Putin better not rear his ugly ol' head

There's something strangely redundant about a Sarah Palin caricature.

Working on a fairly big project right now--can't post more than this though.  Super top secret stuff.  This is some James Bond, Mission Impossible, Warrantless Wiretap, A Few Good Men-type business here, my friends.  See if you can guess!

I swear to god this fabled website of mine is real... on my computer, at least.  I'm (finally) more or less happy with the design, but I still think some new work is in order to round out the portfolios.

Which I will be hopping to forthwith, as it were.

Post titles are so 2008

Two more for Red Cygnet.  I've been tweaking the website (the as-yet nonexistent portfolio site, not this blog) lately to try to get the design nailed down, and I think I made a few breakthroughs yesterday.  I should probably just plug my nose and take the leap just to get the dang thing online already... all in due time.

It has come to my attention very recently (very recently) that sea lions are natural predators of penguins.  Hmmmmmmm.

The very best to everyone in 2009!  I think my resolution will be to gain about 20 pounds.

Finally got to see Wall-E last night, which was absolutely amazing.  The Presto short alone is probably worth the price of the DVD.

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!  I received a wonderful book collecting 300+ of Gustave Dore's illustrations of various pieces of literature, and have been boggling my mind repeatedly trying to comprehend how it's possible for a person to have such ability.  Thus far I have boggled it twice this morning and suspect I will do quite a bit more of said boggling before the week is through!

I won first place in the annual ACP cartooning awards' comic strip / panel category!

Some of you may recall that this is the contest I second'd last year (behind William Warren, who also won the Charles M. Schulz award that I was a runner-up for last year).  I feel like I'm getting some closure this time around!

Also, big congrats to SCAD's student newspaper, The District, and everyone who helped to earn it a National Newspaper Pacemaker Award this year!  Well deserved.

Tales to Shock, and to Astound, and to Excite, etc.

By now, hopefully you've noticed that I've overhauled the blog--it's been a long time coming and I've finally had the time to make some of the changes I'd been wanting.

Some of you will invariably add yourself to the ranks of friends who have made sure to note that I am not quite this buff.  Well, we all need something to aspire to!  Now go take a flying leap.

Here's an alternate version of the display text on the header.  Magenta is just BETTER.

I've been learning Dreamweaver and am preparing to jump into the deep end and finally get my official, "real" website finished.  Not positive exactly how I want things to look yet, but I've been scouring the internets for information and mentally swiping all sorts of cool stuff that other, more talented artists have been doing.  I'm excited!
