So you get a finished product on the upper-left. I had to do the coloring at least 6 different times because I'm learning, kept screwing up, and once deleted half a day's work. ANNNND on the bottom-right is what I've decided to go with. Totally different direction. I wasn't happy with it not looking flat, I know, right? You'd think I'd have thought of that before putting 10hrs into practicing shading, coloring, and gradients.

There are still 4 more in the series and my checklist for tomorrow is to draw the final image, ink two more, scan and color.

I always love to hear your thoughts, so let me know what you think ;D

Starting to play with color for my PacMan series, more to come [and this piece finished, b/c cherries are red, i know, it's not finished ;D]

I'm always very interested in native people's portriates. The old time feel, their expressions, the accessories of their clothes. This is a 30min sketch done all in 0.05 micron pen.

Blinky Power Hungry

#2 in my Pac Man Series. Not sure if #1 is even up here yet, but heres Blinky. Fast, powerful, and a total dick.

Had a great conversation about art, religion, literature, philosophy, life, and everything last night. It's good to have all encompassing discussions with people. Reminds me how much of a hoarder I am when afterwords I say to myself, damnit if I shouldn't have recorded that conversation. Maybe the NSA will give me the tapes next decade, if I put in a freedom of information act request. Anyway, thank you so much to Hanika for the philosophy, I'll say that I'd like to read Levinas in an attempt to further reconcile my world view. But I doubt I will. Although I appreciate the new insight.

I've amassed a huge collection of pictures of what are called "suicide animals". In Asia they're very popular as logos and on restaurant billboards. They're around in the west as well, but I was very struck by how much you see them in Korea. You always know what's being sold by whatever animal is holding the plate of food. Morbid to say the least. I'd always imagine that it was actually parts of that specific animal that it was serving to you, happily, joyously offering itself.
