More theses less feces

Posted in Life by darren on the October 31st, 2006

Instead of flaming paper bags of feces on peoples doorsteps, how about theses nailed to peoples doors? Good idea?

Found some more ideas here:

Make a “Diet of Worms Cake” and bring it to your office or school
Have a “Baptismal Apple Dunk”
Run a “Law and Gospel Shuffle Relay”
Create a “Fishers of Men” Fishing Pond
Do a “Defeat the Devil Ball Toss”
Play “Pin the 95 Theses on the Wittenberg Door”
Run a “Throw Indulgences in the Trash” relay

What about going door to door asking for candy…I like that idea. Happy Reformation Day & Halloween!

Mom’s 60th

Posted in Life by darren on the October 26th, 2006

I had meant to blog a ‘Happy Birthday’ to my mom but completely forgot. Last weekend we went down up to the Okanagan to for a suprise party for this, her 60th year, and it was a lot of fun. Thanks sister and brother-in-law for organizing such a great bash-Gotta get those pics up on Flickr. Mom’s sister from Grand Prarie even made it…Thats like many, many hours away…many hours.

Aunt Sharron emailed out a pic with mom looking kinda silly for everyone to add a caption to. This was my contribution:

Blog Attack 2

Posted in Doodling by darren on the October 26th, 2006

So work on my ‘Blog Attack’ piece continues. I had a notion that my original pose wasn’t a very strong at one point and decided to try another route. Actually I generally find I’ve had the best results sticking with my original inclinations but thought I’d see where my new idea took me.

Here I’ve got some ref for the look I kinda want to head toward and I’m rouging in a face over a pose that I hadn’t got right yet. This is a big mistake. It’s really jumping ahead too far and I should’ve made sure the pose was strong before moving on. At any rate I liked the look at this point.

Graphic Design vs Illustration

Posted in Updates by darren on the October 23rd, 2006

Found an interesting article over at the Design Observer. As I was reading it I wasn’t sure I agreed with the premise but would’ve gone along with it (because who’s lil’ ol’ me to say).  But as it turns out, evidenced by the comments, I wasn’t the only one.
