OK, so where was I? Oh, that’s right, I was updating my journal for the first time in two years!

First and foremost, my wife and I are once again participating in the Breast Cancer 3_Day, in Tampa Bay this time, October 31 – November 2. We would greatly appreciate your donations, and I would love for you to read the beautiful piece I’ve written for her. If you know anyone affected by this terrible disease, please go here to donate: [link] . No amount is too small. Every penny is appreciated.

And speaking of Breast Cancer, I’ve decided that I draw so many Breast Cancer pieces, I would start a separate account for them: . I’ll still list all of my Breast Cancer Awareness Art here as well, but I would prefer that you comment and fav them over there. Some favorites from that account:



Here are a few pictures I’ve either recently completed, or just got around to putting up:



So what else am I working on? Well, I’m finally working on something I’ve had kicking around in my head for a long time. I’m also drawing the very first page of my own comic book. More on that later. I’ve also started another biblical piece, which may or may not turn into a life’s work type of thing. And I’m certain I’ll do more of the Breast Cancer Awareness pieces kicking around in my head.

I also wanted to make everyone aware that I do commissions if anyone is interested. You see my style, you see what I’m capable of. If you are interested, please contact me. I also want to let you know that many of my originals are available for sale. If you are interested in anything specific, please let me know. This applies to both of my accounts.

On Saturday, January 28, 2006 (my dad’s birthday), this picture:
was chosen as a Daily Deviation. It was recommended by and selected by I wanted to express my gratitude to both of those deviants and to all the members who commented and faved this piece who I didn’t have a chance to properly thank. Lame as it may sound, it was one of the most gratifying, important, and proud moments in my life as an artist. Recognition by one’s peers may be the most sincere compliment and artist can receive.

Here's some clubs I either belong to or have inquired about:



I expect to join some more in the near future.

I've never really been much for journals and blogs, so I will just tell you a bit about my art.

All of my work is pen and ink (why do they call it pen and ink anyway?). Specifically, India ink. I used to work in pencil, and will occasionally do something in just pencil, but I have grown to love the contract and sharpness I can get from ink. Everything starts with rough pencils and is eventually embellished with Micron graphic pens. I used to use Penstix, but they tend to fade over time while the Microns hold up very well. They also come in better line depths and also a variety of colors, which I started experimenting with not too long ago.


My best work:

Which is not only a masterful piece of art I would hold up to anything ever produced by any artist, but also is touching tribute to someone my entire family loved dearly.

Some others I consider to be among my best:




I also very much like the abstract pictures that come straight from my imagination:



And let me shout out to my Amazing, beautiful, lovely, CANCER FREE wife by sharing some of the overly sappy, lovey dovey pictures I drew for her that always seem to come out pretty good:




Make sure you visit my kid’s gallery. She’s an art student at UCONN who needs to upload some of the amazing stuff she’s done in the last few years:

Also, say hi to one of our family’s real-world friends:


I also wanted to mention a few pictures that either didn't live up to their potential, or just simply suck:


And I would be remiss if I didn't throw in a few nudie girls, big boobed babes, and scantily clad super heroines:


By the way - [link]



Later!
