the pursuit of relative wealth

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

My last post got me to thinking about the pursuit of wealth. Paul tells us that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. That many who want to get wealthy peirce themselves with many griefs. Proverbs speaks to those wearing themselves out to get rich, that they [...]

A well-known writer in the comic industry once said that he has two modes when working. Can’t start, and can’t stop. I’ve found this to be true for myself over time. I have periods of extreme productivity, followed by periods where I try to work, but can’t seem to get going no [...]

Wilmingtown 07

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Sarah and I just got back from our annual trip to Wilmington where we celebrated our ninth anniversary.

This evening I’ve been working on some pages that I have to get done for a submission. I think working on [...]

I did and now get the dreaded “Unknown Error 5002″ every time I try and buy a song. I did a little research and found [...]

sketchbook 07

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Today I spent all morning putting together volume 1 of my sketchbook containing a lot of the commission work I’ve done over the last year. Unfortunately, I feel like most of the work I do in color loses something when converted to black & white…so much so that I’m completely not interested in doing [...]

This morning I decided it was the perfect day to head downtown and do some sketching and take some reference pictures of the buildings. As you can see, nature cooperated nicely.

I spent the first few hours in The Green Bean (The coffee shop downtown) and found the perfect table for stealthily drawing the people [...]
