Something I forgot about and finished up.
I’d like to start using this blog for the other word that is listed in its description: “inspirations”. I’m on the internet way too much. One of the characteristics (and vices) of being a digital artist is that you have the entirety of the internet at your finger tips at all times. In any case, I see lots of weird, touching, fascinating and just plain hilarious videos, pictures, blogs and profiles scattered about the web. So I’d like to start sharing some of those things that I find inspiring and that end up touching in me in some way or another. Ill start with this: My Milk Toof.
Ickle and Lardee from: My Milk Toof
This adorable and endearing web-comic brightens my day every time I look through it. Inhae, creator, artist, and author has transformed her milk teeth (or baby teeth) into unforgettable characters, Ickle and Lardee. The two teeth embark on epic adventures and hilarious skits around the house and out in the yard. Its a beautiful combination of sculpture, photography, and comics. These are some of my favorite strips but be sure to look through all of them.
Heavy for the Holidays . Up and Away . Bed Buddies
enjoy!

Something I’m working on for Creature Planets – the weekly activity I help run over on CGHUB.

After a good 4 days of looking through forums, sifting through websites, and pulling my hair out, I have finally been able to get Fish Hook Studio back up and running. Of course, I didn’t do this alone. In fact, I was ready to call it quits and just forget about the blog entirely when an old friend showed up and helped me get through what was wrong. An extremely big thank you goes to Josh Blanton for helping me out. I could not have recovered this blog without you! You’ve made my week!
Anyway, in between worrying about this blog, I have been working hard on things here and there for different projects. I’ll be posting more images soon! I was able to complete an image for The Morae River. Of course it’s of a Mardik (there are four different species on the island) they are my favorite genus. However, new creatures are on the way.

Lots of projects coming up and lots of updates. These characters are from a private project I’m currently working on. Lots of fun! I love drawing dinosaurs way too much! I’ll show more later as the project progresses and opens up more. I’ll also be posting some work from a book collaboration I’m working on with Opal Palmer Adisa. I’m honored and very excited to work with this author on one of her personal book projects. I can’t wait to get started!
Some other great new is that I will start co-running the Creature Planets over on CGhub.com. My partner in crime is the incredibly talented Mr. Ogi Grujic. We will be working as a team to come up with topics for the community to participate in and lead in critiques and discussion about works being produced for the topics.. I’m very excited and honored to be a leader of this community challenge. I’m able to work with so many talented artists! Hopefully Ogi and I can help carry on what Mike Corriero had started – its a very high bar!
Anyway, I’m off to finish my evening with a bit of reading. I’ve added my good reads widget so you can check out some of the books I’m into.
