Hockey!

Ugh, I started writing this blog about ten hours ago and then never got around to actually writing it.

I've been drawing a new kids book all day and it's left me pretty drained. Something about working this hard the day before Christmas Eve just doesn't seem quite right but, no matter what I think, there I was all day drawing away.


The new book I've been working on is about hockey so I pulled out my old trusty Joe Sakic figure to help me with some of the details of the gear. The helmets alone in hockey are so odd that it really helps to have a three dimensional image in front of me to draw from.

So, even if I did work the day away on a project, at least little Joe Sakic was there with me the whole way. Now I just need to scan all the pencils (I'll probably do this tomorrow...so much for taking Christmas Eve off) and then maybe, just maybe, I'll take a whole day off on Christmas without thinking about client work.

At least that's the plan. We'll see how it works out.
