I’m working on some game concepts for fantasy football.

According to European legend, in the middle ages the crops were being destroyed by aphids so the farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary to send help. The next thing you know, little red bugs with black spots show up, eat the aphids and save the crops. The farmers called them “Our Lady’s Beetles” …and then later simply called them “ladybugs”.

I’m happy to say these knuckleheads made it back into the story!

Bread taking a vacation in Toast-A-Rica… Cinderella wearing glass flippers… chickens getting hot wings while sunbathing on the beach… must be summertime…

I had a chance to play before mowing the yard so I painted this guy.

My wife had the Royal Wedding dialed up on TV Saturday morning, so I got to watch some of it. It seemed real nice.
The only REAL difference I could see in the Royal Wedding and a wedding that takes place in OUR family is that a wedding that takes place in OUR family usually involves some sort of card tournament and of course… winning the fabulous MILBURNSCHUTT CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY CUP!!

I’m presently doing the final edits on THE FEW issues 4, 5 and 6. Todd has gotten these characters into quite a mess. I hope they can find their way out of it!

Once again, it’s time for summer weddings… deja moo.

Another wall illustration I did for Living Stones Church in Crown Point, Indiana.


This is the wall illustration I did for the toddlers room at Living Stones Church in Crown Point, Indiana.



The folks at Living Stones Church are getting their new building ready for Easter Sunday, and the Nursery, Toddler and Preschool rooms will all have a bit of my artwork in them.
I traveled up to Crown Point, Indiana to meet them and they told me they wanted the pictures for these particular rooms to follow the creation story. I took some photos, took some wall measurements and headed back home. I fired up Photoshop, created files with the proper room dimensions, added a 5.5 and 6 foot guy for scale, scratched out some roughs, sent them in for approval and then proceeded to create the finished artwork.

I’m pretty excited to go back some Sunday and see these three classrooms full of kids!

I used to have a job crushing Coca-Cola cans. It was soda pressing.

The comic books I’m working on have really been eating up a lot of my work time. I’m currently working on issue six. I noticed that the pencil drawings for them are really starting to pile up, so I made a quick video to show how much artwork has gone into the first five issues.

I’ve just discovered something new! I typically like to start my drawings using an erasable blue pencil (a Prismacolor Col-Erase 20044 Blue) and then use a mechanical pencil (Pentel Twist-Erase) to finish the drawing. This process works fine, but I am constantly having to stop and hand sharpen the blue pencil. I have tried to find blue leads to use in my mechanical pencils, but they are all too brittle and not erasable at all.

Then I discovered PaperMate Erasable Color Leads. These are soft leads, fit my mechanical pencils perfectly and work like a charm… AND you can get them at your local WALMART!! …well, you can’t get them at MY local Walmart because I just bought every one they had last night… but you might want to give these a try sometime. I love em.

The image on the left is a panel rough I sent to Todd for his approval in order to move forward on THE FEW Comic Book Series. The image on the right is the finished art. I’m glad Todd trusts me ’cause my roughs look like a four year old did them.
