Sunday
Since I didn’t get to bed until nearly 6:00 this morning, I slept in until after noon. Again, the cats were cooperative and allowed me to enjoy the respite.

I lazed about the house for a bit and then headed to Borders to get in some drawing time. I did one piece from a business reply card as a warm-up of sorts. Then I looked through a couple of photography magazines for something. I found it in the January/February 2005 issue of American Photo. Inside is an article about XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. The article’s lead picture in the article was of Gina Lynn… and that’s what I drew. (Thanks to for the use of her scanner!) The scan didn’t pick up some of the more subtle shading, but you get the general idea.



Home for dinner and the first half of the season premiere of 24. I’d almost forgotten how much I like this show. Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch tomorrow night’s continuation.

I headed over to visit and for a little while this evening. Tea and talk are always a good way to end an evening.

Stray Toasters

  • For reasons that I have yet to determine, snippets of Billy Joel’s Allentown and The Beach Boys’ Wouldn’t It Be Nice have been running through my head for the past couple of days. In a couple of odd bits of serendipity, I heard both of them today.
  • : Frank Miller will be writing All-Star Batman and Robin
  • It seems as though the voice actor for Marvin the Paranoid Android, from the upcoming The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie has been selected. A few of you might recognize this person.
  • has drawn another Rocket Mouse picture. Go! Now!
  • From PBS’ I, Cringely: Betting a Billion: Bob’s Predictions for 2005
  • The Digital Media Winners and Losers of 2004.

  • How good are you – or do you think you are – at U.S. Geography? Try Place the State and see how right you are. Be warned: It’s very picky about being precise about where you place states: I got 48 perfect out of 50 turns with an average error of 6 miles.
  • : This should put a smile on your face.

I should hit the rack soon. Very soon. I have to get up early so that I can increase Moab’s African-American population by at least 50%. We are doing a couple of installations: One sub-grade and one inside. I don’t think that there’s a bike ride planned this trip – which is good, since I don’t feel like wrestling the bike into the car.

And with that… I’ll be back Wednesday or Thursday.

Namaste.
