The Mechanic
I’ve been wrenching on my site (idrawdigital) for a little while now. I’ve been finding that the traffic has been relatively steady, but people seem to check it out, say “hmm that’s pretty cool.’ and then take off, never to return.
I need to change that. I can make all the tutorials and how to guides I want, but if there’s nothing compelling to keep people...
Wrote until my fingers bled
… or is that typed until they bled? Either way, I’ve been putting some notes together for that book I want to put out this month, featuring some of my tutorials from idrawdigital. Basically I’m giving it away for free, to see how many people are actually interested in what I’ve had to say.
I’ve realized that I’ve been at this blogging thing for over a year....
...and more junk
So this was supposed to be a continuation of my junk dump, but since my scanner doesn’t seem to want to comply with Windows 7, I’m only able to post up some leftovers.
Another ambitious project - the Trojan War. Didn’t make it much further than 6 pages. This was one of the few I salvaged.

Check it out…
I love this series of panels - I had started TDH as a widescreen format, but kept tinkering with it until I found a layout I liked. These two panels were the only ones that made the cut.
I tend to pencil out and thumbnail a lot of my work, make notes and...
It's slowly getting there...
I’ve been plugging away at some pencils here (really rough) for The Devil’s Hand. The initial drawings I was unhappy with have been reworked and I’ve decided that since this is going to be delivered as a webcomic, I’m going to make it one big long freakin scrolling comic. I saw the idea used over at What Things Do, so I’m going to adopt it.
I’m enjoying the...
I've been working
I can’t believe how busy its been since the holidays.
My wife was in a wedding party, and I was sort of on call to help out with a number of things, meaning last minute hands-on type stuff. I designed the wedding invites, and some other items for the winter wedding. Although I didn’t really draw the design myself, it was modified from a piece the couple liked online.
The wedding was...
