I already decided that when I open my pub someday I'd hire the lot of you to come decorate.

Hmm...all lego furniture...I imagine there would be at least one chair rigged to explode, right?

I guess art stuff comes in handy when designing things, specially websites. I do illustrate uni magazine and also fascinate people by drawing them something casually. My sister had to design a flyer for her presentation, she said that knowing comic artists helped her.

I didn't realize that those were painted on at first, I thought they were cut-outs or something. Now I'm more jealous of your skills.

I used to do some painting and photography, but not so much either right now. I'm focusing mostly on motion work (writing, shooting, editing), and occasionally write short stories of a more questionable nature. I actually just finished a new stop motion piece.
Origami Butterfly

Congrats on the kid!

EDIT++++
I didn't realize a pic preview would be so big. Changed it to a text link

I do photography when I get a chance. Mostly for enterntainment value. One day hope to get semi-decent enough to have a show. Right now the hobby is on the backburn since my camera is pretty much dead from a unfortunate drop

To continue with the good vibes....

I'll make something new soon, I swear.

Cool room...cute, but stylish as well! Good for the kiddies but visually appealing for the adults.

As for what I do outside of the comic...well aside from sketching and doodling of course, I've done some painting. Not particularly good painting...I'm a pro at filling paintings with weird clashing colour combinations.

Awesome work! (Same goes to you, Noisemonkey!)

I do film, but I don't have many examples posted online yet. Soon, though.

Noise Monkey · Post by **Noise Monkey** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:51 am

Sean, Duff, Princess...nice!

And thanks for all the praise. I can't take full credit, though. My wife (though she is pregnant) did a lot of the work, and the animal designs are intended to match the room set we bought for him.

Yay! Themed rooms! We're working on one for my son, who is four. It's not finished yet, but I guess I could post the in-progress pics.

It's Spongebob themed.

The door to his room - That's not a mirror...

It's a porthole!

And when you walk in the walls are covered in jellyfish!

And he has the coolest bed. We inherited it from my younger brother.

And made a few modifications...

Stinky drew everything in the room, and I painted it. Next we move on to the plants:

Brilliant! I love the porthole! Really nice touch. The jelly fish, yeah, they rock!

Nanda · Post by **Nanda** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 7:34 am

Thanks! My husband did all the build aspects of the room - assembled the bed, attatched the steering wheel (which turns, of course) and the porthole. He also did all the prep work, like stripping off the old wallpaper and filling in the holes and such. Stinky and I shouldn't get all the credit.

That's awesome room, Nanda!
