Things have been super busy on my idiodessey as of late.  Out of town trips to both coast and way more work than I want, but will happily take it.  I came home with a ream of paper from Chicago.  I did some drawings while there, but more than a couple handfuls.  So I decided that I needed to draw on the rest of the ream.  I've been working, not as often as I should, but they are now complete.  225 drawings done on 11" x 8.5" 110 lbs. cover stock.  Cheap, but package says acid free.  I start with a light sketch, then two layers of acrylic ink wash to lay in the body color.  Colored pencil to darken the shadows followed by a good heavy No. 2 pencil.  It makes them POP.  Here's a quick, by that I mean 53 seconds, look at all 225 "Chicagonauts."

Here's three animations I made while in Chicago.  Getting better with the technique.  Looking for a newerish camera.  I need one with a remote trigger, having to push the button on the camera is causing some of the inconsistent frames.

I turned the front coat closet into a filming of drawing room.  I really dig the video aspect.  Animation stuff coming soon.

First video is a little lower quality, the second one is shot in 1080p Hd, yadda yadda yadda.

I recently had to replace the upstairs apartments stoop.  It had a problem of leaking into our front closet.  Finally had the time and energy to fix it a couple weeks ago, but in solving one problem, I created a new one.  What do I do with the new space?  I decided on a one chaired office.

Seriously, one stool, computer cart, book shelves for stuff.  Drawing table from my childhood cut down to fit the closet sized space.

Even set up a webcam to record me drawing and leading into more animations. 

Here's a video from some of today's test.  I think this is gonna be one sweet office.
