#$%@&ing Glendale...

**UPDATE!!** SO. Theify McTheiferson decided to return my bike. To the exact spot that he (or she) stole it from! Mere hours after they stole it!

Say it with me now. "THE F@#$...?"

My basket is dented and my handlebars were turned the wrong way. Some minimal repairs at the bike shop tomorrow, some new air in the tires, and I should be good as new!

So, if you've been reading this, don't go out beating up people riding blue bikes. Mine is back, safe and sound, and I can confindently say I'm never letting it out of my sight again. And I think I'm going to soak it in a thick coat of lysol now....




*****************************************************************

Okay. I apologize in advance, but I have to detract from my usual artistic bents this evening.

Someone--either some pimply-faced halfling or one of the many can-hoarders that congregate around the dumpsters outside my apartment--has STOLEN MY GODDAMN BIKE!! Out of my laundry room! They actually went into my building, strolled into the laundry area, and strolled out with my bike. Asshole!

CLICK ON IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW!!

It's a Target special, bright blue with the word "MAGNA" in white down the side. Black seat, black wire basket and a yellow sticker that says "La Bicyclette" on the front inbetween the handlebars. It's a 10-speed and, I believe, a 26 incher. It had a chain lock in the basket, which I somehow doubt is still there.

So, my faithful readers (all 2 of you), I'm asking you to help me out here. If you live in Glendale, and you see someone riding THIS BIKE that you see pictured above, tackle them to the ground, wrench my sweet 10-speed baby from their grasp, and return her to me! And I will reward you hansomely...;)

Emo Day

Every artist has to have an emo day. It's the LAW.

Lately I've been feeling kind of frustrated with my work. Occasionally I'll get something I'm happy with, but today it seems I'm stuck in a rut.

What does everyone do when they're having an off day? How do you snap out of it and get re-charged and inspired?

More Cute Girls

I've been on a cute girl drawing kick lately. Here are three more: a Mae-West-ish 50s/80s mix (say that ten times fast!), a Vegas showgirl type, and an unfinished girl who started out as a rocker chick and ended as something I wasn't altogether pleased with.

Have a good weekend everyone! Remember to sketchcrawl this Saturday... :)

Cute Girls

Cute girls! With really thick calves! Drawn the old fashioned way, scanned, and colored in Photoshop. I've been working on a collaboration lately that involves drawing cute girls. These aren't for that project, but I had fun drawing them nonetheless.

I was experementing with color on the last one...not sure if I like it all that much, though. Oh well. The good thing about having the drawings on paper is it's possible to scan them in again and re-color. Go technology!
