September 30

I think I chipped my tooth this morning… it really sucks. It’s a tiny little sliver missing from the backside of one of my bottom teeth, but I can feel it! I think I need to take in more calcium…

Still working on commissions, unfortunately the Arwen I did today turned out kinda lame, so I’m going to have to do it again tomorrow. Boba Fett there is up for auction though, click the pic and check it out!

I finished the last issue of Old Man Logan, pretty awesome series, I hope they keep it going… it was definitely left open for a sequel. That’s about it, talk to you all later.

Well I’m definitely trying to have new pictures to post with new updates, I know that it’s a lot nicer when there is something pretty to look at! The Joker card to the left is on eBay for 3 days… starting at 99 cents. I have fun watching these low auctions, and I know it’s nice to steal a card you want at a low price!

I also finished up two more commissions today (I’ll save those to post in later updates), now all I have is about 5 left! I better line some more work up here, otherwise I won’t know what to do with myself.

I heard there was a tsunami warning for California today because of an 8.0 earthquake that took place in the Pacific Ocean. I didn’t hear about it until an hour AFTER it was supposed to hit, guess it didn’t happen…

Not much to report today, not quite finished with the Dr. Zaius card yet, but should be finished tomorrow. After that it’s on to finishing the Luke and Yoda card… hopefully both will be up tomorrow, then I can be moving on to the next piece.

Tried to make some of Tyson’s frozen pre-cooked chicken tonight… bleagh. They taste like giant chicken mcnuggets… but really gross. Waste of money. I’ll try to post an update tomorrow.

Sorry I missed posting yesterday, I thought I’d get off my new job early enough to update the site, but I ended up staying until 1 am, so I figured I’d just update this morning.

I finished up this Wonder Woman in between a few commissions so I could have something listed on eBay. I wanted to do .99 cent auction, so that’s where she started. It’s very exciting when I start a card at a low price, even if it sells for $8 or $9 it’s fun for me to see who’s interested in buying it (if anyone). Just click the picture to head over to the auction.

The new job is great, there’s a lot of running involved, but I needed to start running anyway. So getting paid to run around a lot sounds pretty good to me. Today I’m working on a Dr. Zaius card, and then it’s off to work at 3. I’ll update again tomorrow!

Here’s another commission to check off; this one is also for Graham, and it’s a Cloak card to go along with Dagger. I bit of a different style then the Dagger card, but I’m proud of it, I hope Graham digs it.

I started my new job today, pretty cool. It’s just a part time Bellman/Valet to help me pay some bills. The guys I work with are awesome, and the hotel is gorgeous. I really think this job is going to really help keep me focused (and not so stressed about cash all the time).

Don’t forget that tomorrow is free museum day. Tons of museums around the country are free, so stop by and check one out! I’ll try to post something tomorrow night. Until then, keep it cool… real cool.

Thanks for the recent comments all; it suddenly feels much more lively here! :D

I got the job that I was applying for! Woo hoo! It’s not full time like I originally thought, but I’ll (hopefully) be working around 20 to 30 hours a week. I’m very excited, I think I start tomorrow!

Here is a commission for my buddy Graham. It’s 1 out of 3 he has comin, so I’m trying to get those cranked out, my list is getting shorter and shorter!

It’s my girlfriend and I’s 2 year anniversary today! I can’t believe how lucky I am to have such a great girl, and 2 years flew by!

Thanks for all the support everyone, see you tomorrow!

Thanks for the comments yesterday guys, it’s always nice to know that real people are viewing this site. Not much to show off today, just this Anna Paquin card I did yesterday for fun (click the pic for the auction)… I know I know, commissions! Commission! They’re all coming along nicely trust me, I just don’t want to force anything… I always hate my work when it comes out forced.
I have job interview tomorrow for a regular 9-5… it will be nice to get some regular fundage again so wish me luck!

Did anyone see the Emmy’s? I thought Neil Patrick Harris was hilarious. The show itself was pretty forgetable.

Finished up my first two X-Men Archive APs this week, the image is a little teaser until they’re approved. once that happens I’ll post the full images!

Today was a nice day, except for the fact that the Chargers lost, that sucked.

Still working to finish these commissions, stay tuned, most of them are on there way to completion!

I hope everyone had a good weekend! Feel free to leave some comments guys! It’s kinda lonely all by myself.   :D

I forgot to post a link to the Indy card… it has a couple days left on eBay here.

I seem to be unable to stay focused on one style… part of me loves doing comic book work, while the other part wants to make cool photo-realistic artwork. I am continuously bouncing between these two things, and it usually determines what I decide to work on in a given day.

Still working on commissions, might have a couple projects lined up here soon so I need to get these done ASAP. That’s about all that’s going on here, the new season of the Office looks promising! And football is tomorrow, woo hoo!

Get Back

Getting back into the swing of things here. Slowly but surely getting caught up on stuff and I’ll get more scans up ASAP. Indy here is on eBay, I finished him a while ago and never put him up for some reason… I found him while organizing my table and getting everything set up again. Can’t wait to show off my X-Men APs as soon as they’re ready to show!

On another note; Beatles Rock Band is awesome, but they left out soooo many good songs! I’m sure it’s just so they can charge us later for the downloadable content, but man it sucks! I want Michelle (coming to X-Box live in December), and Your Mother Would Know (not even scheduled for X-Box live).
