FORTS BOOK THREE COVER

Been a while since I've had time to put anything up in the old blog - too long.

Anyway, today the streak ends!

WORK FINISHED - Forts 2 Cover

Here's the finished illustration featuring some of the characters from "Forts Book 2: Liars and Thieves." I like how this one came out. In fact, I liked it so much that I've already gotten started on the illustration for the third.

Am I getting WAY ahead of myself?

Without a doubt.

It's what I do best.

WORK IN PROGRESS - Forts 2 Cover Sketch

Having finished up editing on "Forts," I've started the query process, as well as getting to work on the sequel. (Which I'll write even if I can't get it published.)

I've also sketched out a little something featuring the more prominent characters from the second book.

If you're interested, here's a link to the first book: FORTS BOOK 1: FATHERS AND SONS

Forts Spot Illustrations

Here are a few interior illustrations from chapters in the book "Forts" that I'm currently working on. Nothing amazing, just simple black and white drawings to go over the chapter titles. I'll put up a few more in the coming weeks.

Pretty Decent Guy = Me

I'm a pretty decent guy. I've got my faults of course; I'm sort of boring, kind of shy, sometimes I don't shower into well after one in the afternoon, but overall I like to think that the pros heavily outweigh the cons when it comes to your friendly neighborhood Steven. I'm sort of funny sometimes, there are a few people out there worse looking than me, I'm patient, understanding, and if you can manage to get past the Alcatraz-like that I tend wall that I put up, I'm a pretty good friend as well.

That's right, go me! NERD HIGH FIVE!

It's because of one of these good things that I agreed to take five or six hours out of my day last Saturday and put together the six logos above for my wife. The kids in her class at school came up with table names (some of them pretty creative) and she asked me if I would make a logo for each table.

I of course pretended like it was going to be a pain in the rear end of the highest order...you know...to make her more appreciative of the efforts, but in all honesty it was kind of fun. There were some pretty creative names in there, that sparked a lot of ideas, so I can't complain all that much.

Some of them actually came out looking pretty good.

That's right, go me! NERD HIGH FIVE AGAIN!

(I really should stop with the nerd high five thing...I'm starting to look like a nerd).

Grumpy's Logo

Just recently finished up this logo for a company. Overall, I think it came out looking pretty good, and I thought I'd share.

No real news to report beyond that. A lot of the same really.

Work, sleep, wife, work, sleep, wife, work, sleep, wife, etc.

It's painfully boring being me.

WORK FINISHED - Forts Cover 2

Finished!

Finally!

I have no doubt that if you were in the room with me, you would give me a congratulatory high five, would you not?

Steve!
