Life just keeps on running, I suppose. Between research at Wash U and football, I don’t have a ton of time on my hands. What time I do have is split between my friends, reading, and small art projects. (Though I AM drawing this summer, which is a good start, no?)

Some color studies because I suck at color theory.

Man. I feel old. Which means that I’ve been drawing for almost twenty years, though it’s hard to know when exactly I started. I have sketchbook from before I knew how to read or write. So maybe 18-years of drawing? Wow.

I haven’t been slacking off on the artstuff this semester. I have more sketches! Yesss!

If you haven’t read Aido/Ananth’s “Callie Eats Feathers” you should.

Something I found out yesterday when I was clothes shopping: No one told me that I look like a dude from behind. What the heck.

Anyhow, happy Super Bowl!

And a total overhaul of the website! http://brokenshard.net/index.php/updates/finally-new-pictures-new-comic-and-a-total-overhaul-of-the-website http://brokenshard.net/index.php/updates/finally-new-pictures-new-comic-and-a-total-overhaul-of-the-website#comments Sun, 24 Jan 2010 07:09:34 +0000 Kendall http://brokenshard.net/?p=366 Not only did I upload half a year’s worth of sketches (an embarrassingly small amount), but I started a new webcomic and completely revamped the site. There are a few tweaks left to do, so please be patient as everything is reconfigured.

Hopefully the new BS comic won’t be a short-lived inspiration. The comic is based off my life and friends, a topic of which I hope is interesting, for your and my sake. I think I’ve worked out a good style for the comic–something very fitting for me. Loose and sketchy, everything freehand (no straight edges anywhere!).

I got another 72 set of Copic Markers. Brand new for only $250. That’s less than four bucks a marker! What. Now. They had a spin the wheel thing at Dick Blick, and the counter lady let me spin it until I got 40% off (plus two t-shirts from previous spins). So now I have Set A and Set C for the 72 Sketch sets, along with 13 or so markers I picked up individually.

In other news my laptop’s graphics card died, which is going to be an expensive repair. :(
