Pencils W.I.P.


I'm still working on this one. It's almost there.

Anybody remember pencils?




Some time in December, I realized that I miss pencils. I decided to make a series of drawings painstakingly rendered, millimeter by millimeter, with a 2B mechanical pencil.

Nerd-ish Nite


Last night I gave a talk at Nerd-type-Nite - an event where bay area nerds talk to other nerds about what they do for a living. I mentioned a couple of things that people wanted to know more about. Specifically, the tablet I work on (digitally) is called a cintiq. This is NOT affiliated with www.nerdnite.com, which I don't think I would qualify for anyway since I am so intimidatingly cool.

and the nifty color tool to which i referred can be downloaded somwhere around here for free.

Also, if you want to paint at home, Artrage is great, and at 80 dollars, totally cheap.
