Jerry's Day at Ronald McDonald House Charities

I illustrated a kid's book for the Twin Cities Ronald McDonald House's annual financial report awhile ago. It was about the dog they had in the house, Jerry, and his buddy Jacob, a kid with leukemia. The final printed book has a Photoshop filter put over all my drawings (my inner nerd says it's Cutout.) Here's some unedited ones:

I strongly disagree with your opinion

The New Red Moons

Another poster for my buddy Joe's band, the New Red Moons.

The End

After some deliberation, I've decided to end the daily drawing exercise. I've been working on a couple of bigger projects, and I'll be changing the blog a little more to show the process and evolution of those, rather than a having a big picture salad (although I'll be dropping in with sketches often.)

There should be lots of Nerve stuff coming up in the immediate future.

The Six-Million-Year-Man

Jack Kirby is more awesome than I previously thought.

The Black Panther

and the Brass Frog...which ended up being a one-way time machine.

ANOTHER WORLD

Lester.

ANOTHER WORLD

Buddy.

Gone fishin'

Beatings will continue until morale improves

ONE YEAR

Well, damn.

I checked the calender and realized that it's the 20th of May: a year ago to the day I started updating this blog on the regular. Twice heartbroken, in a state of professional and artistic inertia, and treading financial water, I figured that if I AT LEAST drew something every day and posted it, I'd have some discipline and structure and maybe I'd learn something.

One year later, things are literally and figuratively sunnier. Thanks to all my friends who's been with me since the beginning, you guys are all awesome. Thanks mom and dad for all the love and support.

Here's hoping next year keeps looking up!

Cheers!
