It is on.

Ok. I made a choice. Choices suck because picking one thing means not picking a bunch of other things.

This is sort of messed up too - because the guy who's idea I'm picking is an actual art director. The reason that sucks is that he's probably going to put me to the grind, but it's also cool because I'm really curious to see what comes of this.

His idea is to illustrate characters from Tron playing oldschool video games against each other - something like Donkey Kong or Pong etc. or looking goofy using a wii. The painting makes heavy use of glow - something i love to use. And includes a reference to heavy geek themes and pop culture. I'm imagining Flynn vs. Sark in front of a hug oldschool projector style TV or something in a really 70s looking living room. Speeder bikes parked to the side. Maybe one of THESE guys:



I want to use old atari joysticks and an atari with a fat cart sticking out of it. Since most kids don't even know what that is - it's like hmmm, it's like... ummm, it's like a Klondike bar, but it's plastic and has a small video game inside of it. Printed on a "circuit board" or something.

The runners up were (in no particular order):
Joel Julian,
GLEN at a digable planets address,
Aric Sangruchi

If you guys want to email me you addy's - i'll put something in the mail for you.

I sat down...

About two hours ago and started writing back to those who emailed me with ideas. If you posted in the comments I got your ideas! I just wanted to confirm people over email.

I really appreciate you guys and girls wanting to share imagination space with me. It's a cool idea and I'm looking forward to working on something neat.

In the meanwhile, I did this drawing in a sketchbook for a guy at the emerald city comic-con:

I really liked it for some reason, even though it was a quick sketch. I snapped a photo so I could redo it a bit. I plan on using her in a story I've written that's about a million and a half years away from being published. I have to cut the story so it's about 30% shorter cause everybody falls asleep while reading it - then I have to draw the f_cker.

It involves LOTS of eating, cuteness, color, and... well.... poo.

You wouldn't believe how dirty I can get. You might think ya know.

but you don't know...

cheers,
&rew.
