Struggling

So. It has been a while (again). My focus has been on the webcomic. http://spacepestremoval.com Please go check it out. There is a banner that will lead you to the site at the top of this blog as well. I am wondering if I would be better off just posting new images in there along with the strip. I do want to encourage you to go to the site as it is where I am spending more and more time.

Sheech! Juggling all of these blogs and sites is starting to take it's toll. Not sure what to do. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Elephant Soldier Washing His Clothes

The past few months have been incredibly busy. The teaching gig is winding down, had a few shows, Ottawa Comicon is coming up...Could not get around to posting stuff. Well I am hoping to turn that around. Please feel free to leave a comment. 

Michonne’s Pet for Today’s Daily Sketch, February 21st, 2013. I really miss these guys. The Walking Dead is the only show where I worry about how many episodes are left. Every episode is bitter sweet…. we lose one every week. 

Here is today's Daily Sketch for Feb 20th, 2013. Apparently, I like to draw turtles and bunnies.

So… I have been sick for the past week or so. I don’t even know how many daily sketches that I’ve missed. Expect a sketch dump to atone in the near future of possibly today. 

I just did this one. Thought it was fun and post worthy. 

Sketch Dump

So I have been sick for the past few days. Which means that my Daily Sketch took a bit of a beating. Here is a mix of stuff I did in the past few days along with one or two older things. Here’s hoping the Daily Sketch is back on track.

Death from Above is today's theme for the Daily Sketch, Feb 9th 2013.

Two more sleeps before the Walking Dead is up and running again. Can't wait.

Daily Sketch, Feb 6th 2013.

This kid has some crazy powers and a chip on his shoulders.  Not a good mix.

Grrrrr! Daily Sketch Grrrrrr!

Here is the Daily Sketch for February 5th, 2013. Enjoy!!

So I spent this past weekend manning my booth at the Ottawa Geek Market section of the 2013 Game Summit in Gatineau, Quebec. It was an interesting event. Thousands of people gathering to play a great variety of games and challenges. These guys were hardcore gamers.

I met a lot of great people, heard lots of great stories and had a fun time sketching along with my daughter Sarah. Thanks for the help, Kiddo!  But with all of the prepping, packing and sitting at the booth-ing... well I didn't get to post images since Thursday.

So here is a series of images, commissions and doodles that I did throughout the event. There are way more than this. Will post more later.

Oooooh!!! Scary Daily Sketch.

I am gearing up for the Game Summit in Gatineau, near Ottawa this weekend. I am looking forward to it. But  with my mind focused on this event, I forgot to add my Daily Sketch yesterday. I drew a ton... But I did not post. That is the slippery slope that I am trying to avoid. So tonight, I am posting two drawings instead of one. Hope you like them. Some pencils and markers.

Let me know what you think.

JJ Abrams is set to direct the next Star Wars movie. Okay but...

Gloomy Kid in a Colourful World

Here is today's Daily Sketch. Messing with colour.

Just your typical mutant worm attack. Enjoy today's daily sketch.

City dwelling monster

City dwelling monster visits his little buddy in today's Daily Sketch.

Here is today's Daily Sketch. Silhouettes are AWESOME!!

Today’s Daily Sketch is a silhouette sketch. I LOVE doing these. I find that they tend to be story driven and are great at getting your imagination involved. That’s about it for today. See you all tomorrow with a new one.

Doodled Character Designs

I am feeling a little bit ill today. So my daily sketch is incomplete. SO... this is awkward... Instead, I am submitting this set of symmetrical character design doodles that I did with Sketchbook Pro.

A scifi Scene based off of a photo I saw of dusty, sunny back lit ranger on a horse. If you know the source photo, please let me know and I'll add the info here.

I like the part in a story where there is discovery that will launch an adventure. Whether it is the secret map in Goonies, a ring in LOTR or that book in Never Ending Story. It’s great to have your imagination fly with possibilities at the start of a journey. 

So this is what I did for today’s (hey it is the third one straight!) Daily Sketch. 

What do you think?

Singing Bird

What? Two posts in two days?? Let's see how long I keep this up. :)

Here is tonight’s Daily Sketch. This is inspired by a photo I saw online. Please tell me the source if you know it…It is of a bird that seems to meet his fate like this one. I thought it would be funnier if it was a Disney-esque bird about to launch in song. 

I want to make an effort to post more stuff here. I am drawing all of the time yet can never take the few minutes to post anything. I have to work on that. Please feel free to comment/guilt me into posting more. :)

Here be robots

I haven't posted in forever. Here is a robot!

Fan Expo Wrap Up

Hello Everyone,
On August 23rd at 5AM, my family packed up our van and headed for Toronto. Part of the reason was for a short family vacation in the Big Smoke. The other reason was to attend the Fan Expo as an exhibitor in Artist Alley.  
We got there okay and I set up my booth. I got to spend a day with each of my three daughters as we manned the booth and try to get some sales. 

I am happy to announce that we made enough to cover the table, the hotel, the trip, the food and the ridiculous amount of prints that I made for the event... plus... I got to buy and trade for lots of goodies.
I finally got to meet Bobbi Chiu and Marco Bucci http://www.marcobucci.com/ in person. That was fun. I got a few Bucci prints that will be in our office at the college shortly. 

I also met Esad Ribic. His original artwork was incredible. I only wish that I could have afforded an original piece. There were no prints. :( 

I also got a chance to meet and talk to Tony Moore https://www.facebook.com/tonymooreillustration , the comic book artist behind the Walking Dead. I got to give him a copy of my book, the Art of Richtoon and my Rick Grimes Print. He gave my daughter Catherine a cool zombie patch. I was hoping to get a Zombie Jaws poster that was excellent. But they were sold out by the time I git there. I did pick up the Michonne poster though. Very happy about that one.
I also met a fantastic artist by the name of Mike Boldt . I really enjoy his prints. I picked up four plus his sketchbook. You can see his work here:  http://www.boldtmanstudios.com/ 

Probably the highlight of the night for me was when I was tidying up the booth on Sunday and I heard. "I really like your stuff, man. It's really good" I turned around to thank the gentleman only to find out it was Aaron Douglas. He is a great actor, mostly known for his work on Battlestar Galactica.  I was in shock!  I told him how much I liked his character in the show and he said that he was in Toronto shooting Hemlock Grove. I offered him one of my books. And I was on cloud nine for about two hours after that. Here is a picture!! Woo-hoo!! 

Aaron even took the time to tweet and email me about the book. What a class act!

I have renewed the table for next August!

I will have to make other posts of all of the stuff I got and the pictures we took.

Later
