So what does this mean for my personal dA page? It should mean I'll have time to create personal paintings and comics again. Well, as soon as I get over this stupid cold. Ah-choo!
First sign this is happening: Lately, I've been able to sketch on my Nintendo DS Lite with Colors! during lunch breaks, instead of working straight through. My most recent Colors! sketch is called Rainy Day and it was drawn over two lunch breaks at work. A lot of people are telling me they really like this one, so I'll try to do a few more in this style.
Recently, I upgraded to Painter 11, and I'm using it right now to paint something for my wife for our fifth wedding anniversary, which is later this month. I'm not sure I'll post the painting here, but after it's done, I'll definitely use this program to create paintings for the gallery here. If you're interested what I think about Painter 11, let me know and I'll write a mini-review after I've spent a little more time with it.
Right now I'm listening to Robyn Hitchcock's new album Goodnight Oslo. I have to confess, I've never listened to Hitchcock's music before, but I picked up the CD after hearing a fun and thoughtful interview with him on NPR's Day to Day, a show which, sadly, just got cancelled, making my 1 hour Los Angeles commute a little more hellish. But I really like this album, so my commute just got a little better again.
I'm also cramming all 92 episodes of the original Mazinger Z series as 'research' for a future project. Wow! This is old school anime at its awesome finest. (I am not being sarcastic.)
Not sure I'll have time to draw a new Brudders this weekend, but we'll see how it goes.
Geez, it's gotten late. And--ah-choo!--I'm still sick. Time for bed.
Goodnight world.
