Birthday Doodles

Sometimes, if I'm not too busy, I'll doodle a thing for someone's birthday. These are a few from last year. However, the two "warm-ups" are from 2012. 


From left to right:


Taylor Zaytsoff, Rita Squitiere, Denary Toch, Warm-up sketch, another warm-up sketch, and Ginger Leigh.


Ginger is one of faves. She is a dancer for the neo-burlesque troupe, Peek-A-Boo Revue and she occasionally models for Dr. Sketchy's. She certainly trumps the models you'd see at art school.  


This is also an example for a sale I'm currently holding. $10 mug shots. $20 for adding digital colors. Contact me if you're interested. They make great profile pics on social networks, or you can post it on your desk to show off at work.

An old friend...

Believe it or not, this was something I was holding on to for a while. Probably dating back to 2010 (right around that ball park), but I felt the need to post it here. I mean, I can't let the dust pile up too high, you know? ;-)

A few years ago, I was extremely obsessed developing a comic called Project IMPACT. Hell, I even wrote a screenplay for it. Foresight was the center piece--- my Neo, so to speak. Loved the shit out of her and the rest of the team, but there comes a time where a writer needs to kill their baby. From a professional standpoint, I lit  my script on fire and decided to go back to page one. Fresh start.

3rd time is the charm, as they say.

Writing Update

The itinerary for the next couple of months is set. Generally, it's write-edit-write-edit and write some more. That's pretty much a writer's national anthem. Almost like an endless loop of production and OCD-level editing until a decent body of work emerges. I think the biggest challenge of 2012 for the "House of Ken" will be acquiring an agent or manager, but that long dreary road will only appear when I have all the essentials.

The nameless spec script (because I like keeping secrets) is still marinating in head. I plan to have at all down on paper some time next week. From there, it'll be a test of will, trying to silence that little voice in my head that keeps telling me that I'm not good enough. I hate that voice. It's not as loud as the other voices, but it's the busiest one of them all.

Development of my own show is not going as fast as I had hoped, but that's a good thing. Rushing could easily kill the dream just as quickly as not writing at all. I'm enjoying the pace right now because I'm starting to see things I normally wouldn't see. I suppose it's all a matter of perspective. Besides that, I think the pace slowed down due to the completion of the pilot, which is funny because I think I completed that damn pilot about 7 times already. Drafts, for the most part. Now, I'm at the nut-cutting portion of the show's development and I don't want to fuck up. Slow and steady for now.

Since I happen to be an artist with aspirations of getting work in the entertainment industry, I've been working on the show's look and feel as well. There's a few character concepts, but I'll be moving on to set design sometime in January.

Back to work,
