I'm delighted that this past holiday was one of the better ones in recent memory getting to see all of my family happy and moving toward better times. The Christmas / New Years rush is one of the craziest times of the year and we're all still recovering from it this week even with the fevered atmosphere about us leading these American lives. I'm blessed to have your audience and blessed to have my friends and family. Most importantly, I'm thankful for people who know and understand the teetering insanity driving the pulsating urge to create- the lighting in the bottle in my brain. My family followed through in style in feeding the beast. First, my Sister and Bro-in-Lawz got me a gift card to Snobby Lobby which will come in handy very soon I'm certain.
My wife also got me art in another form with a few graphic novels I wanted included an awesome Elseworlds Superman... the Elseworlds DC series are a weakness of mine! In these books, alternate realities and time periods are created to show what these superheros would be like in another time and space.
Every year I take a portion of my Christmas Bonus from my top secret day job as a Marketing Manager and I spend it re-upping my marker supply. Here's what I got in the mail today from Cheap Joe's... they don't call him Cheap for nuttin'- you can't beat $1.99 Prismacolors with a stick... or a MUNNY Axe for that matter. I even snagged a few NEW colors I've never had before!
Another neato parting holiday fact: The Incredible Hulk painting I posted from New Year's Day is on a canvas my father got me for Christmas this year! Click HERE to see the painting!
Have a prosperous 2012 dear viewer- I hope you find the encouragement you need to see your own dreams through. I wouldn't be creating without the belief of those around me.
My wife Aurora got me this awesome mini MUNNY! I get to paint him sometime this year when things calm down a bit. Each one of these dudes from kidrobot comes with a MUNNY shaped sticker to color and a MYSTERY Item- mine is an AXE! I'll post some process pictures later on when I get to him. |
