Rest In Peace

Doesn't this look like a sonogram?

Sorry, I just happened to notice that as I was downloading it onto this blog. What it is, of course, is my take on the late, great Michael Jackson. Did you know he died? Yeah, no joke. Anyway, I was thinking about it and I figured that any artist, worth his salt, would do a take on MJ in one form or another. Here is my take on the brother. Hope you like.

I wasn't going to post this her, but Deb, from Facebook, asked me why it was I had not done any post here in a while. Well, the answer is that I was kind of waiting until my classes started in the Fall to do some new post. Plus, I didn't think anyone was actually keeping track. But now that I know that more than two people are dropping in and taking a look, I see the error of my way.

No doubt that I will get a lecture from my boy, Mark D., but I know it is out of love so I will wait, read and take it to hear.

Oh, real quick, before I go, let me tell you a little something, something about the picture. Drawing is done on Sketch board. Sketch board is a board covered and black that you are suppose to use a tool to sketch away the negative space and find the image. This picture would have come out looking way cooler than it did, but I could not find my tool so I had to make do with a nib.

Learning Rocks!

It come to the decision to take a class at one of the community colleges, in Adobe Illustrator, for this upcoming Fall semester. I am hoping not only to learn how to use my Mac to aid color to my illustrations, but I think it will also offer me the structure and motivation to actually finish the book. I hate how much of a procrastinator I am. I also hate how I over analize and critique my work. Anyway, wish me luck. I will go register, if God says the same, this upcoming Tuesday and classes begins in August.

Wish me luck.
