Just a quick note to my clients I will not be taking any new jobs for the next couple of weeks due to some medical work I'm getting done. I'll put up a notice as soon as I'm back on my feet and working again. Thank you so much for your business and I hope to do business again with you in the future.

The Detective

Wanted to work on a cartoon and take a break from a lot of the more detail stuff I've been doing.

Great Pod cast

http://examinedillustration.blogspot.com/ Just found this great pod cast by one of fellows who brought us illustration party time. It's great to listen to while your drawing and I think takes a bit more mature look into the life of a freelance artist. So give ita try guys I've been really enjoying it and think it's something we should all support.
