The book is a Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler-inspired murder mystery set in Heaven. Imagine central casting for a 1930s detective novel juxtaposed with all the strange and terrifying members of the heavenly choir: Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Virtues, Seraphim, Cherubim… Swell dames and femmes fatales, dirty priests and the Voice of God.Ian Tregillis describes his new novel, “Something More Than Night”, that will come out after the conclusion of his Milkweed series. Sounds phenomenal.

Here’s an idea I’m just going to throw out there, considering it’s 2012. If you can draw and you have the equivalent brainpower of a creative six year old, try making up your own characters. Then draw them doing interesting things. Post those stories online, develop an audience and charge $75 to sketch your own characters at cons.
Scott Kurtz may be a jerk from time to time, but he’s a very SMART jerk. And as far as this particular situation is concerned, he’s absolutely right.

You get a bunch of random doodles for this week’s creative project. That’s all I got.
Sorry, it was a busy week.

Love these guys, and I’m glad they’re getting the recognition they deserve.
(I also love Juice, but I’m soon to be aging out of their demographic, so I guess I’m not contractually obligated to like them for much longer)

Esmerelda by T-Bird and the Breaks
This song just popped up on my Pandora trombone jazz station and I was extremely happy it did.
Good, funky mood enhancer.

Today while the super sportsball competition was going on, I was asking friends on Facebook to give me things to sketch. So I drew these. I am not ashamed.
Okay, maybe a little ashamed of the Madonna one. But not enough to not post it.

“The Endermen”, a Minecraft poem
Lest anyone think that this is nothing more than an art blog, for my week five creative project, I’m submitting this little poem, based on the 1.8 update to Minecraft, which introduced us all to the terrifying Endermen. I had started writing it then, while on a plane on one of the many overseas business trips I took in 2011. Since I’ve hardly been able to squeeze in any drawing time this week, I just finished up the last few stanzas the other day so I could present it here, to you, below the fold.
Next week, likely back to more drawings.
The Endermen are watching and waiting.
The Endermen see all that you do.
The Endermen are horrid and hating.
The Endermen are coming for you.
The Endermen are throwing and shaking.
The Endermen are wicked and cruel.
The Endermen are flailing and quaking.
The Endermen are coming for you.
They are lifting and hauling, denying what’s true.
They are scraping and mauling, and nothing you do.
Can stay their thirsting, hungering queue.
The Endermen, they are coming for you.
They are building and stacking, destroying what’s new.
They are breaking and cracking, preparing for you.
Preparing a feast for their Endermen stew.
The Endermen, they are coming for you.
The Endermen, they are coming for you.

I’ve decided that this will be my week four creative project, instead of the previous drawing I was working on that I had posted earlier on the week. I just really like how the dragon turned out, even as my very first foray into using crosshatching for shading. The other one might end up completed as my week five project. Or it might not! Who knows.
In any case, I really like drawing. Four weeks down, 48 to go!
