Who is he?...Not even he knows.

Hey, gang.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm just coasting by...waiting to turn a year older this Monday. Yay me.
Anyway, This week sees the introduction of a mysterious new character named Magnus X. I'll post the profile soon; but go ahead and click on the b&w art to see him in full color. As always, critiques will be both welcome and appreciated.

Hugz!

Another layer for the Hero Sandwich

Ok...I know we've all seen this one; but I just finished the profile for Big D, and wanted to share with the rest of the class. As you'll see, I'm starting to pull the characters together into a sort of family. The story seems to be writing itself, so a comic may happen sooner than later for these guys.

Hey, gang. Another week has come and gone. "Thanks!" to everyone who visited my Beartoons page last week. I really need to get back to my inking. "Use it - or loose it" comes to mind. Trouble is that 90% of my time goes to making ends meet, leaving me with a puny 10% to devote to my real talents. The worst part of having a day job is knowing that all the blood and sweat you're wasting on it could be used elsewhere to create something great. I always end up feeling guilty or embarrassed for not finding the time to do more. Wouldn't that be cool - to be able to pull a few extra hours a day out of my ass. Eh...tempus fuck it!

Anyway, this week I'm giving everyone a taste of chocolate. I don't know what's the current socially accepted term: "black" to me sounds like it implies that one's skin is actually the color black; "African-American" implies that one lives in America, but was born in Africa; "Nubian" implies that one is from the Sudan or southern Egypt; I believe that "brother" or "brotha" are reserved for use between members within the particular community; just the thought of saying or writing the "n" word makes my skin crawl - that too is reserved for use by members of the community. I like "chocolate". It doesn't imply color, history, geography or social relationship. It's dark and delicious. Simple as that.

And with that said, I was doing some practice sketches this week and decided to have Robert ink one of the better ones. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the brush pen he likes using, so he ended up making due with a finer point. He still did a good job.

Hugz!

Hey, gang. I'm working on new stuffs to post, and absolutely loving on my new profile books from Class Comics. Mike and HVH should be very proud of themselves. The books are wonderful.

In the meantime, I've unearthed some artwork from my college days, and have been working on putting together an online page to share with everyone. First, let me say these are more "Bear" oriented than my most recent work. When I did most of these, I was just coming out and searching for an identity within the gay comunity. Now and then, I consider returning to my Beartoons and seeing were that leads me artisticly. Looking back, I think I grew more as an artist when I was exploring virgin teritory as a bear.

Hey, had time to whip out another character profile this week. So here it is. The incredibly bizzare Farm Boy! The art is scaled down quite a bit and has lost some of it's detail. I'll have to post a better version later.
