151 hours and How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way July 27, 2009

When I was 12 I saved up my money for a book first published in 1978, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way.

96 Hours and a Nice Beach Weekend July 13, 2009

Mari is amazing! July 7, 2009

I wanted to share with you a portrait that my friend Mari is working on. Mari is a teacher/student at Mims Studios and has given me several wonderful critiques. I hope to get many more when I make it back to school.

So many ideas about what I’ve learned so far come to mind. But mostly I just find this portrait inspiring.

Check it out.
This is her blog.
