213 - I'm Gonna Geek...or how I learned to spread my love on the internet

Things have been hectic and I would just like to send out a huge thank you to anyone still around and reading this thing. After a little talking to from my writer and editor of GEEK it was brought to my attention that I have been slacking and it is time for some serious pages. So I've basically been putting in full time job hours during my hours after work. A 40 hour work week followed by 40+ hours at my home computer over each of the last 2 weeks has been a frenetic blast of fun and nights with little sleep. Not sure how some people go full bore like this for years, but that's what I'll be doing over the next couple months as I lay down the colors over 130 pages of GEEK. So far I can't share pages that I'm working on with you guys but soon you will be seeing some pages that I have to say are turning out spectacular.

In the small bits of in between time when I'm not coloring I have actually stopped drawing as the 80+ hours a week at my computers are taking a toll on the wrist. Instead I have aimed a bit of my thinking power toward writing. Specifically writing about geeky stuff that I enjoy and would like to point people towards. I will be doing this over at a lovely site called GonnaGeek.com.

I have done a few blah blah blah posts on here and if you liked them I believe you will really enjoy what I will be presenting over at Gonna Geek. My first post went up today reviewing that beautiful thing that is Infinite Kung Fu by Kagan McLeod, if you've got a minute go take a look, give it a read, and if you leave me a comment I'll owe you a cookie - http://www.gonnageek.com/2013/06/bachmans-best-infinite-kung-fu/

So for the foreseeable future I'll probably be a bit more vocal over there then over here. And when things really start rolling in the next couple of months, man...you won't believe how much is coming and I'll be so happy to tell you all about it. So stay tuned.

212 - it's to quiet...

It has been far to quiet around this blog for far to long! And I have no one to blame but myself. Prepare yourself for a deluge of pics and stuff.

If you have a minute go give this a listen and it explains a lot of where I've been and what I've been doing - CLICK HERE! 

211 - Who dem guys?

More of the standardized male body types from Christopher Hart's spectacular book Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist. I'm thinking of going back through these and practicing my digital inking right over the top of them for practice and because in the book Hart gives the under anatomy and a finished version.

Working my sketches in between coloring pages of GEEK which is finally starting to speed up as I am finding new faster ways to get the same results I was getting at the beginning so fingers crossed I can start really turning out pages to ease the minds of the GEEK guys.

ECCC is less than 2 weeks away now and I am getting really excited! Got my tattoos prepped and ready to go. Got a nice New Warriors convention sketchbook ready to get it's first sketch in it! I'm SO ready to go!

And if I didn't have enough other things going on I am now prepping to start a new pod cast. If you have listened to Tom vs The Flash by Tom Katers or Tales From the Attic by the always hilarous Donny Salvo on the PKD podcast you have an idea of what I want to do, roughly. If I tell you that I am going to name it the Crash Pad Podcast and you are a fan of a certain book then you now have a really good idea of what I'm going to be doing. I think it's going to be fun. Planning on recording the first test pod in the next couple of days and I have a couple guys ready to review it for me and hit me with some feedback. Fingers crossed.

210 - Raising Cain!

During my color breaks today I did a Cain from Robocop 2 sketch for the oh so lovely Weekly Sketch Group over on the so so special PencilJack.

Enjoy.

209 - Whose's that guy?

Standardized male body types. More of the awesome Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist by Christopher Hart. Still enjoying my way through this book in between bouts of coloring.
Hope you are all enjoying your year so far.

208 - with a Bullitt

The 10 minute sketch for PencilJack's weekly sketch group had some serious speed this week. Fun stuff. Can't remember the last time I tried to draw a car. I am way out of practice.

207 - Jump Jump PencilJack will make ya Jump Jump

This mornings warm up was once again the lovely 10 minute speed drawing challenge for the PencilJack Weekly Sketch Group. Fun was had. That is all.
