I need a break…bad. in four days, i will officially take a week off from everything “work oriented.” two of my fellow compatriots Ryan and Vincent will be whisking me away to the majestic land of Seattle. Gonna just sit, read, draw, and drink til my hearts content.
So here is some of the stuff i have been up to in the last week….I finished another book cover…this one is for my Trevor Calvert’s collection of poetry entitled ” Rarer and More Wonderful” published by Scrambler Press.

Black birds wings are a lot harder to draw than they look…lots of overlap and transparencies…not the easiest to do with FW Ink. all be it, lots of fun to finally nail….this is also the fist wraparound cover I have gotten to design…I dig. This book will be available from Scrambler by the end of the month…if you live in the bay area, the author will be giving readings in various book stores to support its release…..i know, vague… I will post more detailed info on its release when I get it. And ofcourse I would encourage all of you to get out there and support Trevor because it really is an amazing bit of writing.

Bout two weeks ago I got asked to go and talk at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz CA, about the wonderful world of illustration and how to stay afloat in it….it was kind of odd to sit with my feet in cement talking to a bunch of 18 year olds about my artwork…i think it went well though. After words, I got to sit in on a model drawing session which was a lot of fun….god, i think it had been a year. here was one of the 20’s.

thats all for now gang….see you after the Vacay.
