a cold Friday...

by Mike Worley

Today has been very cold and blah. And it's been tough to get motivated. I've been writing some stuff, mostly a webstrip I have in the works. The focus is getting better, although the main character is an "everyman" in most senses. I did, however, give him a "challenge," one that fathers have struggled with through history...a teenaged daughter. Since the main character is a man in his fifties, I've given him, and his wife, the proverbial "ooops" baby...the one that comes along AFTER the decision has been made to stop spawning. Couple that with her being a bit of a "wild child," and hilarity and hijinx ensue(sheesh! did that sound trite!) Anyway, here's a sketch of her...


I started this sketch at Cripple Con a few weekends ago, but didn't finish it there. I based it on my old boss, Len Hernandez, even though it isn't really a caricature of him. Since today just wasn't coming together, I really just threw up my hands and chucked most of what I had planned. One bit of good news is that I'm severely Vitamin D deficient. Why that is good news is that at least I know, and can begin taking some pills to help rectify the problem. I think it is supposed to help with depression, too.

It's been a while since I just "played" in my sketchbook. Just drew for the fun of it. Haven't really done that in a long while, and it felt good. While it may not be one of my better efforts, I like that I'm not trying to impress anyone with it. It is what it is with all the meanderings of pencil and markers. Len, if you want the thing I'll send it too you. If not, no harm or foul.
