Dimetrodon
Someone on Twitter mentioned the Dimetrodon. I mean, how often does this cool dinosaur get mentioned in casual conversation?
So..I had to do a quick drawing.
Here he is..in all of his mammal-ish glory.
(True story...they are closer to mammals than reptiles.)

Developing a Character
A potential client contacted me, telling me that they liked my work, and that they wanted a mascot created for their company and thought that I was the guy to do it.
After a few SKYPEs back and forth, I got to work on the design.
The company deals things such as servers, band width, and streaming video.
First, I drew a few roughs based on the conversation I had with them.
They liked the wizardly looking character, but wanted him more business like, not so much "elf".
So I drew this guy.
Getting closer to the look they wanted, so I added color.
It was decided that they didn't want the hat.
( I work in layers to keep things organized, so ta daaa)
Decided to lose the glasses.
( Who loves layers? I do!)
Needed something to suggest streaming video.
Almost there. Lose the wand and make it a cable.
Finally, make the cable longer, and there you have him.

Noodler!
Got myself a fantastic fountain pen, a Waterman Phileas, so I am busy breaking it in.
I ran through the ink cartridge that was supplied, and did some research on good inks to use in the converter.
Came across a strangely named company, Noodler's Ink, and had to try it.
When our daughter was born, she was under weight, and we had to feed her every two hours.
Sleep deprived, we found ourselves watching all sorts of things on tv.
One of the most fascinating things on was a documentary about the sport of "noodling".
This is the practice of finding a catfish hole, and sticking your arm in it, in hopes that the fish will latch on to your arm, allowing you to catch it.
I saw it maybe three times, but I think Amy managed to watch it almost everytime it was on.
So, in honor of my Noodler's Ink, which is working great by the way, I present a successful Noodler.
