Model Fiesta

I have to say that I love scale modeling. I picked it up around the age of 8 with just glue, styrene, and a brush. As a child in a larger family, I couldn't really afford the good stuff to make them look great and the hobby left me in highschool. It wasn't until just a few years ago that I made enough income to support myself and do it right.

Case in point, my F-14A Jolly Roger



Last Saturday, I competed for the first time in a model show. I figured it would be a good experience to keep my creative skills fresh and competitive. After attending a show last year, I promised to get something in. Now I've noticed how the average age of a scale modeler hovers around a 55 year old retired military description who has most likely built models for decades.  They are DAMN good too. I didn't think I stood any chance but I still gave it a try.


Boy, I was wrong. I think I'll go for broke next year. :D

A Babs doodle! I have jury duty tomorrow so it will give me some time to do some much needed sketching.

Every summer, I participate in the annual Sharkweek art jams on Deviant art. Here's a sampling of 2012.

Welcome!

Here's what I hope to be a collection of various doodles, projects and anything I do with my hands. First of all, let me tell you I work under a communications department doing everything from print media to video. I hope to show you everything in between in the meantime. Let's begin shall we?

Gizmoduck! I grew up during the airing of Ducktales and I can't tell you why I took to loving this guy.  Perhaps it was the fact that he had a living skunk as part of his arsenal.  It never dawned on me to actually draw the guy.
