This, That and NFAC

NFAC ends tonight and the top two pictures are my entry this month for the theme 'Halloween'. The bottom two are my last two for Halloween this year. I had bought a pack of Colorfix paper in various colors and really like this shade. I guess my color correction needs a bit of work since the bottom two should have the same color background, but the overall tone is good.

I have updated my Zazzle shop with a few more items today, if you have any requests for items you'd like to see, let me know and I will add them. They are having a contest for designing a recipe binder, so I have been working on that too.

A few weeks back we mailed a package to my nephew in Mali and he received it already, I wasn't expecting it to get there for another few weeks! He is doing well I am happy to report.

It's rainy and chilly in NJ today, not a good combo, although a bit better than hot, humid and rainy.

Wow, look at the time, I better get cracking!

Have a nice day!

Mom, books and more shoes

I'm getting ready to go to moms for my weekly visit which is always fun. We usually end up at the library where I can get books and books on tape, which I like to listen to as I draw on Sundays.

The book I'm reading at the moment is by 'Terminal Freeze' by Lincoln Child and it is excellent. He also writes with Douglas Preston, together they wrote 'Relic' which is one of my absolute favorite books of all time.

I was also busy in Zazzle today designing another pair of shoes, these featuring my drawing 'Beware!' featuring the Grim Reaper. His scythe wouldn't fit but he is still scary with his dark hood and menacing red eyes. Shoes must be approved, which should happen later today or tomorrow at the latest. You can check for them here in the shoe section.

Well I better get going, I have to get to the Post Office too.

Hope you enjoy your day!

New Drawing Surface

Above are my two newest ACEOs done on 100 lb smooth bristol paper. I will be listing these Halloween ACEOs tomorrow night (Oct 4) on eBay. I like drawing on the smooth bristol surface, in the past I have used the vellum surface but think I like this better for pencils.

Now I am off to pack up some mail orders and head to the post office.

Hope you have a great day!
