When Drives go bad...

Nobody likes the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death...So my work laptop went through some "issues" last week and Mr. Blue Screen came for a visit. Now I have been using a desktop that doesn't like Access, it has a track ball instead of the mouse I am used to, and the monitor is an ancient piece of technology that even my Archeology background (more like a hobby) would say..."Hmmm interesting, perhaps from the 90's era". Don't get me wrong, I appreciated being able to use it while the IT guy is on vacation. MR. Murphy decided to pull this stunt the day before he left though the signs were there, we just didn't think where it was leading to. I have been using my own laptop so that that I transfer stuff between the desk top and it. This gives me the privacy I have gotten used to and the lighting that doesn't force me to take aspirin to stop the headaches. Boy...Am I bitchy today or what?

I have been working on Betty in my off time. You remember Betty don't cha? This is Betty!

Well maybe you don't remember Betty. I tweaked her a little and did some of the edges but it's still the same sketch without any real touch up. Wait until you see the work I've done on Betty! Til the next post...Cheers! And have a pint for me wishing me a good hard drive to come into my hands!

Thoughts On Comics Over A Cup Of Tea?

So one of the cool things about Comic Conventions is that if you are lucky you walk away meeting cool and interesting people...Well this year I did just that. One of the couples I met were Derek and Nikki Davis. Follow art and comic junkies like yours truly. So here is my thank you for letting me get a good chance to BS with them:

Go check them out, they just started this blog so give it time.

I'm working on a couple of sketches right now to just tweak my skills a bit, which is something that everyone needs to do in order to improve anyways. Have you ever wondered why Yellow Trucking Company Trucks are Orange? From information gathered it's because way, way back they were part of Yellow Taxi Cab company and when the monopoly went splitsville they could keep the name but not the color. How is that for totally useless trivia?

Stay cool and remember to have a pint on me...Cheers!

Who deserves a treat? Yeah...good dog...good dog...

Enjoy these photos of my dogs showing me they deserve a snack...and to those of us who have dogs...we know they do this with the knowledge they have you wrapped around their paws.


Good Mike...good Mike...that's it give us a treat...good Mike...
Woof!

Jinx - The Final Frontier - Maybe...

The Dr. is back!

So Dr. Who is back for the next season on Sci-Fi this Friday night! Awesome as the summer was getting pretty dull with out a hit of good Science Fiction. I reworked Jinx a little as her right leg was bugging the heck out of me. It kept hitting me.
Let me introduce to you Copper. The newest member of the family. On separate runs taken by my wife and I, we saw him running around, dirty, no tags, and not a good diet. I am a sucker for animals people. I think peace would be better if we all let the pets of each politician in the room when they are getting angry. Yeah...I know it is not going to happen but we can all dream. We put his photo up on the web for losts and strays and no bites occurred. So we decided since he got along with us and my other "kids" he was welcome.

Cheers and go grab yourself a cold Molson!
