2007: APRIL - JUNE


Another mural project that would soon become infamous in my comic book.
The second quarter of the year saw me spread out all over the place: working on a reality TV show, drawing more, painting more, and continuing to refine the story behind the comic book.  I also stepped outside the Texas state lines in the frozen streets of St. Louis, and watched with joy as summer was postponed on a daily basis with constant rains pouring down.  
 
APRIL
I finally escaped Texas and watched some college hockey with my dad in St. Louis.  I saw some great art and the mind blowing Bowling Hall of Fame.  I returned to Austin just in time to be last minute to work on a horrible reality TV show.  With my schedule chock full of work, I started to draw more and paint less.
 
MAY
In May I started to focus my figure drawing at Dr. Sketchy's, and inadvertently set up my friend David Ohlerking with the striped sock splendor of the Spank Dance Girls.  With a couple of art shows coming up, I broke out the paints and concentrated my efforts on producing ten new canvases.
 
JUNE
With an amazing show of drawings by my studiomate Meg Stone setting the bar really high, I continued to paint for my own show in July, and officially finished the story behind my comic book.  I dug my heels in and started the storyboards, not knowing just how much work I had gotten myself into.

MARCH
I spent a week in Kerrville as the token white guy painting a mural with my great friends Marty and Charles.  Between hard days of work and late nights laughing, it was one of the best weeks of the year.  I came back in town to catch the entire SXSW debacle and kept finding more fodder for my comic book.
