Birthday Card for a friend

Done for a fellow drawingboard.org member for a holiday art swap. He looks relatively simple, but you cannot believe how I struggled with this one then in the end it just came together. Weird how the art brain does that to me...a lot.

Procrasturbation:

that's what my friend calls it.

C'mon man, what's holding you up? Get to work already! There's awesomeness to do and here you are not getting it done. Carpe whatever, just do it!!!

No more excuses

You know what? It's freaking cold up here!

You know what's an awesome site?

THIS ONE!

Oh how my historian's heart flutters at the sigh of such wonderful comics

Kate Beaton, you rock!!

Well, in this part of the world it is a New Year!! Goodbye 2008 and hello 2009! I wish I had drawn a New Year's picture. Maybe I can still do that...

Well as for resolutions,I unashamedly make resolutions. Not because they are end goals but as journeys. But I still have some that are specific goals. Not that I am that good in getting them done the way I wish they'd turn out. It works for some and not for others. But here is a brief list and I know I'll come back to add more in a bit.

Here is a brief list:

Be more efficient (I have a strategy I want to make a habit)
Finish projects (specifically there are five)
Improve fitness (Again, I have a simple strategy and a jump rope)
Complete the Master's Project (ugh)
Begin the wedding planning after graduation (...need help)
Write letters/cards/etc and send them in the mail to various people
Do a better job of keeping in touch with people
Don't let the man win
Secret stuff

But the bottom line is that I have sets of tools that I haven't used (real and metaphorically). So I'm going to try to use them.
