(re)Drawing killer bears to make them look like the right species, because there's a big difference between grizzlies and polar bears, and not just because you can probably take a grizzly in a straight fight if you set your mind to it.

Ah, bollocks to the research. 13th century muslims should really have taken more photographs for my convenience, but in the absence of access to their Myspace galleries, I'm just going to go with what looks vaguely right.

Sketching the height of reasoned debate between Marvel anklebiters Molly Hayes and Katie Power as they discuss who's cuter - in fact I'm pretty much sketching anything at all that doesn't have a deadline attached. Some days it just ain't happening and you need to just doodle to remember why you like drawing in the first place and not sweat mistakes or whatever. Time enough for deadlines when the OGN has to be drawn.

Day off work today, so I caught up with some potential submission material. Now we're into the early evening and it's time for gym, shower, lots of gaming and then a vague notion of actually finishing up work I've promised to other people.
Kidding - that shit's gettin' done, yo.

sundaze takin' it eazaay...

Nothing much happens on a sunday. Despite my connection with catholicism - monotheism especially - being a long-dead habit, I still enjoy lazy sundays coloured with a hungover beery haze - or stouty haze as is the case today, given last night saw one of my periodic bouts with the black stuff. I took the opportunity to try cycling for the first time in over a year, looked after my sister's kids for a while, then found myself colouring in a Power Pack fanstrip.

I would comment on the Tyrone win over Armagh, but I feel it would be a disservice to a generation of Northern Irishmen who follow a game that's not real football and never will be to pretend I have the first bloody clue what that game is even about. I saw like a dozen handballs in the firt half alone and the ref just lets it slide.
Amateur hour.
It was pretty damn hot today, too. Great to see the weather finally turn, but it means I'll have to make pipe-dream plans to do something significant with my summer again. Well, actually, what I normally do is think about making pipe-dream plans, then decide I'm definitely going to do something, then summer's over, I'm broke, and quite possibly horribly hungover to boot.
But this year? Things are going to be different, etcetera...
