More Da Vinci

I always thought this painting was a little weird. I figured she was the "crazy cat lady" of the 1500's.... but whatever. I actually do like the painting otherwise I wouldn't have drawn it.



Not much going on, but I can just feel the home repair projects on the horizon. I know one that should be relatively quick and easy, but you never know. I just need it to warm up a bit so that I can actually do it.

Oh, I forgot to mention that in march Amanda and I will be heading to Phoenix for a week, and at some point in that week we will be in Vegas for awhile. We're not much for gambling, but we are going to get to see the Circ De Sole, "Love" based on the Beatles music. This alone makes Amanda even more excited than she preciously was (if that was possible). Also I finally get to go west of Salina Kansas.

One is light one is dark

If you are not watching LOST you are missing out.

As you can tell I am a big LOST fan. The show is great, but half the fun is just talking with other fans about what you think is going on. I recently had a LOST premiere party at our house. The new season is very promising and I am excited and a little saddened to know that this is all coming to a close.

Very early in the shows first season there is a scene I keep coming back too which told you a lot about the show without telling you anything (which LOST is very good about doing). You can see that scene here.

It's not too late to start watching, but you are WAY behind.

Da Vinci

Much to Amanda's displeasure, I have been playing a bunch of Assassins Creed 2 as of late. I am enjoying the game, but the setting is really what is doing a lot for me. It is set in 15 century Italy and one of the characters you interact with is none other than Leonardo Da Vinci. You also can buy different works of Renaissance art from dealers in different cities. All of the work that you collect is assembled in your own villa. Of all the stuff you do in a video game, this could very well be my favorite. I love buying all this art. Too bad that there is only about 40 or so works you can buy...

Anyway, all of this is giving me a hankering for so good ol' renaissance art from that period. I did a sketch of Da Vinci's and put it on flickr, but I think this looks better and all thats been done to alter it is add sepia tint:

Hey! A POST!

Well I guess I am being consisting about updating about every month. Anyway, not a whole lot has changed as of late. "Same old same old," as I tell my parents. Though I have to confess I am SUPER excited about LOST premiering in a few weeks. Seriously.

A good friend of mine Lee was brave enough to get up on stage and do some stand up. He did very well, though I am sure I am a little biased. But seriously, given the amount of time he had and the fact that it was his first time I really think he did very well. Funny enough, he was the ONLY clean act. Lots of 'rape' jokes. Not funny... To see his stand up, go here.

The pic below is just for fun. But really, where is my damn hoverboard?!

Zombie Comic

So I FINALLY finished my zombie comic. It took months, but it is done. I gave it to some friends at our little christmas party and they all seemed to really enjoy it. If you want to see it go here. I warn you that there are a LOT of inside jokes, so prepare to be confused. There is also a lot of little "easter eggs" in there, but you wouldn't get them unless you were in on some of the jokes. For a little taste, the first page is below:
