Tell Denver Post That Size Matters

If you live in the Denver area and were a reader of the Rocky Mountain News, please write to the editor of the Post and tell him they are running their comics too small! They can't expect loyal RMN readers to switch to a paper that runs microscopic comics. If they expect to double their circulation after the loss of the RMN, I say make 'em work for it! Now is the time, and there will never be a better opportunity to effect a positive change upon the state of comics in America!

Pig on a Ball

My last pig for a while.

Piggypalooza

The Three Little Pigs - The Early Years

Another Pig

"Did sombody say.. pigs?!"

On topic I suppose. Very good stuff, fellow tubmates. 

When Pigs Fly

What with the Piggie-fest going on, I felt compelled to pig out myself. Sketched and nearly ruined in Sketchbook Pro.

Warm-Up Drawing.

Every morning I do a small warm-up drawing to get me in the right groove before I start painting the project that's on my drawing board.

Here's day's warm-up drawing, another pig.

Pig Pie Peddler

Ink, watercolor and a touch of Photoshop on Holbein watercolor paper

Here you go!

This is scanned in at the actual size i did it. it's on Strathmore imperial 500.  Most of the time I like the scan better than the original because it boosts the color. Not so much on this one. 

Poor

A quick warm-up drawing.

Heeere poochie.

Nice poochie. Pooch -pooch- poochie- poo!

Ok. Enough of that. 

Recession

I am so ahead of my time, I drew this cartoon over five years ago.

Sketch

This is something in a bit of a different style. Doing some experimenting.

Happy Valentine's Day, Charlie Brown

Cooking with What?!?

After seeing Ted's moose book post, I thought I'd show one of my favorite books.
I'd like to think everyone who worked on this book giggled the whole time at the title.

The Moose With Loose Poops

Yes, this is a real book.

Ted's 90 degree trick.

There were times I scanned things in and i just couldn't understand why some scans were remarkably better than others. One of the solutions was simply looking at the grain of the paper and turning it 90 degrees on the scanner so those shadows didn't show up as they do with the one on the right.  I need to thank Ted for solving this for me earlier in this post.  I've had many happy scans since then.

Bl¡tz Comic Strip

A preview of the Bl¡tz comic strip is online starting today and you can read it daily here.

R.I.P.

My iBook is dead.
It's sad, really.
It was my engagement present from my wife.
It was a good laptop, until the logic board failed ... the first time.
Then Apple placed a recall on iBooks like mine and I got the repair for free.
I had to send it back to Apple THREE more times to get the same logic board issue fixed.
On the fourth time, the folks at Apple said if it fails again, they wouldn't fix it.
The logic board failed again and now the laptop refuses to come on when I push its Power Button.
It's finally dead. For good.
It has sentimental value, so I'll probably bury it somewhere in my studio.
I'll miss it.

Not sure if I can replace it with another.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust .....
