Nothing is Ever Just Black and White

        One of the most stressful things about this blog, as time goes on, has to be coming up with something original to say about the works I post on here. Provide some kind of way to justify posting what I post, some great big tie-in to life or current events, or some lengthy and deep metaphor -so it seems like I know what I'm doing. You can see how it starts to get a little taxing. There's also a standard of excellence I've set for the work I post. These combine with being busy, and a bunch of other silly excuses and before you know it, I've only posted once in the last seven months! So today I say; "phooey to the rules I've set for no reason!" Because if rules are holding you back from achieving your goals, they aren't rules at all! I believe the word is 'limitation'. That said, here's a post that doesn't meet my personal expectations for what is blog worthy, but is still awesome.One of my biggest achievements actually, because I have never been much for shading.

 Unfortunately, it appears I can't break all my limitations in one post. Just look at that beautifully deep and lengthy metaphor. Isn't life wonderful? So, until next time; Remember who you are, and keep on keepin' on!  

It's Autumn!

 It's that time of year again! Breathe in that fall air! The weather has made a turn to chilly, the leaves are abandoning their roots (pun intended), and pumpkins are showing up everywhere. This beautiful season calls for a drawing! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaf-ing.

Summer days!

Hot off the editing process, this beauty. The shading was a nightmare, especially that sunset, but it was so worth it! I first drew this in the last few months of school. Wishful thinking, I suppose. It took two tries drawing and editing to get it to it's current state of absolute perfection. Lots of work, but it's my creation, my baby. I couldn't give up on it.
I think my other favorite thing about this one is that adorable crab in the bottom left corner.

Well, Con-graduations are in order...

Well, whether it was just recently for you, or a long way back, school is ending for the Summer vacation. And for some, it's graduation season.
Here's to those who've reached the end of a lengthy sidewalk, and are about to make their own paths, good luck, and find joy in the journey before the destination.

Horsin' around with Daddy

A Dad is a great thing. Like, a really great thing. A fantastic thing. You and I both know why. They help you figure out how to hold the hammer right, how to tie a tie, they check out those creepy noises at night,"By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families." (The Family: A Proclamation to the World)

Mommy's hugs, just what the Doctor ordered

Happy Mother's Day Mothers!
 I'm fairly confident I speak for the entire population of the world when I say that we all love you, even if we don't show it twenty-four/seven like we oughta. You rock!
To my Mom, I just want to say that although this gift isn't exactly tangible, it's from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn't be the same guy if I didn't have Mommy's hugs, and this is my way of saying thanks. You've been my inspiration, guidance, and so much more.
Hey, all you people who aren't mothers, I gotta question for ya. Have you hugged your Mom today?

P.S. I hope you peoples don't mind. Because this was such a simple drawing, I decided to experiment. I think it makes it look nice, however, they won't all look like this in the future.
