Day 302: a chimney


30.10.14: another one of these "how can you draw one without the other", you know, like a peg leg without a pirate, pom-poms without a cheerleader, a rainbow without a pot of gold and a leprechaun, Empire State Building without King Kong or a butterfly without its ridire... These things just go together!!!

     Congratulations to all the writers, artists and editors for a very successful launch of the first issue of The Cork Horror Comic!!

Day 301: an eyeball


28.10.14: "What do you mean I have to keep going after day 300?!?!?!"

Day 300: a caribou


27.10: Sven and I are amazed that I have reached day 300!! Yes, caribou is an American reindeer and Sven is supposably a Norwegian reindeer... You know, tomeito-tomato...

     Wow, three hundred!!! I think I missed those hundred. Still I am amazed at having reach this far. Some of these I am not very happy with, some of them I am. My cousin started something on day 100 and he continued on day 200; he listed his favorite top five. I would love to hear your top five or even which one is the most memorable to you. 

     My top five of the last hundred are (in no particular order):
Day 280: spilled milk - I just think Jr is so cute in it!
Day 226: a balloon animal - same reason!!
Day 209: cause now it's true...
Day 218: because I didn't think I could pull it off in b/a and I was very happy with the putcome. 
Day 237: a spoon - because it is a continuation of day 95 and I just like day 95. 

     Three weeks to the halfway mark. 

     Thank you one and all, for show and support. As always, please let me know what you think and see you around for the next three hundred.

Day 299: scrambled egg


26.10.14: in a desperate attempt to NOT draw scrambled eggs, I learned that the term also refers to the typically leaf-shaped embellishments found on the visors of peaked caps worn by military officers, specifically naval ones...(Jon Pay © and ™ 2014)

Day 298: the Leaning Tower of pizza...eh...Pisa


25.10.14: old joke but this one is with some personel details. People who get will get it and I actually miss them as much as you do. For the rest of you, sorry, Charlie's Pizza is closed for business for ever.

Day 297: a laser


24.10.14: it had to be a Star Wars rederence. Amazingly my first one so far and I also want with a character that very few people know about. 

     Aayla Secura was created by Jan Duursema and John Ostrander for the Star Wars comic. When George Lucas saw the character he decided to  make her a character in the new trilogy. Very few characters has made this transition, making her a unique character in more ways than one. (I hope I get corrected if any of these facts are wrong...) As I have had the pleasure to know Jan and she was actually kind enough to try me out as an inker once upon a time (the closest I have ever gotten to have anything  to do with Star Wars), day 297 goes out to her. 

     I will also point out that the issue whether or not a lightsaber is a laser, sparked a bit of a discussion between me and some fellow geeks. I decided that it is!! Say I'm wrong!! Come on, say it!!! I dare you!!
