Wuh-Wha-Whattt... Could it be...Another Update?

YES it is! So I am still slaving away day and night on this whole new portfolio thing in preparation for my trip to L.A. in a few mere weeks. While I have made a LOT of progress and feel like I have put together my strongest batch of samples ot date, I still often times wonder if I will be able to accomplish all that I have planned - Such is the plight of the hare-brained procrastinatin artiste. Lately as I near closer and closer to finishing up, I find I need to take a break from what it is I am SUPPOSED to be drawing and just do some sort of thing for the sake of nothing more than just to do it - or whatever. I have actually filled up two entire sketchbooks and assorted other lonely scraps of copy paper over the past month or so and thus have LOADS of new stuff to share with you guys. So much so that I really would like to try and put together at least a small half-assed attempt at a sketchbook for San Diego to trade and hand out to folks who are there. Time will tell though if I will be able to fit that in somewhere. I'll let ya know. Enough blabbering already, time for some artwork. This batch of images are all somewhat related in that they are sketches that I whipped up with the idea in the back of my cloudy rotten mind that I will turn them into paintings sometime soon after I get back from California. First up is a little something extra Girlie that I whipped up for my niece's 5th birthday that I hope to have painted for her in time. next batch is a couple of loose ideas that still need work for possible entries in next years I am 8-bit show. This one is just some sort of cartoony & cute sea lion type character that I thought I might like to try and paint just for the hell of it. And here is the latest in a long line of one of my favorite subjects - Ducks! (birds in general) I like this little guy a lot and just think he needs like a topless mermaiden towards the left hanging out on some rocks calling him hither with her witchy-woman charms and then it might be a WINNER! And here we have something that I won't say much about, but if anyone out there can tell guess correctly as to roughly what it is, I'll do up a sketch for you of whatever you like as a special booby prize.
