Plush!

You might have seen this if you were going through our million wedding photos (and why wouldn’t you!) but I never properly mentioned it! As a wedding present our friend, the talented Michele Chidester, made me this soft sculpture/stuffed version of one of my monster sketches!

Awesome, no? He’s sort of a companion to the “Rat Seller” she made for Eleanor a while ago, and now they hang out together on the futon.

I’ll be bringing him up to Heroes Con with me, so keep your eye out!

33 Beasties

on June 16, 2009
I’ve been making a little mini collecting all of the monster sketches I’ve posted up in the last couple months! It’s called 33 Beasties, and here’s the cover:

I’ll have it at Heroes Con, coming up this weekend in Charlotte, NC. I’ll be somewhere in the “Indie Island” section, so stop by and say hi. If you want the mini but can’t make it to the con, I’ve been working on revamping and relaunching the Little House site – it’ll go up for sale there… as soon as I get it done!

I was reading some sort of “how to draw” book a couple weeks ago that asserted that left-handed artists tend to depict their characters facing to the left, and right-handers to the right. While assembling this mini, I’ve realized it’s totally true! At least in my case.

Set to Sea redux

on June 15, 2009

Set to Sea begins anew, and twice weekly. Bear with me, it’ll all work out in the end.

My condolences to the friends and family of Jeremy “Sweetwater” Mullins, a SCAD sequential prof who was much beloved by his students.

Something I drew at Wednesday drawing night:

Eleanor pointed out that if you look at this picture upside-down, it looks like a doleful bearded guy wearing a bizarre fez! I almost like that version better.

I’ve been scanning all of the kids’ final projects from our “Comic Books and Manga” class for a big anthology. I keep forgetting how much time it takes to put together a book of any size at all. I think maybe some of the pages are going to be posted on UGA’s website, if you’re curious, I’ll post a link when they go up.

A couple people pointed out that the RSS feed for drewweing.com wasn’t working; I think it’s fixed now. Let me know if you’re having trouble.
