Bad, baaad (old) anatomy
Another *very* old sketch. I actually did quite a bit of work on several projects on the weekend, did some get sketches and crossed several things off my list. Alas I cannot show anything as of yet (I’m mysterious like that).
I have absolutely nothing new and completed to share. Oh, there are ‘things’ done, but as one can see, I like ‘series’ and I don’t like posting compositions without their friends (I have done that already, and I don’t like it).
So here’s something old. Olllllld. Past 2006, I think. A sketch of the Weeping Willow, a character from the beloved King’s Quest series (in this case, King’s Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder). I was revisiting this a little while ago, but now that’s on the back burner, so…here’s the ollllld one.
The Weeping Willow
So much going on right now – and most of it I can’t talk about even past completion. Bah!
5 Weeks After Surgery
So, ignoring the scars by my knuckles and those down on my arm, please witness the horizontal scar that lays across my right wrist – it is now just a reminder of all the pain, restrictions and, um, whining from the past few years (not to mention the past intense weeks). I think I am now at a turning point, able to do after-work activities and exercises (but of course I will still be ‘taking it easy). I was going to give a ‘thumbs up’ to my recovery but I still don’t think ‘they’ know whether the thumbs up was a good or bad indication in Rome, so a sideways thumb it is, in preparation for the ‘good’ call.
Clockwork 1
Been doing a lot of ‘deep’ thinking lately. Hopefully will be able to do some recreational drawing soon to ooze it all out.

Bite Me! as Performed by Potatoes
A good thing about having a recovering right wrist is I have a lot of reading (sigh, yes, and TV) time. One of the books/graphic novels I have been enjoying as of late is Bite Me! by Dylan Meconis. It’s a funny vampire tale of epic proportions and chickens and I just got my printed copy in the mail last week. You can read it online or buy the printed version; it has a very nice shiny cover, real pages and it gets rid of the complications that are involved in reading a webcomic. Instead of clicking a button, you turn a page! No need to worry about your Internet connection if you do it old school.
As for the image above…well…there was a contest for Bite Me! that I just had to enter. A friend introduced me to the comic long ago and I felt that spending a weekend dressed-up* with painted potatoes and eggs was the best way to show my respects for it…as can be seen here. I must add that later the potatoes were made into mashed garlic taters. (The scene is from this page by the way)
*is it really dressing up if the clothes are from your everyday wardrobe? sigh.
