for a lunch break jam at wurk

while Ive been laid up and recovering

just some doodles fromt he last couple days.. there are a ton more but these are the ones I like... and that dont seem too drug induced LOL

what happened .. where did he go

I know I was gonna post as close to daily as possible and here I am just a few weeks into the new year and it seems as if I have fallen off... well here's the scoop... Just a couple days ago I was sitting at home having dinner and after dinner my stomach started to hurt.... Great I dont feel good probably have food poisoning or something... I woke up the next morning ( after convincing myself I was just gassy ) to having horrible pain in my right lower abdomen, which led me to believe that I SHOULD see a doctor .. well after 5 hours at the doctors offices and a CT scan ( for the CT scan they make you drink this intolerable stuff then inject you with iodine then take pictures of your insides... I NEVER wanna have to do that again.. ) it turns out I have APPENDICITIS Yeah!.. so they send me to the hospital... where THEY tell me I have to have surgery... so in the course of about 8 - 10 hours I went from ouch my stomach hurts to "Mr. Corn you require surgery" Sooooo like an hour later Im in one of those backless hospital gowns drugged up with lots of crazy stuff and the anestisiologist is telling me to count back from 10 .. I think I made it to 7 .. I cant remember .. then I recall waking up and being told it was inly 45 minutes ago I went under.. I had no clue.. scarrrry. anyhow.. I was in the hospital overnight and the next day the doctor told me I did really well and he was happy with the rate of my recovery and if I could keep solids down without throwing up he was ok with me going home.. the nurse was like well that rarely happens so lets wait and see .. anyhow... by 430 I was coming home and here I am today recovering on the couch and seriously hoping my hospital bill isnt atrocious. I'll post some new work soon.. though it may be weird stuff, they gave me some pain relievers that mess with my vision and head quite a bit .. so :) anyhow.. thats whats goin on.. talk to everyone again soon... Take care

Sketch Crawl in Glendale at the Americana

Got there late but managed to get a couple people in... wish I had been there earlier and had brought better paper.. oh well.. these are the sketches I think were successful..

For the new year

Im hoping to seriously post a lot more... I took the holidays to reset and see family and haven't drawn a single thing.. that will all change tonight Im sure as Im looking forward to breaking in some of this laser paper :) so here are my resolutions

1. MORE GIRLS... lots more girl drawings this year.. I really want to get to drawing beautiful girlie drawings .. Ive lately been inspired by Kiraz, Glines, Dan DeCarlo, Justin Coffee, Don Flowers, and numerous other artists ( my finace included )

2. More complete pieces... I have to get down on some layout.. and Im excited about this for once.

3. Meet more artists and make more good art friends ( I have a ton but I really enjoy getting to know the art community :) )

4. Get into at least 5 shows .. I am in one in feb I believe it is , that means I have to get into 4 more! ;)

5. Post much more frequently.... and I will.

Hope everyone had a great holiday season and a Happy and safe new Year

Much Love,
Shane
