Overkill

Man, it's been far too long since I posted some artwork. Busy, busy past few months. The new job at Ultra Creative is going great, freelance projects are done, and the holidays are over. Everyone at MPS Industries central is doing fine. I hope to have a lot of new artwork to share in 2009.

Nordvik the Goat Boy

A small sketch utilizing some new, painted textures.

Ghosts of Autumn

A very small sketch, but I need to do more small things.

That rhymed. How amusing.

You can't run away from your own head

Finished this up a little while ago, but I've been too busy to post much. Started a new job two weeks ago, and I'm having a blast.

Composition and Color Study

Got a chance to play with some shapes yesterday and built this weird little flower. Amanda and I have a small amount of flowers around our townhome, some planted by the association and some that are ours in pots. We've been spending a lot of time tending them recently, removing dead blooms, weeding and pruning the herbs. The biggest surprise this year has been how well our herbs have done. I really should have had more uses for thai basil in mind before I planted it, the thing is monstrous.

Earlier in the week I went to the Farmer's Market by the University and picked up a bouquet of wildflowers for Amanda and delivered them to her during my lunch hour. (Because I'm smooth like that.) I've had flowers on my brain this week, so it's really no surprise I drew this.

"...and we'll settle up underneath the old hanging tree."

I'm not sure which one I trust least.
