Undead and untitled

Here is a project I'm working on for my friend Sara. She is currently putting together a VLARP game to run in the near future. For this game she is creating a "vampire newsletter" that gives some backstory and clues to the game's secrets. We sort of simultaniously had the idea that a cartoon could be in the newsletter. This is the result:

I'm pleased with the results. Only one problem, we can't decide on a name for it. We've bounced ideas off one another and nothing 'sounds right' to both of us.

Can any of you creative people out there come up with a good idea or three?

Happy Easter Froggy-poo....

I just can't stand it. I had to put this up. It's one of the funniest ads I've ever seen.

They had this frog blown up to 3 feet tall at my local Wal-Mart. What gets me is how happy it is....

Oh, btw Happy Easter to everyone! If you don't celebrate Easter, then Happy March 27th anyways!

Happy Anniversary!

Well it's been 1 year since Jen and I got married (Mar 23, 2004) down in San Antonio. I am blessed to have such a beautiful, creative, smart, and caring person in my life! We've had a good year together, and hope that there are many more to come.

Here is a picture from our wedding.

Fam-Damily Revisited

Here is the other "Fam-Damily" cartoon I finally got around to scanning today (after I found the thing).

On another note:
I recently submitted my blog to LS Blogs which is pretty cool. It lets you search/be listed by category, location, and name. Worth a look-see.

Time for dinner. Yum!

Another sketch and question....

Here is another

Question time:
Do you like seeing these sketches, and other drawings or do you prefer to see just the gag cartoons/strips?

Thanks!

A Long Rambly Type Of Post...

This is from my 'ink and color' sketchbook (that I got for Christmas). I sketched in ink pen (Zig) and I later colored this with ink (Winsor & Newton, also a gift) and brush.

This stuff mostly a outgrowth of the feeling that I need to draw more from real life. But don't worry, more funnys are coming!

I recently met a friend of William named Norvell Maples . Will has recently left Lubbock to pursue art in San Diego (new school and new job). Will had me return some things to Novell and naturally we talked for about an hour on all sorts of things.

Its wierd, I think Will leaving has forced me to be a bit more social. Will is very social, and has all sorts of friends in Lubbock, many interested in art. I feel like I need to bridge the gap and begin to really get to know these people. In future posts I'll be mentioning them, and (if they have a web prescense) linking to them.

One last note:
I listened tonight to a radio show about comics on 88.1 KTXT called 'Metropolis'. I've heard it before, but I thought I'd mention it because I recently met one of the hosts, at the "comics jam" we had last week at the 50th Street Caboose. I need to get in touch with those guys....

A Virus and Christmas Denouement.

My computer recently caught an annoying, but not fatal, virus. I have been working nearly two weeks to set it right, and finally I have. So, here we go:

I went to dinner with my father on Wednesday, and gave him this.
That's right. It does exist. I'm not crazy (at least not that crazy). The credit card wallet from my Feb 14th cartoon post found it's way to me through my Mother-In-Law. I must say, she is a kind and thoughtful woman. Sometime after reading my cartoon she found the wallet in a catalog, and ordered it for Dad. He was pleased that it still existed, but will continue to use the one I gave him until it wears out.

Thats all for now.
