So a few days ago I was exposed to a tv series called The Big Bang Theory… and I’m hooked. A visiting friend brought the first two seasons on DVD, and I’m so sad we won’t have time to get through all the episodes before he heads back home. If you’re like me, and have a bunch of geeky friends or are geeky yourself, then you’ll probably be able to appreciate this comedy. You’ll even learn some random physics/science facts.

In other news, here’s another editorial illustration piece titled “Wired to Write”. This one is for an article about therapists who started a writing group where they use their experiences and their client’s lives as inspiration for novels and short-stories. And for those who are concerned about the privacy of the clients, the article specifically said all persons gave explicit permission to use their likeness in any written works.

Let me just say that hot cocoa is my new best friend.

I’ve actually skipped two of the pages for the time being, so although this piece follows the sugar glider piece and is second-to-last, it’s not my second-to-last to complete.

Again, not quite finished yet.

Uggggggghggbbb. I’m a few days behind my personal schedule for this week. I wanted to have my fourth piece nearly finished by Monday, but that’s not going to happen. Oh well, I’ll just have to catch up shortly after. I’ve allowed myself sufficient time before my show to make revisions, but I’m hoping I can get back on track before then. If not, I’ll just plunge ahead as if on schedule, and then address any neglected pieces during that extra week.

Usually if you have trouble on one piece, one of the next ones will go exceedingly smooth and fast. Right? Too bad I threw away that month-old fortune cookie. It could have given me the answer.

In the meantime, here’s the linework to the page that I just can’t seem to color right.

How cool would it be to have a pet sugar glider? But alas, I love sleep too much and wouldn’t be able to give them the cheery all-night, every night conversation they so deserve. Still. It’d be pretty cool.

I’d like to make a formal apology to my colleague, Corey, for not posting sooner so that he may be distracted from his own work. So here you go, Corey. This post is for you!

Detail shot of the nearly finished first page for senior show:

Work-in-progress of the next page, where our little plushie friend has a splashin’ good time with the river otters. I have to work on the rocks a bit more, and finish the otters.

Also, I finished the “Stockholm Syndrome” piece. Tigers are delicious.
