Happy Leap Day!


I'm so not used to getting extra time in the schedule, so I feel like anything I get done today is a bonus. Yay! I'm drawing a bunch of recycling kids from Riverside as well as tackling a couple other tiny projects, and I'm enjoying the blue skies and breezes on this lovely day.

The Punch Brothers really knocked it out of the Troubadour last night. I had a great time with good friends and a packed house (including other artists the Watkins, Jon Brion, and Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones). They did two sets which included a good portion of their latest album and that of their last incarnation How to Grow a Band. Really great stuff!

Well, I'm back to the drawing board. Peace & love, y'all!

Life, continued...


Hi all! I'm happy to say that whatever had me illin' since Saturday is on its way out. Just the phlegm remains. TMI? Anyhoo... It's amazing how working on a show, especially one with such a concentrated schedule, can alter the normal routine. Li'l Abner was so much fun, but now I have to dive into all the stuff that's been waiting for me whilst I was away...

I'm deep into work on various illustration jobs – a family portrait for some lovely folks who earned my ink in a charity auction, a comic/coloring book follow up to my previous Green Riverside project, and a coloring book design for a bus company. I also have a party caricature gig coming up on Saturday which will be fun. The Squigs is busy and that's a good thing.

It's also time for catching up on things that aren't as much fun. I went to the dentist yesterday. Ugh. I had to get a little work done so I ended up numb then sore. So, going with the flow I set up my tax appointment. It's time to pile all the unpleasant routine stuff into a giant bandaid and rip it off at once. "Ouch" now. "Ah" later.

But to counteract the "ouch", I gots plans. In the near future, I'm going to catch a few shows with friends – Watkins Family Hour at Largo tonight, Punch Brothers at The Troubadour next week, and the Elvis-y musical All Shook Up at MTW soon thereafter. And in a few weeks I'm happy to say that I'll be visiting the Bro and his family in Minnesota. The niece and nephew are growing up so fast, and I've got to drop in for a play date.

Well, that's a heck of an update for now. Take care, all. Peace and love.
