Time to write

Write what? What comes to mind? This, that and everything. And nothing. Babble, bable. Yadda yadda yadda.

Well, finally got over the hump on that illustration. Nothing spectacular by any means, limited by size first, lack of real inspiration second  and, third and not least of all, my own rusty fingers and intuition for composition, figure drawing and so forth. My wyfe and kids- make that 'kid', only one in the house anymore -are suitably impressed but I know what 'used to be' and so it's pretty pedestrian by my estimate, if not downright dreadful. But it was kinda fun working through the colors, not really my forte, more of a black-and-white guy. Anyway, I ended up painting acrylics on acetate, sort of like a cartoon cel, for lack of any better materials at hand. Tough doing line work with a brush so there are more than one or two fat lines that oughta be more sensitive, suggestive but instead heavy-handed. I don't know whether it'll make the online album, probably not. Remains to be seen whether the client is agreeable to it as a finished product...

In other news, we finally replaced the long-gone digital camera. A definite plus for my little hobby enterprise and attendant eBay offerings. And the family album as well. Yay! I haven't fired it up yet, got a serious case of late afternoon sleepies when we brought it home and took a nap instead of breaking it outta the box and setting up the dock and software. I could be doing it right now but what am I gonna do, take pictures all night? Nah, tomorrow's soon enough.
