New Years....

S'funny. I thought I was keeping up with this. Next thing I know I am more than 15 days behind.

I started working on the storyboards for the next cartoon. Gonna try to spend a little more time on the design process on this episode.

Admittedly, I have been taking it a bit easy, as far as working on Captain Capitalism is concerned, the past couple weeks. There is usually a big push finishing the cartoons. Since the last cartoon had a kind of deadline with the holidays, I let a lot of things slip. I spend a lot of time sitting in a chair. Since I am have my black belt test in a few months, I have been trying to get back in shape, to make up for the holidays and the last cartoon.

I am also trying to talk someone into sponsoring the shorts, in a way, and do the whole advertising in the cartoon sort of deal, like when Fred Flintstone would schill Winstons. I think it would be very fitting for the character.

A nice guy, Tom Luffman, has a nicer girlfriend. She bought him a bunch of Captain Capitalism merchandise, and keeping to my word, I did a sketch for him. Tom is a boxing writer, being a fan myself, I decided to do a boxing themed print for Tom. Called "K.O. of the Pinko."

I love George Bellows' boxing paintings. So I looked at several them before starting.
Then I realized I would never have the ability to create something like that , so I dismissed everything and made this rubbish:
then I tied the rubbish down:
which finally became this:

Been working from home the past few days...it has been terribly cold here, for Texas. It snowed. Something we don't see so often. Nikita (my husky) has become so Texanized, that despite her breed, she too was confused by the snow:


Here are some of those cake pictures I have talked about previously:
The cake pan is only two years younger than I am.

The abstract Captain America that was made for my 31st b-day.


Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, made immortal in cake for the last UFC pay-per-view:

Me and the champ-cake:

Hopefully I will be back with some boards soon. Apparently, "To bleep or bleep" is going to be on Channel Frederator this week...which is strange since it has been so long since that cartoon came out...but I will be back this week to talk about that and provide links.
