Cintiq!

I'm in love. At work we just got a cintiq moniter. For those of you who don't know what that is (and I think that's most of you because it's all friends and family visiting here) I'll explain. It's a moniter that is touch sensitive to a stylus pen. Basically I can draw on my moniter. It can also tilt and rotate to give it the more of a feel of actually drawing on a piece of paper. Add to it that you get all the benifits of using a computer, drawing on different layers, changing colors witht hte touch of a button etc.. and it's just awesome. I am having so much fun with this thing. Right now we only have one at work and it's a trial basis only so I'm using it while I can, but I am praying that we buy a couple for the company becuase I just love it. These are just some sketches I've done on it for fun to get used to it. Enjoy.
p.s. If anyone out there has a few spare thousand dollars and wants to get me one I won't complain.

New Painting

Here's a painting that I recently finished. It's just a small 5x7 that I painted for my kids new bathroom. It's going to have a surfing hawaiin theme going for it. Not great but I'm trying to get into the groove of painting again. Enjoy.

Dino Mummy!

This was something that was in the news the other day. Apparently they have discovered a dinosaur that was mummified. The mummy was later fossilized but that still gives us an impression of what the scales on the dino looked like and the musculature and all of that jazz. I thought it was all so cool. However, wouldn't it be even cooler to find one of these?

Gorgon!

Here's a sketch from the ol sketchbook. Had a lot of fun with this one. It's kind of a medusa thing but intead of snake heads for hair, this unfortunate lass got the tails. I guess there was a coin toss of some sort and this gorgon lost. Enjoy.

Surf Dog IN SPACE!

Just a funny little drawing in my sketchbook. I've always really loved bubble hats and rocket jetpacks. I still wish scientists would get cracking on these sorts of things. I want a car like the jetsons had and take picnic trips to the moon. Am I the only one? Enjoy.
