It was supposed to be easier after vacation...

Edit: Quickie for Drawergeeks: Joker



SUPPOSED being the key word here... I apologize to those who still stick around hopin that I will post sometime this year. ( I skipped the whole month of may which was my blogs 3 year anniversary. Crazy...)

Here the vacation pics if your interested

And sketches...You would think I would have done some colors or animation. One day I will be back to posting regular. ( I make no guarentees though so dont hold me to it) Thanks for all the kind words to those who comment, as it always makes me feel like Im actually accomplishing something. Heres a big dump just in case it takes me a while to post again.

Til the next dump!

I was checking out the weather on my iGoogle page where I have BloggerPlay running all the time. I saw one of your illustrations and had to check it out. I love quality work. I don't even draw stick figures very well, but I love the art of illustrations. Subscribing right now to this blog...

Solid stuff. The horned monster & the Conan the Cimmerian caricature are my personal favorites.

Also, It would be funny if the caption on the Arkham Asylum postcard said "Wishing you were here...and I wasn't!"
