Hello. Nothing special today. Just me babbling.
It's been nice relaxing the past couple of weeks. I have produced pieces, but it's nice to sit back and let ideas form. I made a promise to myself to put ALL ideas down, no matter how crazy or weird they are. They may not produce a finished piece, but at least they have life.
Thanks again for all of your support this year. It means the world to me to hear from you, and to know that even if I don't actually post a good piece, or a piece at all, you still visit.
I have a feeling deep in my heart that 2009 is going to be a great year, career-wise. I will continue to draw, study, learn, observe, etc., and let my ideas pour out. I will work my tail off to achieve my goals. There will be ups and downs, but knowing that I have a loving, supportive wife and fantastic families, those ups and downs will just be an inconvenience.
Thanks again, and see ya next year!

Ow! My shoulder!
Batting cage in Wisconsin Dells. I made the mistake of trying the "Really fast" pitch.
I have the tendency to let go of the bat with my right hand as I follow through, and that always leads to extreme pain as my left shoulder separates quickly from the socket and returns. Such joy!!
Note the sausage-like physique.

What up?
I've been consistent at being inconsistent. I have several ideas on paper, and have been trying to draw everyday. I just can't pull the trigger and finish something. I'm not really lacking confidence or ideas or anything. I think my brain may have froze from all the shoveling we've been doing...I promise to post more soon.
Thanks for your patience!

Busy, busy, busy...
It's been a very busy past couple of weeks. With the holidays and such, and being busy at work, I haven't really had a chance to just draw.
Thank you for your continued support through this slow art period.

Of course, I wish being busy meant working on commissioned pieces (actually, one was, so I am truly grateful for that). In time...

Wintery observation...
Dec 9, 2008
This blog is closed due to inclement weather...
We have a lovely snowstorm that started last night and will end today. Becky has a test that she HAS to attended today. Of all the days to have a major storm.
Oh, and for those who at some point may visit Wisconsin in the winter for some reason, always remember this formula:
Heavy snowstorm + low visibility + four wheel drive = drive super fast
I just don't get why people (idiots) insist on driving fast in the snow...

Tag, you're it!
I've been tagged by Josh "Musarter" to write 7 random facts about myself. Here it goes...
1. I am of Hispanic and Philippine decent.
So, that means I’m not the tallest person in the world, I have a large head, and am quite gassy. Not really sure if that has anything to do with my heritage (no offense to others like me), but it’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
2. I am a big geek at heart.
I’ve always been a geek. Not so much a nerd. I was never into D&D, or the sci-fi genre. I’m more into gadgets (iPods, cell phones, HDTV, etc.). I don’t know much about HTML, XML, or any of the other Internet acronyms. I just kind of skirt by when it comes to setting up my website. I sit in front of the computer, press all of the wrong keys, get upset, and Becky comes and rescues me.
Also, I have all of my old, and new, Transformers on display in our office. I was 10 when the Transformers toy and cartoon came out, and I’ve never lost my liking of them. Yes, I own the movie, and no, I don’t play with the toys….yet.
Plus, I like to think that I dress pretty well for a geek.
3. I have a very short attention span.
I always say that I have the attention span of a tadpole. And, truth be told, I believe that I have adult ADHD. For instance, while working on this very piece, I walked to the kitchen to get some water, and instantly started to wash the dishes. I never thought that I should finish what I started. In fact, I had forgotten that I was working on this.
One day I was cooking some eggs, and the thought of doing the laundry entered my mind, so I started to make my way downstairs as the eggs cooked. ADHD? I’m not sure, but I can’t concentrate if my life depended on it. Actually, that’s a lie. Babe, you can count on me!
4. I have never broken a bone in my body.
(currently knocking on wood)
5. I’ m an artist with bad astigmatism. Really bad.
I have worn glasses since kindergarten. I tried contacts from my senior year in high school to my sophomore year in college, but became tired of them. They were gas permeable, and they pretty much sucked. I finally brought myself to the 21st century, and got some modern glasses.
6. I holler at only 2 things in life.
Other drivers, and Wisconsin sports teams.
7. I married the bestest woman in the world.
‘Nough said.
Now you know a little bit about me. If you'll excuse me, I have to go start something, forget that I'm doing it, and start something new.
