Super Tango Fighter (issue 1)

This was a comic done with Hoyt as the hero, Super Tango Fighter!!  This was done almost 2 years ago as a present and I've been meaning to continue it.

SF zine fest

Who's up for SF zine fest!?? Sept 4-5 (weekend).

http://www.sfzinefest.com/about.html

What's at Zine Fest, you ask?  The DIY (Do-it-yourself) side of comics, arts and crafts, literary presses, and more (at least that's what I gathered from the website).  I haven't been before, but I expect it will be similar to APE (Alternative Press Expo), which was a lot of fun :)

If I don't have to work on Saturday, I'll go then, otherwise, Sunday.

cute little online sketch app

It has some fun brushes and cool effects.  It's fun to try out even if you don't have a tablet.

Some artist blogs for inspiration

Has a video on inking techniques and some really nice gesture drawings.

Love his character sketches.

Eu Care logo (in progress)

I've been meaning to get a finalized version of the Eu Care logo.  Instead of trying to work in vector format from the start, I'm going back to what I do better, which is building up an image in raster format and then I'll simplify it to a decent vector version.  It's still in progress, but I'm a lot happier with the colors and the general feel of it.

Hmmm... colors look a little off.  I may have to do some color correction later.

inspiration for plushies

I just added a new project under "sewing" and it's to make my own plushies.  Monster Factory has some cute, quirky and fun designs and totally great for inspiration.

soundtrack

Here's the soundtrack for the screenplay/storyboarding project I'm working on. This is only to establish the mood and the tone of the piece as I start to shape it together. Youtube is the only place so far that has had each of the esoteric pieces I've been looking for.
