TODAY, CREATE.
September 23rd, 2006
When I was young, I would draw all the time. My two favorite things to draw were Optimus Prime and Voltron. Seeing as how I drew Optimus Prime quite a bit a couple years ago during Halloween, I thought I’d reach back to Voltron and draw him again after all these years.
I’m starting over again. Reaching back to what’s familiar — to the things that used to compel me to create. I hope that learning how to be obsessed with the process once again will yield new directions and new focus. Here’s to day one.

Ha, let Guntron introduce Voltron to it’s maker:

I’d say from about 3rd grade to my sophomore year of high school I drew waves with bitch’n tubes… then I started drawing robots and monsters and naked girls. Maybe I should try my hand at those again.
Hows reliving old vices been working for your creativity?

Naked girls is always a sure-fire winner. Beyond drawing Voltron specifically, I think that it awakened my love of drawing. I think I’ve got some projects ahead of me in the future that involve my hands actually touching real media again.
Note: that drawing of Voltron is an illusion. It’s all Wacom magic in Photoshop with some Darken blend-mode action on someone else’s scan of paper.
