Sweatin' to the Oldies

  Happy New Year, everyone. I heard someone say that what you do on the first day of the new year is an example for what the rest of your year will be like. Luckily for me, I had work off, and spent most of the day drawing and reading my books on animation. So the year's lookin' pretty good so far!

  I've been reading through the Walt Stanchfield book "Drawn to Life" again, and man does that light a fire. It makes me crave drawing all the time, which is probably the best craving I could ask for!

  On a less enthusiastic note, I made a poor discovery today. My new, awesome, beautiful computer isn't compatible with my old, outdated scanner. Which means no more scanning drawings until I can afford a new one. Which also means no more animating on paper until I can afford a new one. Smell the depression in the air? I do. But hey, that just means more sketching, and more tiny animation tests in Flipbook. We'll make it through this.

  Anyway, how about some drawings? As per the aforementioned scanner situation, my trusty digital camera was asked to step up to the plate, so pardon the poor lighting, crooked composition, etc.

  I've been drawing a lot of old people lately.

In honor of my love for big, manly beards. And my reluctant lack thereof. Someday, oh hairy glory, I will have thee, someday...
