I don’t typically do a lot of illustrating – especially in Illustrator – but I’m always intrigued by the process. So I thought I’d share my process tonight. Starting with some basic sketches on my iPad (above).
Then converting one of the characters to Illustrator with custom brushes and coloring it in.
And then adding a few additional touches and text for a web banner.
I’m not 100% sold on the final web banner – but we’ll see.
Maybe more like this?
What would you change?
13 years later it may be time to retire my first intramural “jersey.”

Lay down
Lay down
Lay your sweet lovely on the ground
Lay your love on the track
We’re gonna break the monster’s back
Yes we are…
Lay down your treasure
Lay it down now brother
You don’t have time
For a jealous lover
As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart
I don’t know if I can take it
I’m not easy on my knees
Here’s my heart I’ll let you break it
I need some release, release, release
We need
Love and peace
Love and peace
Lay down
Lay down your guns
All your daughters of Zion
All your Abraham sons
I don’t know if I can make it
I’m not easy on my knees
Here’s my heart I’ll let you break it
I need some release, release, release
We need
Love and peace
Love and peace
Baby don’t fight
We can talk this thing through
With me, me and you
I’ll call on your phone
The TV is still on
But the sound is turned down
And the troops on the ground
Are about to dig in
And I wonder where is the love?
Where is the love?
Love and peace
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
So IDiddy fell and bumped his head outside my office today. I rushed out to pick him up and check on him. He ended up cuddling with me for a couple minutes before I went back to work.
His brother decided he wanted in on the action so according to my mom, he went in the other room and tried several ways to “hurt” himself. Once he finally knocked his head and started crying she rushed over to pick him up and he said, “No! Dad!”
And then came back down the hall to my office to see me.
What a silly schemer…
And of course after hearing his brother laughing in my office – someone else is standing at my door wanting to play as well.
Zoom H4N & Sennheiser ew100 g3 wireless lapels.
My boys discovered an ant pile today.
