation on my nice new touchscreen laptop. These little suckers aren't bad. This one is a little old but I like it. Downloaded Sketchbook Pro to see if I could get any kind of positive result with the active digitizer stylus and I have to say the combination is nice, no where near what I had with my Wacom on my PC but workable. Using the pencil tool you can get nice sketchy lines that build up even with a stylus and touchscreen that have about 6 layers of sensitivity at most. So here we have the first sketch with my new set up. More to come...

137 - a little logo and screw you SOPA


Just a little piece of a logo I am finally finishing up for a friend from work. I think it is actually turning out better than I originally thought it would. Maybe I am learning a bit as I go.

Tomorrow is the anti-internets day for everyone to protest SOPA. Certain websites are actually shutting down for the day in protest and I thought I would try to do my own little part. Not posting here would not be much to notice so I am going to try and spend all day tomorrow without accessing the internet at all unless required to at work. Other than that, I'm going dark. No Facebook, no Twitter, no PencilJack, no Ants. Oh my god what am I going to do! Oh, hey...look..a book...

136 - ah CHEW! excuse me...


3rd step - went over it with my N1 Neutral Gray Copic marker. Those things are fun. Very little bleeding even on cheap sketchbook paper.

134 - Chew on this!


Trying to bring out my inner @Rob_guillory with this sketch here of the great detective Tony Chu from the even greater comic book Chew from Image comics. If you haven't read Chew yet you are missing out. Great mix of mystery and humor. I bought the first 4 volumes for the wife for Xmas and she is loving them so far. 


I will post the rest of the process as it goes. Planning on inking this one and then maybe trying out the new Copic markers.
