zine

Well I haven't gotten around to creating a second zine yet...and may never get to it. However, after reading this post by Roz Stendahl I decided to send in a copy of my "Construction Equipment Guide Zine". Here's more from the process along the way.

I haven't found, er, uh, I mean MADE time to draw much lately. Most aren't flickr/blog worthy anyway. I drew this from a picture on the cover of my son's Ranger Rick magazine. Frogs are cool.

Its a little unfinished. Partly because that's how I like, partly because that's how the picture was cropped, and partly because that was about the time my daughter stumbled out of the tree fort. Not to worry. She's young and limber and the place where she fell was only a few feet off the ground.

It has been a WHILE! Yes, after being unemployed for 6 weeks I ruptured my Achilles tendon, then got a job offer. Three weeks on the job...all with a cast a crutches. So I've been on a drawing hiatus.

This is an idea I had for an entry in the moly_x_60 exchange. Just testing it out. It turned out a lot better than I thought.

What do you think?

Free Pen

Enter a drawing for a free pen giveaway at The Pen Addict. A Copic Multiliner SP Black Ink Pen - 0.35 mm. I've been wanting to try one of these. Come on, no whammies....STOP!

moly_x_60

Well, a dream has been realized, I'm finally a part of one of the many moly exchanges. Well, maybe that's a little dramatic, but I am excited. I'm a part of the moly_x_60 exchange. No themes, necessarily, just a free-for-all sketchbook exchange with 5 other great artists. Check out all the other exchanges at flickr.

I just sent mine off to Boz and I'm getting ready to make my mark on Parita's. Stay tuned, check back often, and check in with the moly_x_60 blog. More cowbell.

Economic Stimulus

This is something I hadn't thought of doing until my wife suggested it. I found a nice board with a routed contour around the perimeter, painted it black, and mounted one of my excavator drawings to the front. I rubber stamped the numbers and added a clock kit from Michaels. Voila.

This is part of a lot which will include four framed and matted prints (dozer, loader, water truck, and roller) I'm donating to my son's school auction.

UPDATE: The school auction was last night. My clock and 4 framed prints sold for full price. Woohoo! I was a little concerned because they started bidding at about 30%.
