Where were you when you rang in the new year? I was venturing through the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Denver with my dear wife and a small cluster of friends in search of the perfect party. I do believe we found not one, not two but three… complete with cans of cool Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and scores of people dancing to hip-hop like there was no tomorrow. (In one particular house I was mildly concerned about the structural integrity of the floor but it held out long enough to ring in the new decade) Now don’t go bashing PBR friends! I know it’s a cheap beer that peaked in popularity well before I was born. That is precisely why I enjoy drinking it from time to time… and when it’s free… well you’d have to be crazy to turn away free beer.

Anyhow, I do apologize for not having any updates to share over the last few months. Truth be told I would have loved to post in my blog here but time wouldn’t allow for it. With the coming of 2010 I will put forth an effort to post more often even if the updates are short and sweet. I appreciate each and every one of you taking the time to visit my site and the last thing I want to do is neglect you for it. Please allow me a moment to fill you in on what you’ve missed since last October.

2009 Wrap-Up

  • I snagged a killer illustration job from Bob Hazlett over at One Half Amazing. You see, Bob had this genius idea to take his existing resume and transform it into a comic book and after I showed him just how BAM! POW! SHAZZAM! awesome I was he was sold! Have a look at the finished product.
  • In addition to using the artwork I created to make a comic book style resume Bob also went the extra mile to create his own iPhone App (also featuring my illustrations). I don’t know about the rest of you but I think this is totally rad. Check it out! (Note: You’ll need iTunes installed to open this link)
  • In late November I started a new full-time job as a Web Designer for a company out in Golden Colorado. Upon my arrival on my first day of work I found that my training manual for this position featured He-Man & The Masters of the Universe. Needless to say I was thoroughly amused!
  • In December I snagged a couple web design projects of my own and a couple of illustrations to boot! Things are going to get fairly busy around here very soon!
  • Last but not least I finally decided on a writer for my upcoming webcomic. MissDoomCookie and I will be working diligently over the next four months in hopes of having our creative collaboration ready for the public by April 1st 2010! .

That said I’ll close this long overdue post with an image of one of the characters I recently designed for the project. This is merely a first draft and subject to change but here he is nonetheless.
