Hmm

Yeah, so the sketching thing didn’t last, I am in a slump once again (btw still no working scanner). But I did start getting the desire to take photos…Then my digital camera, which wasn’t a great one to begin with, decided it would act up and not work right and I don’t even have a cell phone anymore that I could use to take photos with. Well, I have a cell phone but it is one of those really cheap prepaid phones, I use it only for emergencies. If I made a regular, reliable income I would have a ‘real’ cell phone and for that matter I would have a decent digital camera (and maybe even a new scanner). *sigh*

Oh, and to top it all off I have been sick for 2 weeks. I pretty much had a migraine the whole time. Imagine having constant pain in your head, dizziness and nausea. Fun. I haven’t been able to get anything done because of it and ended up missing some work as well. I think I am better now though.

At least I have Thursday to look forward to. It’s a “Geek Date”; going to the comic book store then to grab a bite to eat at Skyline and finally going to see Star Trek!

 

Getting there

Just a small update…I did a little sketching this weekend, nothing much, but at least I am doing something with my drawing for a change.

I got the idea to make a little cartoony sketch of myself to scan in later so I can touch it up in photoshop and use it as an icon. Then that got me thinking to make one for Ken and have him leaning on a sign with the name of his website. Then both of those led me to thinking these were a couple of the characters I wanted to make in the web comic that I have been wanting to create. So this weekend, or whenever I have some downtime, I think I will finally work on my ideas for the web comic I want to make. I must get those creative juices flowing!

I would post the sketches that I did but my scanner is not working right now. *sigh*

 

Gah!

I seem to have a creative block! I have done nothing since the cartoon sketch of Ken…I had wanted to start working on a webcomic with him but he has been busy with work, designing a website for someone and working on his own website. I think one of my problems may be that I have no inspiration. I don’t get out as much as I use to and I am still trying to get back into the creative groove. Hopefully soon.

But for now why don’t you mock this odd design I came up with once for a project I was given in college…

I have no clue.

 

B&W Photo

Everyone needs a B&W photo! Right? Anyway this was a photo I snapped real quick one day on my cell phone because for some reason I felt the need to take a picture as I passed by. It was taken out in front of Home DePot in Methuen, MA. I decided to make it a black & white simply because I thought it looked better that way.

 

Pen & Ink

This is one of the few things I created in my past that I still managed to have. It’s a loose pen & ink that I drew about 10 years ago but unfortunately never noted what it came from. So I have no idea what I was inspired by….

 

Cartoon Ken

This was just something fun that I did out of boredom one recent night. I made a quick little sketch of a cartoon version of Ken…He wanted me to give him arms but he is lucky that I gave him a neck and shoulders, I was going to just leave him as a floating head. Oh…and his ‘eyes’ are his glasses.

 

Intro

I will be using this as a place to display my graphics and illustrations that I will be creating and if I can get a camera I would also like to share some photos. I have always been creative and loved drawing and taking pictures…Even though I have never been that great at it that never stopped me from enjoying it and trying to improve. A few years ago, after losing almost all the work I created, I suddenly stopped but I am slowly getting back into it and want to have some fun with it.

Sprite. It’s a graphic thing.
