My friend Kristen says: if you're behind on your blog, you need to upload a random cat picture. I had to borrow a cat.

Pacific Sharp Nose Shark: Shark Week Sketch Jam

I missed a day of the Shark Week Sketch Jam, which was the lantern shark. Aaaaaaand then I didn't post my Pacific Sharpnose Shark. So, here are the last few days' worth of Sketch Jam sharks:
Sharpnose, Lantern and Shark Ray.

The last day was a "pick your own shark" day. I chose the Shark Ray because I have never drawn one before and I thought it would be fun.

Bamboo Shark

Day 5 of Shark Week Sketch Jam is the Brown-Banded Bamboo Shark.

Both boys decided to join me for this one.

Shark Week Sketch Jam: Longnose or Saw Shark

Day 3 of the Shark Week Sketch Jam was the Longnose or Saw Shark. Logan and Sean both participated with me today. These should be the last ones drawn in the hospital.

Shark Week Sketch Jam: Thresher Shark

Day 2 of the Shark Week Sketch Jam over at DeviantArt was the Thresher Shark (yesterday). Despite the fact Sean was still in the hospital, we both managed to get our sharks drawn and submitted.
Here's the DeviantArt group: Shark Week Sketch Jam

... or you could just look at them on this blog....

Shark Jam: Hammerhead

I am participating Shark Week Sketch Jam! over on the Deviantart website in honor of Shark Week.

Every day, the moderator will name a shark, and the participants all submit a drawing of that shark to the group page.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I ended up drawing today's shark (Greater Hammerhead) in my son's hospital room. The up side is that he decided to participate as well.

Work that lasts

So...
I was just flipping through the South Carolina Aquarium's website. It is cool that a lot of the pictures I took while I was there are still being used.

There's also a non-working link to Fish Fusion, an interactive I illustrated for the the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. A quick web search showed that it is still alive and well Click Here to Play!

It is neat when things you do last...

(Speaking of which...if you go to the Great Hall gallery of the SCA site, you can see a picture of two little boys using a touchscreen - they're some of my best work.)

Snowtrooper Cartoon #1

Well, the boys and I watched (for the millionth time) The Empire Strikes Back the other day. I had doodled a Snowtrooper a while ago, so I turned it into a little strip.

There are actually 2 more Snowtrooper comics waiting to be scanned, colored and posted.

Enjoy.
