All right enough freaking politics for a while. At least till King George and his band of Merry Republicans does something incredibly stupid or harmful again.....shit thatll probably be tomorrow! :lol: :lol: Anyway I promised earlier today to post some art so here are the initial pencil sketches and developmental pieces for the illustrations done for this months 2O2P Magazine. Also Im posting up the cover illustration which was a collaboration with Darth Cestual from the OMM, because its nice to see it without all the type over it. Im going to try and post at least one new doodle or sketch every week, so check back often.

One last ramble before the art. careful lots of "F" bombs ahead, its what happens when Im tired and in pain. You see I have to go put Ice on my fucking shin and then go to bed. When ya decide to have kids they dont tell ya about all the harm that will come your way as a result. Tonight while shutting off lights and checking doors before bed, I slammed my shin into a small stepping stool that my son drags all around the house so he can climb up and grab shit he shouldnt be grabbing. So the fucking stool is never in the same place twice. Needless to say it was in the center of the kitchen and as I cut across the kitchen in the dark to save time, i drove the fucking stool into my left tibia bone. I swear to god i almost shit my pants, pissed my self, puked and passed out all at the same time. What A site it was, 43 years old, hunched over in the dark hanging on to the kitchen counter like it was the last fucking life boat on the Titanic, trying to remain conscious, while the oatmeal raisin cookie I had just bitten into slowly, in chunks, drops from my mouth to the floor. if it wasnt me, i would have been laughing my fucking ass off! :lol: :lol: However, it was me. So, no laughing, just ice and bed and an acorn size knot on my shin that looks like a new foot is trying to grow out!!

With that off my chest..or shin as it may be, heres the sketches.

peace.

Nice pics guys! The cover illustration is a brilliant concept! Although not anywhere near the professionalism of your sketches, I think Im going to start posting random sketches/doodles as well. If you havent been, you really need to post your work at www.digitalwebbing.com Good stuff guys!

That is some funny stuff Batman, but I will give you a quick biology lesson. Your shin bone is actually your tibia. The femur is your thigh bone. Please correct your blog to prevent the spread of your ignorance. :) :)

Man, I thought Bats could see in the dark. Sweet artwork there. Although with the female figure in it, it wont make it to my desktop at work like the last one did. Oh, and the administration did something right today. They finally got Al-Zarqawi. Hey, if youre going to blame them for all the BS they had nothing to do with, you have to give them props for other shit they had nothing to do with. :-)

Thanks guys i appreciate the support. Wilderz you should definitely start posting up some work dude, i would love to check it out. With 3 kids Stryker you definitely know what Im talking about. :-) Crane thank you very much for the biology lesson, you would think as an artist of the human form i would now the difference. Ill chalk it up to being very late, and a bleeding shin :-) I corrected it above. Now my ignorance is forever solely your burden :-) LOL. Thanks KB for the props. yeah the 9th time we killed this guy is all that liberal, Bush hating, Democratically controlled media you are always blaming wants to talk about. :-) Listen if they really got the guy this time and its not just another PR stunt Im very happy, good riddance. The issue is that the Al Qaeda sponsored foreign fighter problem in Iraq represents maybe 10% of the insurgency. So its a great win if he is dead but its not the answer to Iraq and I would not expect much change in the violence over there. Then again maybe getting al-Zarqawi is what we are over in Iraq for? Well lets see its not because of WMD, and its not because of Saddams involvement with 911, and its not to bring democracy, and its not to get more oil so we can reduce the prices at home, so it must have been to catch or kill al-Zarqawi!! excellent!! Looks like the job is done its time to come home!!!! BAT

No denying youre a great artist dude! The things I hate the most are plastic army men and little metal airplanes. It seems that my kids like to booby trap the hallway infront of the bathroom with those things.
