A look back at June...

Wow... how much do I suck?  ONE entry for an entire month?   I need to get back into the game!

A look back at APE-ril...

Yes, I'm getting just as sick of the monkeys as you might be... but I like to do these "look backs" at the end of each month, and since this was the most productive month EVER for Drawsiness, I had to do it's tribute wallpaper...

So above is all 30 apes (and monkeys) from the APE-ril challenge.  Where you draw an ape (or monkey) for everyday of the week.  I kinda cheated, in that some days I did more than one (one day was 7!), but I think as long as I did 30 of them by the end of the month, it's all good.  And I did (barely!).

I decided to visit down pop culture lane with my monkeys... and dug up a bunch of "celebrity" apes I guess... it was kinda fun...   I liked the challenge, it challenged me as an artist.  As I don't usually draw apes and monkeys, and the daily deadline pushed me to be productive quickly... so all and all, I grew... and that's awesome.

A look back at March...

Well, March certainly did not go as planned at all.  I think that's because I was trying to hard to control it.  I wanted a "theme" for the month (can you tell what it was?), and I wanted to keep all the pictures the exact same size.  This resulted in creative frustration and a severe lack of productivity.  This blog was started to just draw stuff and post "whatever"  and here I was saying "No, this month, the drawings must be this, this, and that!"  So it resulted in a hindered about of art.

Also, my webcomic, Waste of Time, started back up and I think I was taking the "creative" edge that I had pulled from this, out on the comic.  I was getting very ambitious with the art there, and not using it in the experimentation realm of this blog.

So only 8 pictures for an entire month, not  a good month at all.  Will aim to be more loose and fluid in April, even though a friend of mine had a sweet idea for a theme.  But I think I'll step back from themes for a bit... and just, draw!

In a side note, I'd love to have that monitor setup.

A look back at February...

The 2nd month of the year has drawn to a close, as has the second month of Drawsiness.

February was flying off the heals of January, and started kinda strong, but mid-month kinda sputtered.  But last month I did a collage pic (and wallpaper) of the month, and liked it.  So here's the one for February.  A few less posts, but I like the "art gallery" approach to displaying them.  It look cool and professional.

Not everything I draw makes it to Drawsiness, some projects remain unseen while I work on them, some are potentially professional, so must remain under wraps for now.  Some just aren't done enough for the world to see.

But I hope to bring it in March!  Viva la Drawsiness!

A look back at January...

Alright, I'll admit, this is kind of a cop-out post, but I digs it anyway.  Drawsiness has been live for a month, and I thought I'd take a look back at the first month of drawsiness, so I fashioned myself this wallpaper (1680x1050 resolution) of all the drawings from January.  It's kinda cool seeing them all together.  Almost like they're hanging in a gallery.  That'd be something.

Also, it's cool, cuz now I have an "older posts" button at the bottom of the page!  That means it's reached TWO pages!  Oh yeah.
