3 years and he hasn't given up on me yet!

(robot image courtesy of the one and only david petersen!)

three years ago today... ryan and i got married. 

holy CRAP... it doesn't feel that long ago, does it?

aaaaanyway, i just wanted to say that ryan is my best friend and one of the best things that ever happened to me. he's the peanut butter to my jelly, the grilled cheese sandwich to my tomato soup and the chocolate chips to my cookie. 

i don't think i'd be where i am (and where i'm going) without his love, encouragement, support, scruffy face and all around chuck-norris-level of awesomeness. he's the best thing since sliced bread. 

lost connection ala' craigslist...

eep!

i need a nice man to re-e-mail me. he was interested in getting one of my wolverine origins artist proofs. (i just got *one* sent to me, that's all i got. one.). he's missed out on my last several returned cards so i want to give him first dibs on this one... but i've accidentally deleted the query e-mails he's sent me!. 

i'll know his e-mail/name when i see it, so please, contact me asap! otherwise i have to offer it up to someone else!

i was piddling about with a recent commission i finished up to play with some new textures i've been making n' this is el' result-o.

a few pieces from my upcoming sketchbook

i have a few new pieces done that are going in the new "naughtier" version of my 2009 sketchbook. 

the originals of these are going up for sale soon, as well as a few others i'll be posting later this week. i'll also be offering the option to color them to whoever purchases them. 

i FINALLY finished up a longstanding pile of commissions. i'll be making a post office run this week to start sending them out.

wookiees and babes

a few wookiee drawings from the other day:

a 9x12 harli that i drew while i was sitting at my table at free comic book day. i think i'll color her up and offer the original for sale.

if ryan could take over les stroud's life, he would

the other day, ryan was filling out a facebook "5" thing about his celebrity look-a-likes. 

personally, i think ryan is a mix of andy serkis and les stroud... at some angles, ryan is a DEAD RINGER for les. (right down to the scruffy face). but if andy and les had an alternate world love-child, it would be ryan. :P

so i made this:

i was thrilled that they asked me to do the art for it. the inks were done in micron pen, the colors in photoshop
