Business Busy-ness

Hello folks,

Things have been extremely busy. Work is hopping. I have spent the past several weekends setting up computers for new hires at Powerhouse. I also have had to work a bit at nights on some things that have kept me from Captain Capitalism and Alabama in Space. At the New Year, I made a schedule to complete 4 cartoons this year. I am way behind on that schedule. Don't get me wrong though, all of this is a good thing, but my personal stuff had to be put on hold a little, but I think I can get back on track.

Some other things the Graeber's that we have been up to, in the meantime:

My wife has been working for the Obama campaign, so we went to one of his rallies the other day.

The business busy-ness has cut into my excercise program. I will be going back to boxing for the first time in the past month this week. But I have had time to do a few sketches of Bruce Acuna, the proprietor of "Bruce's KO Boxing." Bruce hosted a boxing event in Austin we went to a few weeks ago, he is a fantastic boxing coach and trainer. He is also a living breathing caricature, very reminiscent of a cross between George Liquor and Burgess Meredith in Rocky:

I hope to keep working on getting a better likeness, and then clean-up some sketches and making a nice color caricature of Bruce. I will probably drop it anonymously at his gym, and run like hell...

I also got a chance to meet one of my best friend's daughter for the first time. My friend Garland's wife, Jenny, was down from Minnesota with their daughter Tate.

She is a beautiful little girl, and was great seeing Jenny and her mom, and meeting Tate.

I am working on a project at work that has givien me the chance to do some caricatures of Obama and McCain:

When the piece is done, I'll post a link.

That is all for now folks...see ya soon
