How’s a guy supposed to get any boating done around here?

What will undoubtedly be the last swim of the year.

Geez… missed a bunch…

… you know you got a lot of commissions lying around when you miss posting a bunch of ’em to your blog…

Here’s the rest of the ‘little ones’:

And here’s the latest ‘big’ one:

Okay… what’s next?

The ones for Nashville.

Although I haven’t got the plane tickets yet and am starting to wonder if I’m going at all.

Stay tuned.

Should be a good one!

Hope to see you there!

Yesterday, today was tomorrow…

Wow… here it is June already!

I’ve been trying to get caught up on my commissions but ‘life’ keeps getting in the way.

They say time is nature’s way of keeping everything from happening at once

but it doesn’t seem to be working lately.

Anyway… here’s a couple of larger drawings that I’ve penciled and are ready for inking:

but first, I have to finish a few smaller commissions for the Heroes show coming up in a couple of weeks:

…plus, don’t I have a boat around here somewhere that I should probably get in the water?

Hmmm…

CATS!!!

We’ve been staying at a friend’s place looking after their–what else?–cats.

I’ve taken over their dining room and have been busy sketching chapter two of

Grant Morrison’s story, ‘The Dream of the Absent Cat’.

Now… I just have to piece these into an eight page layout with the lettering.

And draw it all full size, ink and colour it.

It’s a slow process… then I’ll have only 32 more pages to go.
