Ahhh! I'm 29 today!!!

Today's my Burfday. And what's the fist thing I do? Post up a sketch! Does anyone else feel the ever-looming pressure of the age 30? Like when you were young... did you dream by the time you reached 25, you would've gotten your superpowers and would've saved the world a few times already?


Haha, well here's a sketch with a theme I'm tossing around: Chicks with bad-ass monsters. Hopefully I'll get to drawing more on this theme on our tuesday night draw nights. Painted version will come soon. (Maybe not too soon...)

Jon!! Happy birthday! And looks like you've been following through with your new year's resolution. Looks awesome! You know there's a saying that when you've drawn a million monsters, they will all come to life and save the world......

Wow, I just followed a link here from Alan Tew's blog. At 29 you're doing a helluva lot more than me! I'm a year younger, a graduate from UCSD wishing I could study at CalArts and go on to bigger and better things.

Thanks everyone for stopping by, and the birthday wishes.

Mark: Haha, I'm not promising anything.

Marco: I don't, but I'd love to have a sketchbook for sale... if anyone would buy it!

Michelle?! Hey! Thanks for letting me know that you dropped by. I do believe you were my first "drawing buddy". Long way since crayons, huh? Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm set on making this last year of my twenties, really count!

Nice shapes. I really love the movement and balance in your drawings. I'm working on incorporating some of it myself. If you get the chance drop by my blog gettingfancywiththespices.blogspot.com. I keep up to date with everything you post and look at it often. Your command of appeal is really humbling!
