04.10.15: and there you have it... One final ripoff. This time there is no if or buts about it! A direct swipe of the grandmaster <i>Norman Rockwell.</i> If you are an artist and you don't know who his is, <i>stop calling yourself an artist!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i> </i>I can't actually believe I made it. Gonna try to not get to carried away here, but it is kind of a big deal for me. A lot has changed over the last 642 days, we've gone on a few vacations, a few family visits at the house, house-extension been completed, new job started, one wedding attended, my daughter (the <i>Boss)</i> starting school<i>, </i>not to mention my son being born. And somehow I got a drawing/sketch done everyday (my wife will gladly tell you have she was in the birthing ward having contractions and I was over in the corner drawing...<i>slight</i> exaggeration of the truth but not only slight...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And was it worth it? Well, when I started, I was not drawing at all and I hardly had any creative ideas. Since starting I have joined a local "support group" of cartoonists, have had two four-page stories published, another in the pipeline and one I've lettered at the printers as we speak. If you flip through the book (or the blog) you'll find several <a href="http://642ttd.blogspot.ie/2015/09/day-626-convertible.html" target="_blank">new characters</a> for my comic, <i><a href="http://642ttd.blogspot.ie/2015/09/day-628-mummy.html" target="_blank">Jon Pay</a></i>, and I've actually finished one story-outline and started the collaboration of another script. Some sleepless nights, but considering we've had a baby in the house, that was gonna happen anyway. So <b>yes</b>, it was worth it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I just want to finish off by saying thank you to everybody who've support, encouraged and followed me. There were night I just wanted to throw the book in the bin and go to bed. Without you guys I probably would have. So thank you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A final small fact that I just like to share. The day I started I actually didn't have any pencils to draw with, so I searched my late father-in-laws study (which has now actually been converted to my studio) and found a few old pencils. One of them specifically caught my eye. It was one he had used (evident by bite-marks) but a long time ago caused the lead had actually hardened. I have since gone through I don't know how many pencils, but this one never seemed to get to small to use. </div>

Most of my rough sketches have been drawn with this pencil, including the last one. It just became part of it and it made it a little special for me.<br />

A last <i style="font-weight: bold;">big</i> thank you to my wife (who has featured several times through out the book.) She didn't always understand, and despite not <i>always</i> wanting to, <i style="font-weight: bold;">never stopped supporting </i>me. Kind of funny that I finished on our seven years anniversary?!?

I suggest you view the 3 minute video first and I will explain there after. You agree? Good. Lets go to video...<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ys4i1uggtDw/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ys4i1uggtDw?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
<br>
For those of you who did not check in yesterday, I asked for suggestions for what to draw today as I was a day short. (NOT my fault!! I triple check! No missed pages...) As a result I had several suggestion (one here in the blog and a few more on FB). Not wanting to leave anyone out, I came up with the this which somehow incorporated all the ideas. And as I did not have a page to actually draw on, I did a time-lapse while sketching on the iPad. A little different but I am quite happy with the result.<br>
<br>
So a special thank you to <i>Dave, Patti, Frank, Angela and Siobhain</i> for your suggestions. I hope you like the result.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow will be the last posting on this blog and I will shed all my tears then. For now, again, I hope you like my little video that reveals ALL my secrets... And hopefully see you back here tomorrow for <b>Day 642</b>!!<br>
<br>
Oh, and here's the day 641: your suggestions!<br>
