Let me just say that it has been an absolute blessing this past week-point-five to, for the most part, just do my own thing when I want, the way I want. I finally broke out the brushes and found I’m not as rusty as I’d feared. I will soon jump back onto a couple commissioned portraits. But first! This is what I started today. It needs work still, but it’s coming along rather nicely. It’s 9″x12″ oil on canvas board. It’s a portrait of my brother’s gf, based on a photo I’d taken of her when I was in NYC sometime last year. At any rate, it’s still a work-in-progress (WIP), but so far so good.
More later!

Here are a couple of ball pointers from the last two days. Done post work. I’m just now starting to fall in love with my Moleskines. I think we’re moving to second base.
I’ll post more as they appear!

At long last the cover for Dakota Rawhide Book II is just about finished. By tomorrow night, the finishing will be complete. If that makes any sense. The text is not decided on as yet and some minor tweaks to Dakota are in order, but hopefully nothing to hectic. I changed the format of the book from landscape to portrait. It will be standard graphic novel dimensions. I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t wait to see the final presentation. It’s nice to be excited about my own projects. It makes it easier to work on them every single waking hour… somewhat easier. I kid. It’s been a grueling blast the whole way. I’ve learned a lot, as usual, as one should on any project to which they commit themselves. I’ve had a lot of fun planning out the book, writing the story, projecting ahead to the future stories, as well as a couple flashback stories in the works. I’ll detail some of that out in the near future.

[EDIT] Okay, this is the last update to the banner! I promise. Mostly because I’m just plum out of time. You will find it at booth #5557! So come on by and say hi! I’ll post something more alluring and formal soon. For now, just enjoy the image.
