notes, thoughts and events

I'm trying to get my desk cleaned off today, and I had this one done for a while and sitting around.  My studio is in an old, drafty house and I'm too stingy to turn the heat up.  This Winter has been a good one, and if I know Kansas weather, it's not over yet.

I inked it.  Used my Raphael 8404 #2.  I'll see if I can get it colored soon, too.  I've got some other stuff I gotta get knocked out.

I've gotta do it.  It's not like there is any extra time for it or anything, but it needs to get done.  It's good for the job, it's good for the soul.  Here's the sketch.  I'll see how quick I can get this sucker finished up.

I've been really busy recently.  Everyone is, I'm sure.  I know I've been really busy when I do homework--which to me is work that I bring home with me and do.  I've been doing a lot of that recently.  Wears me out if I do too much. I also don't get to show off too much stuff because of confidentiality stuff-- I can't "publish" it until it's been published by my client, but once they get it done, I've kind of forgotten about it (see my note about being busy in the previous paragraph).  Here's a little piece of a piece that I did in the last couple of days.  I think I'd really like having one of these little trucks.

After getting this logo worked up, I was told that 99% of the guys who run mud trucks run Chevys-- a detail of which I was not aware.  It's a Chevy now, and it's on a brown shirt.  They did white ones in the past which, as the nature of the sport would indicate, were turned into rags fairly quickly.
