Hello New Year

Well here we are at the end of another year. It's funny, it feels like 2008 just started. Oh well.

No more fucking around.

Goals for this year:

1. Draw more
2. Paint more.
3. Put the comic out regularly.
4. Update the blog at least once a week.
5. Work on project X.
6. Get my shit out there.
7. Update ghastly1.com with new art.
8. Get back into participating in Illustration Friday.
9. Draw more.
10. Paint More.

There is my list. No more fucking around. I have momentum. I need to keep working and keep it going.

Over Christmas I painted something for Ms. Ghastly. As I was sitting there working it occurred to me that I like to paint. That may sound stupid but I realized that painting was something I liked to do, something I had fun doing. Go figure.

What everything basically boils down too is I need to remember that my job is where I make money so I can make art. If it's been a long day and I'm tired tough shit, I can put in at least an hour of work. No more fucking excuses.

Happy New Year! I hope every one's year has been productive and fruitful. I look forward to talking to you all more often. Hope your night is filled with friends and all the beer you can drink. Talk to you all soon.

More of the same

Jesus, it's already December. Where did the year go? Wow that was quick.

I recently participated in the Canvas Project held by the Art House Gallery. They basically sent five mini canvases to people all over the country to be painted and sent back for a show on Dec 12. The theme for the show was 10,000 memories or something like that. Here is my submission.


Sorry about the image quality. At the moment I only have the camera on my phone.

Art House usually has a few art projects going at a time. I've participated in three so far. I just singed up for The Sketchbook Project Volume 3 they send you a blank 64 page sketchbook and you fill the pages and send it back to be included in a show. The difference this time around is they're going to be shown in several different cities. This should be fun.

That's it for now. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Get out and do something Christmasy. Talk to you all soon.
