I have some new stuff coming up. And by new, I mean stuff that's years old that has never seen the light of the internet or eyes beyond my own. Oh, and new stuff too.

I was going through my pile of sketchbooks (which is a taller tower than I like to admit) and realized that there was all this stuff I'd forgotten about. Some of it is half-finished stuff, but at the same time stuff I'm inspired to finish now. Going through it all, I realize I really like my work, and even though I've been at a plateau for a few years now, I'm at a skill point I never thought I'd actually get to.

The plateau is my fault, of course, because I haven't been drawing nearly enough. I keep thinking to myself and telling others that I haven't really been drawing for the past four years, but, I look at the books and that obviously isn't true, because there are forty odd pictures that have happened since I moved north that haven't been published online yet, and a handful that have. But, even four score pictures is a pretty dry drought to the thousands that came before it.

However the tide is changing and I've got that bug again. My hand is bothering me tonight and I've got band practice, but, I'm going to start getting stuff up anyway, tonight. I finished one picture I had considered dead art years ago last night, and started another that I really like the direction of, even though it's still in the familiar and I'm trying to get out of beaten tracks.

While I'm going to upload a few things, and start working/finishing others, I'm still waiting on getting my new Wacom tablet. I put down some rulers to get an idea of what the size of an 18"x12" active area tablet would look like, and, DAMN. It sounds good on paper, but gives you a bit of a digial art orgasm to think about what you could do on a surface that big. Amirite?

Anyway, I have an assignment for you. I've gotten a lot of watches from a lot of people, and I love that. I love the idea of people seeing my work. That's why it's here, you know? But, I look at the page views, and there's hardly anything there worth noting. There's some good stuff in there, and more to come. I've seen tons of user pages that have tens of thousands of views when they don't even have any work up. C'mon, take a look, give some feedback. I feed off of that, artistically. The more you look at it and comment on it, the more I get hyped up about doing new stuff to show off, and the more effort I want to put in.

I mean, I'll draw anyway, but I'm less inclined to put the effort into scanning, coloring, posting and writing stuff if it just falls into dead space.

So, Look around, point me out, let me know. And I don't mind if you download stuff so long as you don't redistribute it.
