Tina and I have enjoyed computer games in the past. Recently we got to Beta test ‘Glitch’ a MMO game about little people that are dreamt up inside the minds of Gods/Giants. It is addicting. VERY addicting. Sadly the beta test ended WAY too soon. Luckily, it’s coming back. Soon.

Until then, here is an illustration I did for my character:

If you play, look me up. I am ‘Sketch Book’.

I was using our car the other day but Tina had a dentist appointment in the morning so I took her and waited in the lobby until she was finished. I took that time to have a cup of coffee and sketch the office.

[as always, if you click on the pictures it will make them BIGGER!]

This one has Tina on her laptop/external monitor that she is having to use right now since the screen on her laptop is going out. On her head is our cat, Mojito, making friends with some moths.

It’s not cut of at the bottom, I just drew it in a wide format.
I suggest clicking it to view the image at full size. It’s niiiice.

The cold weather came on REALLY fast, this year.
Usually in Texas it gets gradually colder… this year it was hot, rain, cold, warmish, cold.
It’s nice.

Last night Tina launched her newly-redesigned online Illustration Portfolio.

I spent some time helping Tina redesign the site, focusing on her love of painfully-cute bees, modern graphic design and her own illustrations.

In the design I sketched out the bees for placement and let Tina do the artwork to fit the rest of her work.

So go congratulate Tina on her success!

Recently I have been searching for something new; I have been feeling uninspired.
I am trying to find some inspiration in my own life, in the things that I already have and use and love. Sometimes it could just be a change in perspective, i think.

I hope this helps you, too.

…is on the way!
Here is a peek:

The new logo goes with an entirely new portfolio site that will be released sometime. Tina and I have been working for the last day and will be periodically working on it until it is finished.

Enjoy.

I have been busy these days. Between work and fixing our house (pictures to come) I have had little time to put into personal projects. There are some new things in the works, no doubt.

Below are some sketchbook pages that I did not feel like scanning, photos will have to do.
Enjoy.

I do not usually do these ‘personal’ posts but… it was a nice weekend.
Sunday morning was so beautiful that we took a nice walk for about two hours around the ‘neighborhood’.

Tina stole some clippings of the neighbor’s plants:

Here was the cat, as we were making lunch after the walk:

A few weekends ago Tina Spry painted our mailbox and porch lights. Here is how that went:

That’s it.
