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.

Story time, kids.

Here's another introduction to a lesser known. Because, why stop at one, am I right?
This is Rick, another Creecher who you saw the first time when the background was changed.  However, Rick has a bit more of a history to him, in more ways than one. He was first conceived long before the background was even an idea, as part of a Social studies project. Rick represented individualism, and demonstrated how it benefited the common good.
Rick is still just as cool as when he first escaped the tip of the pencil, being one of few who can overlook the impracticality of wearing sunglasses, but he doesn't let it go to his head. In fact, anyone'll tell you, he's anything but exclusive, and takes time to help out whenever he can.

All 'Creecher's' of our God and King....

(Re)Introducing Bethany, the one Creecher who didn't appear in a work previous to her conception in the background you're staring at. I figured she deserved an official introduction, because you guys have never seen her before.
Beth is the sweetest, the kindest, the most loving Creecher up to this point. She sees beauty and kindness in everything. This is probably why she's so easy to get along with. As you can see, not even natural enemies can be contentious around her sweet persona. She is truly a wonder.

Hold on, the light will come

I've always found comfort in the music from Micheal Mclean, ever since I was little. Recently, I've tried a couple times now to do something inspirational inspired from one of his songs which I grew up with, and I liked this drawing, So with a bit of work, it's finally good enough looking. So without further adieu, this drawing was inspired by this song, take a listen and see if I matched the mood.

Yeah, I changed the look of the blog. Nothing major, it's just a little more personalized, with a 'Brady-bunch'-esque drawing filling up the background, similar to this one:

All of the characters you see before you have made previous appearances in my drawings. Excluding one..... and a half. Not all have previously appeared on my Blog though, but this is to change that.  

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)
