Yes, I’ve finally finished the all-consuming illustration job! I say “all-consuming” because it’s actually eaten years off the end of my life, though the fault was ultimately my own. When one foolishly quotes a production schedule of 10 per week (with 3-4 hours per drawing), and forgets that he already works 40 hours at a regular job, he ends up with extra bags under his eyes.

Just to give you an idea, here are a couple examples of what I’ve been doing.


How’s that for fun? It’s been an incredible learning experience, and a real joy (who doesn’t like drawing pirates?).

Thus, I feel refreshed and invigorated, and will have a Coming Distractions for you all later today!

Groove on.
