With a capital U
I’ve finally finished exams… with any luck, forever. This puts me in a much better position to write, and work on super-secret projects.
I’ve sold two ultra-short stories to Jordan and Camille’s new no-longer-super-secret project, Every Day Fiction. Starting in September, they’ll be publishing one new 1000 words or less story every day of the week. A good idea, I think. Attention spans are decreasing at an alarming rate, as idle web-browsing time at the office seems to grow with every passing year. Goldfish minded office employees need their quick stimulation, and the big boss men all across the country have started blocking Facebook and YouTube. Reading a new story every day will consume less traffic than email, so the the network guy should never catch on.
After my test yesterday, I went shopping for a Ukulele, but the music store only had those flimsy, Hawaiian tourist models with plastic strings, and I already have one of those. I want a real, honest-to-god instrument, dang it, not some gaudy confection of balsa wood and plastic. I will probably try Ukulele adventuring again on Monday. My need of a Ukulele specifically will be explained in the fullness of time.
Yes. I capitalize Ukulele. Like God.

Well this is a relief. I’ve been plugging away at this one on and off for the past couple months and its just about done i think. Any final suggestions or changes ill take into account here and call it a wrap. This is meant to be a companion piece for the Martini Player piece i did about a year and a half ago. Turned out much cleaner than it’s double, oh well. Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions.

It’s been Awhile
It’s been a bit busy lately. Got sent down to Lethbridge to help open a new m&m and with the 40 degree heat for a week and a half id just come back to the hotel and sleep right away. So long story short, I’m going to try and keep updates happening a bit more regularly.
Anyways, I’ve got a few things on my plate at the moment including that Wendigo comic, an environmental image or two, just a few more touchups on the ‘Champagne Woman’ and a whole slew of character sketches that are 1/2 done. For now all I’m able to show is the latest character sketch i finished rendering:
