Color!

Hey, 

Amy loved my Illustration that I did last night and asked if she could color it.  I said sure I had an Idea for minimal color which I'm posting below as well as her version. 

Sunday Sunday Sunday!

Got up real early cause Amy and I were taking advantage of there being no Krav Maga today to go into the city. We decide to take in a drawing class over at The Spring Street Studio. While I wasn't really happy with my work I did manage to put together this piece.

Illustration Friday.

Hey all, 

So yesterday I was asked to help warm up the Level Two class at Krav Maga. I did about 25 minutes and got some good feedback about the drills I ran. Did a bunch of errands like the bank, post office, art store and supermarket. Took a nice nap and worked on this piece. It's for the Illustration Friday website.  Every Friday they post a theme that you can do an Illustration based on. This weeks theme was "Memories".  

Friday night Bloggin'

Hey just updating the ole' blog before I head out to a Party at The Delancey.

Today was pretty good found some new websites for some great artists that I'll post soon. went rollerblading for the first time in years. had a good Krav Maga class and drew this little pic while waiting to start work. 

Simone Bianchi

Totally loving Italian artist Simone Bianchi right now. He's working on Astonishing X-men with Warren Ellis. Here's some pics I doodled yesterday at lunch.

New Post!

Hey where have I been all weekend? Fell off the wagon and didn't get to draw anything on Saturday. Ran around with Emily and saw The Clone Wars, not bad. Still Star Wars has lost some of it's magic for me in their attempt to be all things to all people. Here are some pics from Sunday, had a great day with Emily and Amy went to my Niece's Birthday party and took an early morning Level 2 class. 

My First Time!

I was asked to teach my first Krav Maga Level One class yesterday.  I had about 15 minutes to prepare and was very nervous. Chief Instructor Michael Blitz gave me some great feedback and was really pleased.  It's so different going from student to instructor I think it's like when they say Pro football is so much faster of a game that college football. 

I'm glad it went well and that I was able to come thru. My only motivation for becoming an instructor was to help the school.  Can't wait to do it again. 

Marionette Sketch

I did this one Wednesday. It kind of reminds me of a character called Marionette from The Micronauts series. 

Sketchbook

so I picked up a new sketchbook on wednesday The idea is to draw something every day even if it's doodles at lunchtime in the car. So here are the first few days samples of crap. enjoy.

New TraumaTeam666 Logo!

Hey here's the New TraumaTeam666 logo. that I came up with. Thanks to Josh Lowy for tech support on this one. I can barely spell it as it is. 

Sick Day

Hey all (three of you),

Felling a bit under the weather today so I stayed home from work. Finished inking the Powergirl sketch. take a look

YES!

Ok so yesterday I got an email saying I had passed my Phase A Krav Maga training. This means that I can start teaching Level one classes after I pass my Orange belt test next month. I'm super happy about this and celebrated by going to dinner with Emily and then over to class. Took what I believe to be an overhand right to my left eye which didn't hurt but gave me a bruise.  No biggie except now all day the fat filp-flopped masses will be asking "what happened to your eye?" 

Got a Birthday party tonight so no training...off to the gym now. 

Back to work.

Alright..went back to Krav Maga for a level 2 class this morning.  Did a bunch of stuff this morning like stopping at the comic store and grabbing a few books that I missed. Great new Nocturnals book by Dan Brereton, Glamourpuss by Dave Sim and The Goon by Eric Powell. 

Grabbed a copy of JSA Annual #1 by Jerry Ordway. He's got a great Bronze age drawing style that I've enjoyed since All-Star Squadron. Here's my take on PowerGirl. 

Looking forward to the Baltimore Comic Con in Sept. It's the day before my Krav level 2 test. 

Not looking forward to work tomorrow. 

Tropic Thunder!

It's my recovery day after my Krav Maga Phase A training this past week. A bit sore so I skipped the gym and went to see Tropic Thunder. Wow what a fun movie. Tons of people will be offended it was like Blazzing Saddles set in Vietnam. Robert Downey Jr. was great and Ben Stiller's writing was way beyond his last few films. Stopped at Pearl for some supplies which prompted creating this blog. Will post a drawing tonight.
