HIATUS

It has been a while since my last post, but sometimes work can be a really time vampire for any free time. I am a Director on an animated series (ALMA'S WAY) and since last October 2022 my weekends have been the only free time I have to do script notes for storyboard launches. Doing those notes takes a few days to do it right and with the overly ambitious schedules a lot of shows have to work under the only free time to do those notes has been my weekends. 

BUT, a week ago I was able to launch the last board with the Storyboard Artist ao my weekends are gloriously free until the next season starts (Yes, there are hints that there will be a season 3). I now have some free time to clear out some sanity drawings from by sketch binder. Not a lot were very good, and a lot got ripped up and tossed along the way, but they were my way to wind down after a long day. I sometimes had to force myself to sit down at my portable drawing table and do ... something because you still need to draw or the skills suffer, and boy have mine suffered since last October. 

I hope to remedy that with a bit more sleep and a bit more time to draw. For now, this is what didn't totally suck. Enjoy. 

A few guys ...

A few girls ...

Some doodles for a Christmas card I never got to make ...

I found an old story a college friend of mine, Rob Schmidt, wrote back in 1982 called "Death Da Child 'An Da Road" which was written in a Vaughn Bode style. I was going to try and do a few illustrations, but I quickly abandoned it after a few drawings.

I even worked on my "Elliptical World of Snurd" idea for a bit. On my last post I showed some ideas for Toss' Over-Under craft which can transform for flight, diving under water or traveling overland. The dune buggy version was something I missed posting so it's here now.

Okay. That's it for now. Hopefully, it won't be another 8-months before I post again. Until next time ...
