Homage

For me, Gary Mello is the example of what both a father and husband should strive to be. I can think of no better person to be the subject of my "Homage" image for Illustration Friday. Unfortunately, he's in the hospital right now fighting some pretty advanced kidney cancer.

This is the only photograph to have survived the fire.

We want illustration...

So this is my Illustration Friday "Portrait" of Patrick McGoohan as The Prisoner. My lack of being born prevented me from catching this show when it originally aired, but thanks to the magic of DVD (and the San Francisco Public Library) I've been able to see it. My favorite thing about the character might be that his face seems permanently stuck giving a disapproving people's eyebrow, an expression I tend to make quite frequently myself. Next on my list of old TV shows to catch is The Rockford Files.

Be seeing you.

Puting the "cycle" back in My Weekly Cycle

It used to be I'd only use the tablet for inking and coloring, but now I find myself doing more straight up sketching and *gasp* animating with it. This weekend I was sketching with said tablet and listening to one of my friend Jeremy's songs. The product of this activity is the quick and dirty cycle of him playing a tambourine featured above.

I'm not sure why I'm playing a Christmas song in June, but I think it has something to do with the adorable banter with his fiancée at the beginning. Can I refer to something as "adorable" or does that have some negative effect on my gonads? Oh well, it can't be any worse for my person than the copious amounts of caffeine I pump through my body. Mmmm sweet sweet caffeine.

Oh yeah, you'll need Flash to see the animation.
