Chel and Princess Mandie

A little something I was asked to color a little while back...Chel from Road to El Dorado and Princess Mandie from Fairly Odd Parents.  It would have been done a whole lot sooner had my old desktop not bar-b-que'd itself....and then forced me to buy editing software that wasn't copyrighted the same year Princess Diana was gettin' chase down by the paparazzi for the last time.

Action Fuckin' Hank

I've been pretty 'mums the word' about this one, but I played a small part in the production of an (adult) comic based on Dexter's Lab...featuring Action Hank, Dexter's Mom, and Lisa (from the 'Babysitter Blues' episode).  I did the re-inks, primary edits, and a small amount of coloring...no big whoop.  This being the first (completed) comic I've ever worked on.

"The Adventures of Action Fuckin' Hank" has been out on Jab Comix since the middle of June with a new page posted every coupla days.  Having been on vacation the past few weeks in a locale that doesn't have wifi and has little (if any) cell service (that's not a bad thing), today was the first I'd heard of the comic being up and running.

Yeah, sorry, it's a pay site...

In case anyone is wondering (as I'm sure some of you are), yes, I did make a little money from this during the production process....enough to pay one month's power bill.  As for Jab, no, I don't make any residual profits from him/them.  To be quite honest, it's hardly the gold mine one might think it is...and if this wasn't just a hobby and I didn't have a regular nine-to-five job, the term "starving artist" would definitely apply.

Summer Time

As promised, a brand new annual Summer piece from Gagala.  How fitting that I should receive this while on day nine of my twelve day vacation...five of which I spent on the beach sipping on fruity umbrella drinks and cavorting with scantly clad women.  :D

Alone Time - Part Two

A continuation of Ann and Timothy's "alone time" while Kim is out on a mission and Tweebs are at Grandma's house.  In real life however, if all the little heathens were out of the house for any length of time the only thing Ann and Timothy would be doing is sleeping....or at least that's the way it works at my house.

Out with the Old

My poor, tired old desktop is not long for this world.

I've been nursing this old Dell Optiplex Core 2 along for the past year or so while I gathered up enough scratch to purchase its replacement.  Yeah, I know what your thinking....an Optiplex, isn't that a business machine?  Well, yes, but I'm not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination and most of my computing time is spent surfing and/or using my ancient graphical editor that was designed when Windows 3.11 was all the rage.  I have no need for some monster gaming rig....that and I'm kind of a cheap-ass when it comes to computers.

Granted, I have a lot of vintage / out-moded software that required me run Win XP Pro, but I came to the conclussion that...damn...XP is over a decade old.  It's really starting to show it's age.  I've never actually used Windows Vista, so...yeah...out with the old.

So, later today I have two daunting tasks.  Unpacking my new computer, a Dell Vostro 460 with an i5, and learning how to use Win 7 Pro 64-bit....keeping in mind that I've been running XP for the past decade.  Joy.

So, with that said and my vacation fast approaching, you're probably going to see FAR LESS posts in the coming weeks.

You've been warned.  :D
