Goat Steed

So during my senior year in college me and friends started all going to the gym together as motivation to get healthy. One day we went the weather ended up being so nice we couldn't bare to stay inside so we hoped in my friend's car and drove to Maymont. Maymont is a beautiful estate with parks, a petting zoo, animal inclosures, ponds, and lovely Victorian buildings (and horse drawn carriages!). We had a great time walking around (those hills make a good workout) and took loads of reference photos. While walking around I took lots of photos of goats and a great appreciation of them was born. As was the in-joke that if I could have a mighty steed to ride around on I would want a giant goat. References to Thor's goats were also made.

This comic page is pretty much word for word a story I made up as we walked around that day. My friends featured in the last panel are Reach and Seir.

This is pretty much the result of having too much fun with comics, and friends. No regrets. And I really do suggest everyone go visit Maymont if they ever find themselves in Richmond, VA.

2011 is off to a rough start...

Hello all! I hope a safe and fun new year was has by all. I spent mine watching Jason X and Red Dwarf with my love. Fun times indeed. But now I am stricken with the plague (read: Strep Throat) and I haven't had the energy to draw lately. I haven't been this sick for a long time so it's hit me pretty hard. I have some obligations coming up and personal projects that I will be jumping back on once I gain the strength to lift a pencil once again.

In the mean time I have done a few tweaks to the blog. I have added a set of links to the right featuring the blogs of some of my close friends and their artistic projects which include fine art, comics, illustration, sculpture, podcasts, poetry and more. I have some pretty interesting friends so feel free to check them out! I've also added copyright info on the bottom of the blog. I'd like to make a new header soon but that'll have to wait. Once I get well again I'll be chugging away at things and then I'll have more artwork to share. Until then, take care and keep making art! (And don't get sick!)
