My first born is now on holidays... i think.
Ryan appears to have fnished school. I say appears because these last two weeks of his term seems to be the most mixed up pseudo school days I have ever known. Year seven was not required at school for various reasons for three days last week and two days this week although he officially doesn't finish the school year til the 18th. plus he accommpanied Wayne to Val's funeral on Wednesday which is a four hour drive away. Ryan is moaning about having to attend the school assembly on the 18th. I can't blame him... four hours of listening to awards being handed out and the school officials droning on would be enough to turn me catatonic. I told him to consider it practice for future staff meetings when he's in the work force.
He's off today so we went down the art shop to spend the $100 voucher I got for last Christmas that was about to expire. I loaded up with inking pens, paper, 2.0 ml mech pencil plus red lead for sketches plus I replaced my favourite mech. rubber which has graduated to the status of dog chew toy curtesy of Ember. Ryan bought himself some items plus a bunch of art gear for his *girl friend's* christmas prezzie as she is keen on drawing character art as he is making animations. (She's a good kid, fan of my comic --> good taste too. lol.) Wayne and I are thinking of buying a wacom bamboo tablet for Ryan for Christmas as he spends so much time drawing on the puter and I'm too protective of my own tablet to allow him to use it. The bamboo's a lot smaller screen but he doesn't draw the big pics I work on... his area is pixel art and flash/ powerpoint animations.
I've finished all the art for the calendar. YAY! the cover will be a old fav of mine with a redone background effect. Last thing to finish. I'm hoping to start uploading it tonight. i won't be able to advertise it on my website until saturday as I need Wayne to insert the neccessary code onto my page to do so. For the moment I'm going to finish pencilling the next scene between Terinu and the Gene Mage before getting the blues done. Only three pages to go... should get most of it done before I have to pick the two littlest ones from school. I'll work on inking tomorrows update tonight... looking forward to posting this next page as it's a really devious little teaser which was a lot of fun to draw.
