Luke Skywalker Hand

So I’ll let the secret out.  I was fighting for my life with a demented man in black armor, and my right hand (the one I draw with) got cut off.  I mean, “GOT CUT OFF!”  Without a bucket of ice close by, the hand was gone for good, so it was replaced by one of those fancy robot hands like the one Luke Skywalker got at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.

I’ve been trying to draw for the past three weeks, but this new appendage is much stronger than the previous one, leaving a lot of broken drawing implements strewn about my desk and floor.  The wonders of technology.

Now this thing is finally starting to do what it’s supposed to, and things will be moving along at a much more normal pace.  By “things will be moving along,” I mean drawing, painting, and then posting about the pieces here.  For now, I can offer you the start of an online gallery at my home page.  A screen shot below (which you can also click) will give you an idea of the ground-breaking web design that my design bot has come up with.  The hard-working android was free with purchase of the hand.

The acrylic paintings on canvas measure 20″ x 24″ each and were shot with a digital camera.

You’ll notice that I have yet another email address for contact purposes, but eat.draw.eat at gmail still works.  I have too many email addresses.  It’s like the problem I have with buying sketchbooks before they’re filled.

Thanks for continuing to check out this blog!

Dear Blog,

[I know you don't like being called "blog."  Sorry.]

Lately, I’ve been neglecting you.  I’m liked one of those extremely dumb mothers that goes to her day job at the strip club and leaves her poor baby inside of a car that reaches 100 degrees thinking things will be okay as long as the windows are cracked open.  No, I don’t find any of that the least bit funny, and I don’t find my lack of posts here hilarious either.

This message is my feeble attempt at an apology.  I know it would mean more to you, blog, if I actually posted a drawing, maybe even a photo.  One will be up very soon.

Remember last April when I posted every day?  I do, and I’ll try to live closer to those standards from here on out.  Yes.  There’s a possibility that you’ll have a new name soon (we’ve talked about it for months), and maybe even a new directory on my domain (only if there are changes to your style sheet even though you’re already very stylish).  Whatever happens from here on out, just know that I’ll try harder.  The honeymoon isn’t over yet, sugar.

(This is where some people put those hearts made out of punctuation and numbers.  I can’t bring myself to cheapen my feelings.)

Never did do those

I was planning to focus on character design for a couple of weeks and never got around to it.  Here are some sketches that will be developed more in ink and Photoshop.  Watching bits and pieces of the Olympic opening ceremony and the variety of clothing is mind-blowing.
