Family Photos

So we finally had some family photos professionally done.  We went with Chris Burke, who works out at the power plant and does photography on the side.  All I can say after seeing a sneak peek of his results with us is this: Quit your day job dude; you're good enough to make a living with this!

Okay, maybe Chris shouldn't quit his day job just yet, but if he is looking for an exit plan, then I think he's found a very viable one.  We were extremely pleased with the few shots we've been able to see so far and can hardly wait to see all the photos we have to choose from.  Here's one of the family photos he has posted at his blog.  Cruise on over using the link above and check out the rest of his work.

There's a few more pictures of us over there.  Some awesome shots of the boys.  (And I'll give you one guess as to what Caleb has in the jar he's holding up.)

The pictures were taken over at Brewton Parker College, which is nearby.  We were at the historic village which is nestled in the woods behind the campus.  You would never know it was there (and we didn't) unless you are poking around looking for a good place to take pictures (which we were).  Anyway, very very pleased with what we have seen so far.

Peace.

PAGE FIVE

       

Update - fixed the various editorial problems.  Now, let the action commence!

Page Four

I'm putting this up while still incomplete.  (No shading yet.)  I've been busy this week, end of soccer season, cub scout meeting, church; thus the dearth of posts.  Maybe it'll get better once night shift is over too.


About the comic: I was surprised at how much work goes into even a simple attempt.  I now understand why you need a team to get these things out in a timely manner.  (It probably helps too if that's your chosen profession and you have the luxury of it being your only one.)  Anyway, I'm beginning to see the artwork evolve a little, and I think it's finding its style.  So far I like it, but I'm anxious to get to page five and beyond, when the conflict begins (villains!).

I've written out the plot for the whole first issue; it's just a matter of getting it drawn, etc.  Page five is inked, so maybe I can get it colored soon.

Peace.

For all the dieters out there

I really have nothing to add, the video says it all. Enjoy.

(especially you, Wunderkraut)

Page Three

Not very much text yet.  The first four or five pages are heavy on action, but slim on dialogue.  I expect that to change when the villains start showing up.  Right now I'm really just learning how to create the artwork.

Peace.

Cheap!

So Arby's is advertising bobble-head super heroes with their kid's meals.  Whatever.  You get this cardboard piece of crap that you have to assemble.  Make sure you reinforce the fold in tabs with scotch tape or they just fall apart.  We went tonight and got the Martian Manhunter bobble-head.  I spent about thirty minutes putting two of them together.  They will be waiting for the boys at the breakfast table in the morning and will likely be tore up before breakfast is over.

Why is it that every way I turn, it seems that the world is just getting cheaper and cheaper?

 Behold, the Just-a-piece-a-crap League.

I'm going to bed now.
