Happy Birthday Jan!

We have started a new gift tradition with Em's parents.

We do a store bought gift, and then we do a home made gift.

This year Em and her sister purchased a lovely necklace, but we wondered what we would make for Jan. Em made a lovely pieces of artwork for her Dad, so we concluded why don't I get my butt in gear and contribute something. So now we have Jack, and his little cousin Kevin hanging out with Grandma on the couch.

2010 Family Portrait

Since Jack has been born I've been trying to draw a family portait every year.

I've always been into the adventuring family unit, like Johnny Quest, the Fantastic Four, and Tom Strong. In this drawing I have Em piloting the ship with great skill and sense of direction. But of course like on all road trips you have engine trouble. So I get to draw myself as "ideal me" who knows how to reverse polarity and divert the emergency power to the forward shield so that we don't burn up on entry of the atmosphere on a alien planet with the help of my trusty sonic screwdriver. Then Jack being the precocious 3.5 year old he is, is incredibly proficient in getting into everything including the fiber optic data cables that link up the sensors to the navi-computer.

These things are always fun to draw, and maybe I'll get around to drawing something else soon (something with ancient relics and motorcycles.)

Wedding gift progress! (yep...still on pencils).

It's Day Two. Pencils are coming along for the gift. On day three I hope to get the faces in, and by day four or five I hope to start on inks.

Check back to follow the progress of the art. 1.Sketch (Done) 2.Pencils(in Progress) 3.Inks 4.Color 5.Digital 6.End Product! In the future I'll also be asking help for decisions to make on details of the design like the title of the movie and other details.

Also keep an eye out for guest appearances by Jack.

Also start thinking up of names for the Movie! I'm going to soon start taking submissions!
