Quick question....

One...if you follow/read my blog (thank you!) I'm curious....how did you find me?

Two...I'm going to be fiddling with the layout/design. Does this thing look cramped, right or left of center for you? I'm thinking about a couple design elements, but I'd enjoy some feedback....


So I don't scare anyone away :)
Thanks!

Have a great evening,
-Blake

Grapes of Wrath and Mimes - painted

Good evening, looks like I've got some new followers. Guess I'll have to make an effort to keep people reading. Well, here goes...

I finished the colors on Grapes of Wrath. I'm happy with how it turned out.I stuck to three colors for the grapes. Then, decided to pick a couple more for accents/background elements. I can't stand to spend a whole lot of time mixing paints, so I'm constantly trying to limit my colors.

Since I didn't post a shot of any of the inking process, I'll toss one in for good measure!

The Grapes of Wrath

The Grapes of Wrath and Giggles.
At least, this thing makes me giggle. I chuckled frequently while doing it. There's some fandom buried in there with the faces....

A preview, will be inking soon. And thus, updating. Hoping to get the Mimes, Grapes, and Hot Dog Stand into the Etsy shop by the end of the weekend. And that whole blog design/twitter design/facebook page thing rolling too. (click for slightly larger view)

Ringing in the New Year

Well, it's now 2010. I'm excited for what the next ~364 days have in store for me. As part of my super secret resolution, I'm going to outfit this blog with the following:

- cleaner look
- maybe some actual content worth reading? a format of some sort?
- links to places I haunt
- better integration with other social networking tools I need to use more often
  - un-launched Facebook Page
  - twitter account
  - Flickr account
