<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c5kyOaa10Lk/U3PdF3x5a9I/AAAAAAAAET8/ZO8gksVCIf4/s1600/tumblr_n5jvimzvRj1s3yh8ho1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c5kyOaa10Lk/U3PdF3x5a9I/AAAAAAAAET8/ZO8gksVCIf4/s1600/tumblr_n5jvimzvRj1s3yh8ho1_500.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I have been spending a lot of time
lately trying to balance being creative and being a business person,
or should I say learning to be a business person.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
These 2 things, at a first glance, just
don’t seem to go together well, being a artist and being a business
person. I think its cause there has been a huge disconnect create in
our society that says if you are an artist you have to be a starving
artist and if you make money doing art then you aren’t really a
artist cause your work is commercial.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But, when I look back on even some of
the great fine artists of the day like Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollack,
Leonardo De Vinci, or Michelangelo, I recognize they must have been
doing something pretty big to get there work seen by the public.
After all the 16 chapel was a co</div>
mmissioned by the Pope. Doesn’t
that make Michealangelo a artist for hire (a commercial artist) so to
speak.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It also makes him a business man.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In some of my research I have been
finding that being a good artist is only 20 – 30% of what it takes
to be a successful artist. The other half is Hype! </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Marketing and
getting your work in front of the eyes of the many individuals out in
the world that might actually like what you do. It takes a great deal
of time and effort because you aren’t just selling your art you are
selling yourself.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I always felt like even when I do a
caricature I am giving a little piece of myself away to the world.
Some people appreciate it and some people don't, but I always want to
give whoever I draw for my best. Even when it seems to take me
forever to complete.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In the end creating content is
important, but sharing the content is even more important, and making
a living from your content is the most important. To me being a
starving artist is not noble, it's just an excuse to not work hard for
yourself. People that don't see the value in what we do or that want
us to sell ourselves cheap lack respect and understanding of how art
truly effect our society. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So you have to step up to the plate, set the value for your work you feel you deserve and push you work out into the market place. In other words learn how to control your business life and create opportunities that will allow you to be a thriving artist.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Its ok to be a hobbyist, as well, but
if you are trying to make a living as an artist you have to learn a
lot more than just how to draw pretty pictures. It has been a long
road and a difficult lesson to learn but a valuable one non the less.</div>

Sometimes I wish instead of going to college I worked right out of highschool and saved more and researched more. Of course not all the same tools and resources were available 15 years ago. But then again, why cry over spilled milk.<br />
<br />
I always felt like I had an idea of what I wanted in life, but now that i am older I feel like I really know. Like all those years I was wandering in the desert trying to figure it out.<br />
<br />
I have friends that are my age that have been to college and gotten the jobs and so on so forth american dream stuff and yet they are still trying to figure out what they want out of this crazy existance.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day its most important to live and be yourself. Figure out what is right for yourself and ignore the things people try to tell you is right for you because in the end no one really knows anything at all. Most importantly, no one can tell you who you should be, especially when they cant even figure out there own issues. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I am going to post this here as a resource. its mostly for me but I figure if it can benifit anyone else they are welcome to it.<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0wk_-QpVAyY/U0YpNsAdWuI/AAAAAAAAENk/WSDReXmWcwg/s1600/spacegirlamaka1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0wk_-QpVAyY/U0YpNsAdWuI/AAAAAAAAENk/WSDReXmWcwg/s1600/spacegirlamaka1.jpg" height="400" width="255" /></a></div>
Its funny, the mast 2 months have been
a BIG learning experience. I have been working hard to start valuing
my work more and be more confident about it, but sometimes it just
seems like an uphill battle.
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I few people at my job have this
saying, “How do you get an artist to work for free? Tell them you
like their art.” I think it speaks to how sometimes artists can
undervalue there contribution to the world.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gLkP90lkWiU/U0YrKSTtJqI/AAAAAAAAEN4/ei1boIuXlXA/s1600/10003456_10100300482448385_822175122_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gLkP90lkWiU/U0YrKSTtJqI/AAAAAAAAEN4/ei1boIuXlXA/s1600/10003456_10100300482448385_822175122_n.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a>I even had to laugh to myself a bit
because I know I am guilty of it. Often feeling like what I do is not
important or means nothing to anyone else. Reminds me how my
roommate told me her mom got surprised when she realized that she was
actually making money from her crazy ideas and artwork. Do we
undervalue ourselves cause we have been told what we do means nothing
by some person in our past or family member?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I got really excited last month when
I went to Planet Comic Con. (I will share some of the pics from that
show below.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It was so fun drawing for people and
seeing friends I had not seen since last year, since I live in LA
now, and just catching up and chatting with people. But one person in
particular really made my day. A guy stopped by my table and asked if
I had new Tornado Alley Comics. He was disappointed when I said no.
Truth be told I never thought anyone really cared that much except
for a few select people.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When people ask for my original
creations I always get amazed. I have started to ask myself where
does this come from. Why am I like this and does it really make any
since at all? You know Spiderman was once someones original idea
that no one else had ever heard of.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NPu4D44UKQk/U0YrP2XRlZI/AAAAAAAAEPc/cBfFa_PEHdc/s1600/1979850_10151903362641991_1655276558_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NPu4D44UKQk/U0YrP2XRlZI/AAAAAAAAEPc/cBfFa_PEHdc/s1600/1979850_10151903362641991_1655276558_n.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a>Ever since I created Big Booty Jane I
have had nothing but encouragement. Its been such a wonderful
experience knowing that I can create something and other people can
enjoy it. Its part of why I do caricatures as well. I love handing
that drawing over to the person and seeing there face light up. Its
one of the few ways I feel like I can brighten someones day.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In a way its like you are giving a
little of yourself to the other person. For me when they respond in
a positive why its a sigh of relief. I feel like I am contributing to
this big crazy world and others are enjoying it.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I don’t focus or draw my own
character nearly enough. Doing it makes me feel such enjoyment. And
knowing it much touch someone else is a even greater enjoyment.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So thank you to everyone out there that
has been checking out my work all these years and showing support. It
means a lot to me and I hope I am able to brighten your day every
once in a while. That has true value.</div>

ITS HERE GUYS!!<br />
<br />
<span class="fsl">Smut Peddler is the world's sexiest anthology of woman-centric comic book smut. Pre-order the 2014 edition here!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
Many, many years ago, in the late Jurassic (or maybe it was 2003), a
black-and-white, anthology minicomic called Smut Peddler was released by
Saucy Goose Press. It contained "sex-positive, female-friendl<span class="text_exposed_show">y
erotic comics from the best and the brightest in the independent small
press publishing world," and participants included Carla Speed McNeil
(Finder), Layla Lawlor (Raven's Children), Sean Bieri (Jape), and Tom
Beland (True Story, Swear to God). It was a fantastic series of comics,
with three issues published before its extended hiatus. <br /> <br /> In
2012, the title was pulled outta the mothballs by Iron Circus Comics
(AKA me, Spike, alone in a room), but in the format of a square-bound,
standard-sized, black-and-white book. This upgrade contained over 350
PAGES of ladycentric dirty comics, and it hit Kickstarter like a ton of
bricks, earning over $80,000! Smut Peddler 2012 went on to win the
Stumptown Comic Arts Award for Best Anthology of 2013, and become ICC's
best-selling book of all time. And now, Smut Peddler is back with more,
better than ever. <br /> <br /> It's time to fund the printing of Smut Peddler's 2014 edition. So WHO WANTS SECONDS?</span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Its a new year. So far its starting out
ok. I am nervous cause there are so many things I want to do. I want
to travel, do daily sketches, push for a new job, and get my
confidence up. Tired of having regrets about everything I wish I did
differently in life when it comes to family and friends and career.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Sometimes it feels like I just don’t
know whats right or wrong. Whats the difference between getting taken
advantage of and doing something for someone because you care and
want to see the best for that persons future. Either way they benefit
right?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I have met people last year that are
good people with bad habits and poor ways of thinking about life.
Negative people and positive people. Motivated people and unmotivated
people just going through the motions.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I have a tendency to be really hard on
myself. I think its cause I was just raised that way. Everything
always had to be perfect or done a certain way and you couldn't
deviate from that cause if you did you were a bad person. Then I move
to LA and every aspect of that is challenged. How do you know a good
person from a bad person? How do you classify someone as good or bad
other than the classic definitions in the bible or what your parents
told you as a child? The world is this big confusing ball of dirt to
me these days. All I can thing to do is just be myself and live the
best way I know how.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Should a person not speak their mind
when they feel hurt for fear of hurting the other party and
destroying a relationship? Or maybe they should risk it and say what
they gotta say and hope the person wont hate them forever.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What does it really mean to live a good
life? Being a wife having your own family, or having a amazing career
and money? Chasing your dreams and doing all the things you always
wanted to do, is that important? Or is it more important to stand by
family and friends in hard times even if they are not caring or
concerned about your needs as a human being living in this crazy
world?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Should a person be transparent to the
world about who they are or should they share it with the world no
matter how explicit or no matter the criticism? Maybe not, maybe its better to
stay hidden. Read a quote today that I liked from Zora Neal Husrton,
“If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you
enjoyed it.” Its interesting, I related to it.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
At what point is self preservation
selfish fulfillment of personal desires no matter how it effects
others around you? At what point does loving yourself, taking care
of yourself, and protecting yourself, become nothing but a
impractical display of egotism and arrogance intended to display your
elevation above others.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
They say its a thin line between love
and hate. To me Love and hate are so black and white and we live in
this very gray world.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The world confuses me. Might as well
just stop thinking about it and just go make stuff. Back to
drawing. Enough of the nonsense.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Big Booty Jane Forever!</div>

I think i might have mentioned this before. I decided to do a pin up calendar but I wanted to have it feature a fun plus size character and have it be different from what I usually see in pin ups. I just hope it accomplishes that.<br />
<br />
I have laid out a lot of pages, but I am going to put project on hold for a little while while I work completing the first story of Big Booty Jane, Galactic Space Cop.<br />
<br />
I always liked sci fi and I wanted to do something that would also make me laugh and in a way make fun if sci fi so I put together this story!<br />
<br />
The first story is going to debut in <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/the-smut-peddler-pre-order-project" target="_blank">Smut Peddler</a> so I cant share to much with you guys. Oh and by the way, its a erotic comic. Will be drawing lots of naked people. LOL!<br />
<br />
I stopped doing nudity for a long time in my work. But I realize its not that I don't like drawing that sort of thing, I just don't really like drawing it for other peoples requests and commissions. I would rather do fun playful stuff that I find appealing and personally enjoyable. If other people enjoy it as well then cool. If not then they don't have to look at it.<br />
<br />
I guess it all comes down to self expression. <br />
<br />
I already get the occasional on looker that thinks something is wrong with my drawing pin ups. I don't know how many times I have heard other say I draw women as if I am a man. I had a older women at a comic convention scold me for drawing pin ups and then buy one of the drawings I did of storm lol!<br />
<br />
At the end of it you cant make everyone happy. So you draw what makes you happy instead. Be yourself and be creative! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I spent a lot of years fighting to be what I thought other
people wanted and finding I was never satisfying enough for the individual I
was trying to please (especially when it comes to family.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pleasing people has been a bad habit a long
time and I am looking to change it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reason why is cause people often project their own
personal experiences, both good and bad, onto you and then expect you to handle
situations the way they would have handled it. But then, there is no guarantee
they would have handled it correctly themselves. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think one of the most important things a person can do for
their careers is finding the right environment with the right like minded people
where everyone is giving each other room to be themselves. That is when
innovation and creativity really begin to take off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trying to convince someone, that knows nothing about what it
is you love to do, that you are doing the right thing when they think it is
wrong, is like trying to fit an elephant into a small glass bottle. People who
are not artists or business owners always want to tell the artist or business
owner to get a real job and do what they love on the side. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meanwhile, you got all these people out there
that are running their business on a full time basis, successfully. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So you mean I should quit doing what I am doing and go work
for someone that is already doing what I am trying to do for myself. Yeah I
would call that bad advice. It’s hard though. Especially when the bad advice
comes from family, that have certain expectations of you to perform a certain
manner. Usually that means doing what they did growing up to get where they are
now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately not everyone is meant to be a follower in this
world. Some of us have to be leaders too!</div>

is that not only is it way to expensive, but you got all these individuals

I heard of people going to school graduating and then

students coming in how they think they should be drawing or painting and then
failing them if they don’t do what the teacher expects.</div>

The funny thing about animation is it’s not just about
entertainment. Animation is an art form, as well. You are an artist first and
animation is only an expression of that. After all it’s the next stage of
progression in creativity. We love seeing our imagination bloom to life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am coming to find there are a lot less
rules and regulations than I thought there were.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your lines don’t have to be perfect all the

Side note: I am not discouraging getting an education. just saying be careful how you let it effect you.Make sure you always think for yourself and avoid letting others make decisions for you. ( times out of 10 what is right for you is going to be wrong for someone else and vise versa.</div>

For a long time as an artist I have to admit I didn't understand the value of what i do. That it could effect people or be important to others. Especially when it comes to fan art.<br />
<br />
I figure its not my characters its no big deal, but there are some people out here that see dollar signs when they see your abilities and those individuals will do what ever they possibly can to get in your favor if it means they can get a little peace of what you do and they can use it for themselves.<br />
<br />
We live in a world where we are told to be good, and how to act, and how to not hurt others, and to love others as they love us and treat them how we want to be treated. But underlying those old sayings there is a pit of snakes waiting to grab hold of the next over excited artist looking to "get exposure" or that is just excited that someone liked there stuff, so much so, that they are willing to give it away.<br />
<br />
I heard a saying the other day at work. it goes like this. " How do you get an artist to work for free? Tell them how great there art is."<br />
<br />
Since moving to LA I see it more now than I ever did. a cesspool of disgusting people waiting to find there next sucker so they can walk all over them and make them do what they want all while making the person being victimized feel bad about not liking how they are being treated.<br />
<br />
Artist if you don't value what you do I have news for you. There's someone out there waiting for the chance to take the things you don't feel like are important and turn it into profit for themselves. They are waiting for the chance to take that sketch you through in the trash heap cause you didn't like it and flip it for there own benefit. They might even claim to be you just so they can get some attention for themselves.<br />
<br />
Protect yourself at all costs. You deserve better than being used and abused for someone selfish greed.<br />

I was watching bugs bunny cartoons the other day! I love the
old Bob Clampet stuff!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So much fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I realized is that there is no
perfection in the animation. There are all kinds of weird things going on and
being done just to get a laugh out of the viewer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like one second a horse might have hooves and the next he
has hands!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They really played! The artists just had fun and were
creative. They were themselves! Sometimes the cartoons barely even had a story.
Characters would commit suicide and then sit up and address the viewer. One
scene bugs bunny gives a dog a gun and encourages him to kill himself! WHAT!
Insanity!</div>

Reminds me how much I just love cartoons. </div>

My mom told me this story once about how when I was a kid,
she asked my uncle to baby sit for her. So he did! Little did he know that this
3 year old was an insane cartoon maniac!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was so mad at her because she dropped me off and I told him I wanted
to watch cartoons, but there were no cartoons on tv. So I screamed and cried
the entire time he was babysitting me because I wanted to watch cartoons! He
was so mad when my mom returned that he told her he would never babysit me ever
again!</div>

HAHA! Sometimes I guess you are just born with it.<br />

I am working on my confidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s hard when you’ve been down a long time,
to find ways to pick yourself up. But, I believe it’s possible. I think I
realized that most people are a work in progress when it comes to confidence. It’s
all about learning to like who and what you are. Every individual I meet is at
their own level and trying to rise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I use to get self-conscience if a person would say, “hey I
like that drawing,” cause I felt like just saying thank you was like being
egotistical. Then one day I realized its actually common courtesy to thank
someone for a compliment.</div>

I also spent a lot of years trying to encourage other people
and giving advice to make them feel better about themselves and their work
while trying to fade into the background to let the other person shine. Why,
because I didn’t feel I deserved to shine, or like I was good enough to shine
like everyone else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately this
post isn’t just about art. It’s also about living in general. It’s just a bad
attitude that has invaded my art career and started to reflect itself on the
decision I have been making. Not in a good way.</div>

Like for example, getting a job interview at that dream job
and then having to go in and sell yourself and talk yourself up to the employer

employer you are awesome when you actually don’t consider yourself to be
awesome! </div>

Just showing a great portfolio isn’t enough. A lot of people

Shinji runs into the room and Asuka is sitting at a table

himself.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">My new years resolution. Learn to love
myself and treat myself well. The same as I do for others. I quote from the
bible. </span></h1>
<h3>
Romans 13:9</h3>
<div class="txt-sm">
New International Version (NIV)</div>
<span class="text"><sup>9 </sup>The commandments, “You shall not commit
adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not
covet,”<sup>[<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+13:9&version=NIV#fen-NIV-28276a" title="See footnote a">a</a>]</sup> and whatever other command there may be,
are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text">I think this is a double ended statement now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have started to see something else in it.
How can you treat others like you want to be treated and you love others like
you want to be loved when you can’t even love being you. Is loving yourself the
beginning of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>having confidence? I think so.
I also think it is the key to knowing how to love others. Other people, and how
they treat us, is a reflection of how we treat ourselves isn’t it? </span>Draw Like Crazyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16120042065870937140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748142151004088483.post-79370990733936667002013-02-07T14:35:00.000-06:002013-02-07T14:35:00.399-06:00Universal Stories: Everyday I'm Hustlin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

No seriously! Everyday I am expected to get out there and get my hustle on! One of the requirements of a caricature artists especially in the slow season is to try and bring in new customers as best as we can. This last week we started a $5 off sale on the black and whites and what ends up happening is we get more customers wanting to take advantage of the sale.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I generally like to practice to draw attention when things are slow. here is a recent one I did.<br />

So she bought it just as I was finishing it! Oh Yeah!<br />
<br />
Anyway, did this pic of Rihanna. she is wearing sun glasses so it makes her seem like she could be anyone. I need to get a better picture.Draw Like Crazyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16120042065870937140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748142151004088483.post-62632633061335560332013-02-06T14:29:00.000-06:002013-02-06T14:29:00.257-06:00Out and about in LA: LOL Me Singing!Last few weeks been doing some drink and draws after work with friends from work out in city walk.

I have all these Bettie age sketch cards that I need to get drawn on so I decided to do just that. here is a little sampling of that. I plan to put these up on ebay so if you are interested in getting one you can head over and bid or you can just message me and I will sell you one!<br />

I feel like there is so much I want to do and so little time to do it in. In April the Planet comic convention is coming up in Kansas City and I want to make sure I can be there. Gives me a little time to prepare but then there are a lot of things I want to do at the same time.<br />
<br />
Art shows, cover letters, job apps, new personal art, etc, just to name a few things. I feel a little anxiety about it all to tell the truth. I am just trying to figure out how to bring it all together.Ii figure its all about taking a step at a time.<br />
<br />
I believe the first step is just getting a plan together to get new artwork and prints done for the show. maybe spend an hour per day on the job search, as well. I think it is all in planning and then doing. Gotta stay focused. Lets DO THIS!!<br />
<br />
Was working on this fantastic 4 comic cover . through a little airbrush on it to experiment. its not done yet.<br />
