Patriot Nation in the House







What a crazy couple of weeks! First, I get my first real commish, and now my take on Major Victory (our school's patriot mascot) on the back of the Spirit Week t-shirt. The shirts are hot off the press today and got a good response from staff and students. I even got asked to sign one! Whoohoo! Definitely geekin' out just a little!

Water covers 80% of the earth-Patriot Nation covers the rest. Or at least that's what I'm believing!

Wait...you wanna pay me to draw?!


That's right folks-someone actually gave me money to draw! Now I know that this may be the norm for some of the professional artist type, but for little ol' me with the chunky digits, it's pretty ama-za-zing. I've been asked by friends or kids at my school to draw things before and even given money for it, but I've never had someone I don't know request(dare I say commission) me to draw something for them. The commissioner saw some of my art on my wife's etsy shop and contacted her with the details of what he wanted. After a couple of emails, I ended up doing an 18x24 piece of him and his dog as He-man and Battle Cat. It was little different request, but I gotta say, it was a blast to do! Anyway, I'm sure all kinds of offers will be rolling in any minute so I better keep this post short, but even if they don't the world is still my oyster, I can see clearly now the rain is gone, and I whistle while I work. What can I say, life is good.
