So @ 1:30 pm today I had been breathing on my own in this world for 36 years. I am so far from where I had planned to be at this point. However, I am still single with no children so there isn't anything in the way of me becoming the illustrator that I've always dreamed of. There are still certain fears to deal with but, I will get over those.
Dad called today and I had a long conversation with my mom also. I feel better about a lot of things. She said that I am a wonderful son. I don't always think so. But, i'll take her word for it. I love you mom. I love you too dad.

self portrait
i had never really drawn myself before. i did quick sketches in my journal years ago but, never anything with detail. i had five shots of my face on one page but it didn't come out the way i wanted. the two that you can see now are my favorites. people really love the one of me doing my best gene simmons impression..lol. i'll have to redo the original project. it was supposed to be the first of 10 new pieces of work for art school submission. these were done with a .05 lead pencil.
sketch from cell phone pic
it was done during one of my many "bored certified" moments at my job. the mugshot is me. the half torso was from the ol' noggin. i'm planning to get a better camera to share my work with. ballpoint pen on the back of a company envelope.
