Chunkymouth 2.1 Where the cool kids hang out.

Work in Progress

This is the start of a new project I’m working on. More to come.

Pencil drawing, inked and colored in Photoshop.

Chunkymouth 2.0?

A lot has happened since my last update here. Fear not. Chunkymouth has not ceased to be.

I’ve been concentrating on other areas of my life, and I’ve decided that I need to spend more time drawing. As a result, I’ve decided to use this space as a sketch blog. And I’m going to try to update it often. We shall see.

The art I post here isn’t meant to be good. It’s just practice. My posting it here is simply an incentive to myself to keep practicing. (And that worked out so well for my writing.)

Anyhoo… here’s my first new post. It’s a sketch I did this morning in Photoshop, using my Wacom tablet. I wouldn’t normally add color at this stage of the drawing, but I wanted my first post to be purty.

Today, Blogger. Tomorrow, the world.

Chris and I, the masterminds behind Haiku Movie Reviews, have done it again. We have a new blog, My List Is Better Than Your List. It’s certainly not the first top five list blog out there, but we hope to become one of the most entertaining. Check it out. And if you have any suggestions as to how we can make it better, please let us know. We live to serve.

No More Apologies

It’s been more than two months since my last post. I’ve been a busy guy. And I have been writing, just not here. I’m done apologizing for the lack of updates. I know the consequence of no updates is no readers. C’est la vie. No more feeling guilty about it.

On my other blog, Haiku Movie Reviews, we are still trying to iron out some problems with organization and presentation, but the content is there. We have approximately 450 reviews posted. Good times.

And there is more to come. We should be unveiling a new project very soon.

Hasta el later.

SNOW DAY!!!

That’s right! No work. No school. Sadly, however, there’s also no snow. Just ice. So we’re just going to hang out all day watching movies, playing games and baking cookies. Not a bad Thursday.

Fun with Words

My buddy Chris and I have been working on several projects together. One of them is ready for public consumption.

Emaline’s Christmas List

These are offered in order (to some extent) of most-talked-about items to least-talked-about ones. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if she REALLY wants something, or if she just watched a commercial for it and wants to discuss what she saw.

• Any of the Disney Princess toys (She’s especially fond of Cinderella and Ariel, the Little Mermaid)
• a Baby Annabell doll (This thing kinda creeps me out, but it’s not my list.)
• Any Groovy Girls dolls or accessories (She only has one doll, so I wouldn’t worry about duplicates.)
• Any Dora the Explorer toys (Or anything else, for that matter. Emaline would love a pipe wrench if it had Dora on it.)
• Doodle Monster
• Any age-appropriate My First LeapPad game cartridges
• Any age-appropriate picturebooks (This girl loves books. Even though she can’t read, she will sit down with a book and make up her own story based on the pictures. It’s very cute. Of course, EVERYTHING she does is cute.)

I will add her DVD list when I add Holden’s.

And for those of you who have been giving me grief over my lack of blog updates, these last two entries totally count.

Holden’s Christmas List

I’m adding links for a lot of these because it’s easier than trying to explain them.

Who are you people? Oh, yeah…

I’ve been so busy lately that I actually forgot I had a blog. No joke.
