LINCOLN — Track speed is far from all you need to play college football. But it sure helps get your cleat in the door. Height does, too. So it is with one of the top 2014 in-state prospects, Papillion-La Vista's Kenzo Cotton.
Cotton's only played football for two years, but his 6-foot-2 frame and blazing track times (21.30 seconds in the 200 meters and 10.4 seconds in the 100) have earned him offers from Ohio and Kansas State.
And if he can show he's fully healed from a hip injury that slowed him during the 2012 football season, several more could be on the way. Papio football coach Jeff Govier — who's an assistant on the track team and helped Cotton transition to football as a sophomore — expects that to be the case.
Cotton had surgery after the football season — which he chose to play despite being hampered — and won the 100-meter race at the KU Relays in 10.69 seconds with relative ease last weekend.
"For Kenzo to be running what he's running already is great," Govier said. "We've been pretty smart in trying to bring him back."
For now, Govier said, football coaches are more aggressively recruiting Cotton than track coaches, although Cotton has had a standing track scholarship offer from NU for some time. A Wisconsin football coach visited the school last week. Stanford called Wednesday.
Nebraska — where Kenzo's dad, Curtis Cotton played defensive back in the late 1980s and early 1990s — wants Kenzo to work out at NU's one-day camp this summer before offering, Govier said.
"I think they want to see that he's committed to come down for a day," Govier said. Cotton has said he wants to do both sports in college, but the hip injury made for average junior film.
Kansas State, Govier said, is already willing to work with Cotton's dual interests. The Wildcat staff has crafted a "50/50 schedule," Govier said, that has Cotton playing football through the bowl game, then being allowed to concentrate on track for the entire second semester, which captures most of the indoor season and outdoor season.
That's the kind of deal Nebraska used to help lure Bubba Starling back in 2011. Unlike Starling, Cotton's not likely to turn pro in track without four years of collegiate training.
The Wildcats, Govier said, see Cotton as a "lockdown corner." So does Govier, who'd also like to feature Cotton on offense in 2013.
"Anywhere he can get the ball in space," Govier said. With All-Nebraska Alec Ditoro throwing the ball, Cotton should get plenty of opportunities.
What of Ditoro? Govier said he'll be attending an Elite 11 camp in Chicago soon and schools like North Dakota State are taking a long look, too. The 2014 prospect is indisputably accurate, but he's also 6-foot; that height will make some FBS teams pause. But it only takes one team to pull the trigger with an offer, and Ditoro's making the camp trips to get the exposure.
That's smart. Because a state-record 3,112 yards passing won't always quite do what the right camp appearance will.
We'll continue to feature local prospects in future recruiting updates.
NU hunting for tackles
Now that he's the lead offensive line coach for Nebraska, John Garrison has been busy trying to track down more tackle prospects. It's the No. 2 need behind defensive back for NU's 2014 class because seniors Jeremiah Sirles, Brent Qvale and Andrew Rodriguez leave the program after 2013.
The Huskers have four untested scholarship players behind that top trio. Sophomore Zach Sterup and early enrollee freshman David Knevel are the only two on campus. The other two — junior college transfer Matt Finnin and freshman Dwayne Johnson — arrive this summer.
And one of the top tackle prospects in the country resides inside Nebraska's recruiting backyard — 200 miles away in Olathe (Kan.). Six-foot-six, 290-pound Braden Smith has been on NU's radar for more than a year after attending the 2012 junior day.
The four/five-star prospect — rated as the No. 2 tackle by Rivals and Scout and the top guard by 247Sports — has also been on the radar of Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State and USC, among others. Arkansas, with new head coach Bret Bielema, will put on a hard push, too.
I'd compare Smith to Baker Steinkuhler, when Steinkuhler was a five-star prospect out of Lincoln Southwest. Long. Tough. Good instincts.
Two key differences: Smith's dad didn't play at NU. And Smith doesn't live in Lincoln.
Nebraska has made some progress in locking down the 500-mile radius — the stated, official goal to lock down that area predates the Pelini era and goes back to the Bill Callahan regime — but the other top, four-star tackles in the Midwest, Ross Pierschbacher Cedar Falls, Iowa) and Andy Bauer (St. Louis) have committed to Iowa and Ole Miss, respectively. A third, Chicago's Jamarco Jones, doesn't appear to have the Huskers on his radar, according to recruiting updates.
Smith will be the toughest pull of the four for Garrison, whose upbeat, confident style does well on the recruiting trail. Remember, NU beat Alabama for Knevel, Ohio State for Finnin and Arkansas for Johnson. There's mojo here.
Here are other notable tackles Nebraska has offered or shown interest in. This list will shrink with commits and grow with new offers like few other positions in recruiting. A lot of teams hunt for offensive tackles early and late in the game:
Dontavius Blair, 6-foot-8/295 pounds, Garden City (Kan.) Community College: The top junior college offensive tackle prospect, Blair has a bevy of offers — Nebraska, Florida State, USC, Georgia and Oklahoma. He's an Alabama native, so if Auburn or the Crimson Tide come calling, case likely closed. But NU has a strong track record under Pelini of getting juco players to the NFL.
Chad Mavety, 6-6/320, Nassau (Long Island, N.Y.) Community College: Here's the No. 2 offensive tackle prospect in junior college. Alabama has offered, as have Ohio State, Michigan State and others. Mavety has more upside than Blair, more raw talent.
Jovan Pruitt, 6-6/290, Dallas (Bishop Dunne): The three-star told Husker Online that Nebraska OC Tim Beck had offered, but his top three remained Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas Tech.
Brian Wallace, 6-6/297, St. Louis (Christian Brothers): Iowa's hot on his trail. Wallace visited the Hawkeyes April 20. At a recent camp in St. Louis, Wallace told Rivals that NU, Missouri and the Hawkeyes were his top three.
Commit lists growing
Around the Big Ten and nation:
>> Michigan State got a defensive tackle commit from Chicago's Enoch Smith Jr., who had offers from Notre Dame, Tennessee, Arizona and Illinois, among others. Nebraska had not offered the 6-foot-2, 270-pounder.
>> Four-star corner/wide receiver DeAndre Tompkins spurned strong ACC offers (Clemson, North Carolina, Notre Dame) for Penn State, committing to the Nittany Lions at the Blue/White game. The 6-foot, 170-pounder is a player Bill O'Brien could use in a variety of spots. Tuesday, PSU got a commit from four-star wide receiver Chris Godwin. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder picked the Nittany Lions over Ohio State, Virginia Tech, South Carolina and Stanford, among others.
At six commits, Penn State is essentially halfway done with its class. Look for the Lions to have between 11-15 spots.
And behold the power of salesmanship. O'Brien can't offer any of these recruits a Big Ten title or bowl game for two years after they enter college. He was nearly lured away in the offseason by the NFL. If Penn State duplicates its surprisingly good 2012 season — don't count on it — O'Brien may get wooed by the pros again. There's very little certain or stable in Happy Valley.
And yet the recruits buy in. Remember that O'Brien's selection at Penn State was made as much by a panel that included coaches more than it was by any one administrator; though it took six weeks to pick a coach, that committee saw something in O'Brien that went beyond his resume.
O'Brien lost one of his quarterbacks, Steven Bench, to transfer this week, so look for 2013 signee Christian Hackenberg to get a good, long look when he comes to camp next fall.
>> 247Sports has unveiled a "recruiter" ranking on its site to measure the effectiveness of certain college assistants. It's not the most exact science — an Alabama assistant has an inherent advantage over a Kansas State assistant, even if the KSU guy could sell steak to vegans — but it does provide some insight to which assistants — embedded in certain programs — best move the needle.
Naturally, because Nebraska has just one commit, no NU assistants sniff the top 50. But a former Husker coach — LSU's Corey Raymond — is still in the top 10 as of this writing. Raymond is credited with helping land five-star Arlington, Texas safety Edward Paris. In the 2013 rankings, former NU graduate assistant Chris Kiffin — now coaching at Ole Miss — ranked No. 24, Raymond ranked No. 63 and NU's Rick Kaczenski ranked No. 80. John Papuchis ranked 87th.

Barnard Castle
The handsome market town of Barnard Castle has sights of its own and can also serve as a base for venturing into the Teesdale Valley to the northwest. Its unusual butter-market hall (known locally as Market Cross), surmounted by an old fire-alarm bell, marks the junction of the streets Thorngate, Newgate, and Market Place. Stores, pubs, and cafés line these thoroughfares. In 1838 Charles Dickens stayed at the King's Head Inn here while doing research for his novel Nicholas Nickleby. The local tourist office has a free "In the Footsteps of Charles Dickens" leaflet.

A review of "Skipping Towards Armageddon: The Politics and Propaganda of the Left Behind Novels and the LaHaye Empire" — 7 years ago
If you've ever wanted to know just what the "Left Behind" series was all about, and what makes the people who read it tick, but don't want to buy and read the series yourself, this book is worth a look. The author weaves themes and excerpts from the novel into a narrative about LaHaye and the movement he's helped build. Plus, the summraries of the novels at the back of the book is another way to get some insight without having to read the whole series.
My only complaint was that there were a few too many typos in the copy I read. The publisher could have done more with copyediting.

April 28, 2011
Mark Steyn is guest-hosting for Rush today...On the issue of Obama's birthplace...
One reason... I never got excited about the birther business – I don't want this President discredited and kicked out on a technicality... I don't want this President to be convicted on technical grounds. I don't want this Presidency to end on the technicality of whether he was born in Hawaii or whether he was born in Mombasa or whether he was born on the planet Krypton. I want these ideas to die. The ideas on which he got elected. Because these ideas are killing your country. And in that sense Obama is not a foreigner. He's like millions and millions of the Americans he's lived among in Hyde Park, Chicago, at Harvard, at Columbia, at Occidental. These are the people who take these ideas about economic growth, the inequities of American foreign policy – they're all entirely normal. This is the swamp in which he's been marinated his entire life... what's embarrassing about it is not that it's utterly foreign to the United States but that it's so normal to a huge swath of American elite. All the views Obama holds are entirely normal to huge swaths of the American elites. Those ideas have to be discredited. It's not enough to end his presidency simply on some rinky-dink technicality like where the guy happened to be born.

It's not just the patient who is affected; the family is as well. That's why we offer the Palliative Care Program to all patients admitted to Memorial. Here, we provide more than medicine; we offer compassion.
Palliative care is a special kind of care for people living with a life-threatening illness. Patients may receive palliative care at any stage of their illness; however, we recommend introducing it early in your care. It may even be provided at the same time as curative treatments. This is what sets palliative care apart from hospice care; a patient in hospice would no longer seek curative treatment.
The goal of the Palliative Care Program is to help patients and their families achieve the best possible quality of life when faced with a life-threatening illness. To help meet that goal, we address the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient and family.
By working with your doctor, we provide:
If you would like to take part in the Palliative Care Program at Memorial, please ask your nurse or doctor for a referral. For more information about the program, call Beth Johns, RN, MSN, CHPN, at (618) 257-4211.

[Check out Rabbi Kaminsky's blog. Ed.]
It's Sunday morning here in Adelaide; at 11:45 a.m. it's already 102 degrees. Heat is expected to break tomorrow night, and we're anticipating that with great eagerness.
A visitor to our congregation several months ago wanted to know if people in the Southern Hemisphere reschedule Jewish holidays for six months later than the Northern Hemisphere. It's true that it's been an adjustment to think of the High Holy Days as falling in the spring, and to attempt to reimagine Pesach as a fall holiday.
Tu b'Shvat has always seemed to me to be one of those holidays that's randomly assigned a date without any attention to the growing calendar. On the east coast, it's usually one of the very coldest days of the year. Even in Israel, it's mid-way through the growing season and not a particularly notable time of year, despite the blossoming of the almond tree.
Here in Australia, we're just about at the end of harvesting fruit trees. I have an enormous peach tree in my backyard, and for weeks I've been trying to figure out how to unload the many pounds of peaches I've been harvesting. On Shabbat morning, I was out early picking several dozen peaches to bring to shul to share. It struck me as a wonderful novelty to actually have tree fruits ready and available for picking on the day of Tu B'Shvat. Maybe the rabbis had the Southern Hemisphere in mind when they chose the date!

Sometimes looking at a work of art from the right angle can make all the difference. In the art installations shown here, building interiors and exteriors have been painted in various ways to make them look like patterns have been superimposed on top of them. However, this effect is only seen when looking at the space from the correct angle.

What can piles of junk be used for? Apparently, some pretty neat sculptures.
From pieces of scrap metal, to piles of household trash, to mummified animals, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have taken many pounds of nondescript rubbish and shined light on them, literally, to create what's known as "shadow art."

This old watch isn't really that old, not in the sense of family heirlooms. It isn't a watch at all, in fact. It's only the casing, the exterior, the glass rimmed in gold, smooth but for the notch where it would have clicked onto its back, and engraved: Tiffany, in tiny letters, and D. L. M. in bigger ones—my married initials—my middle name lost to me with the gift of the watch itself. And what happened, I wonder, to its back, to the face and the mechanism in between, to the soul of the watch, a white oval with Arabic numerals, and that little knob on the side—or wait,...Read More

those shows were deeply moving, especially night 2............
then i woke up at 3:20 PT on Sunday morning to catch my flight back to LA in time to play in my soccer game. and i've had a cold through all of this.
needless to say, i didn't score a goal.

Hello all!
I understand I am resurrecting an old post on this board, but I kinda felt it to be necessary... for me at least!
The shows in Chicago meant so much to me. I had two amazing nights where I got to meet the band, see them live, and hear two of my favourite albums, live in front of me in their entirety. To top it all, this was my first time in the US, and it was fantastic. I can't thank you guys enough for that!
Me and my friend came over to the Chicago shows all the way over from Birmingham in the UK. It was a long and expensive journey, but it was worth every penny. I had turned 25 about a week before the shows, and as far as I am concerned, the two nights made the best birthday presents ever!
A big thank you to all the lovely people I met at the show, including some board members here! Everyone we met at the show were all such nice people and the atmosphere both nights was amazing.
I was at Pinkerton night. I'm biased since it's arguably my favorite album but it was possibly the best concert I've been to. It was just... exhausting, both emotionally and physically. By the end I felt like I got hit by a truck. Riding the red line home was surreal.
Thanks man.
The twelve hour trip to Chicago was unbelievable. Words can't describe how awesome that weekend was. It wasn't anything that I thought it would be, but it was more perfect than I could ever image. Cheers to you guys for putting on a spectacular show! It was the best experience ever! And a shout out to Brian for signing CDs on Night 2, even though he was sick. That made my night.
dude yeah night 2 wsa the best by far. so moving. all the songs were awesome and deep too.
Hey Rivers, My husband was actually going to ask you about Chicago's Pinkerton night at the Diaries Q&A... you called on him (down in the front, second row) but we got overridden by the microphone... but we were wanting to know what your thoughts/feelings were at the end of that show, after Butterfly, with your guitar in the air.... there was an amazing emotional energy that filled the entire place, and we were just wondering if you felt that too :)

Oury Lock-On Grips with Clamps
The Oury Lock On Grips with Clamps are the ultimate standard in grip comfort and beauty. Anti-vibration, large pad design eliminates numbness and slipping for any size hand. The extremely soft rubber will give you excellent control and maximum comfort. The Oury Lock On Grips handsomely detailed design adds beauty to any bike.
These are my favorite grips. They are large in diameter and have a soft rubber. I like the comfort a larger, squishier grip provides. The ODI clamps make them easy to take off and on.
I have big hands and ride a hardtail so the extra vibration control and more open grip you get with Oury is a real plus. Plus it reminds me of when I was a kid ridding BMX and Oury grips were the bomb back then too.
I switched out my stock grips for these and they are incredibly comfortable and solid.
great choice of grip
Best grips period. Claps make installing and removing them a cinch. They are large diameter grips which is perfect for me. My hand just curls around them better. Very high quality build. I would definitely buy them again.
These are my favorite grips. They are comfy and make my hands happy. Despite being soft, the rubber seems to be pretty durable. I haven't worn mine out yet.
Best grips out there. They are thick and super comfy. I have it on all three bikes.
I dont think there is a better grip on the market. I even tried ergo grips and these were way more comfortable. The large diameter of these grips makes it easier to hold and just feels like a more natural fit in my hand. Lock out is great but not absolutely needed, the regular ours work great to.
These grips are really nice. They slide right on with no effort, and the lock rings keep them very secure. End caps are nice too and won't fall off. These grips are pretty thick, and the rubber feels good to grab. They definitely help absorb some shock.

Wright accepts Adelanto City Council post
Announces resignation from school board
ADELANTO • Adelanto school board trustee Jermaine Wright Sr. announced Thursday at a press conference that he was stepping down from his post at the district after running for — and winning — both a seat on the Adelanto City Council and the Adelanto school board.
"I ran for two offices and the joke is that when you run for two offices you win one or the other — or you lose both," Wright said. "And to win both has been a humbling experience for me."
Wright said he submitted his letter of resignation to the County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Gary Thomas, on Thursday morning and will be sworn in to his post at the Adelanto City Council meeting on Wednesday.
"Mr. Wright has been an integral part of the district and his leadership will be missed," said Adelanto school board president, Christine Turner. "He has worked hard for the students of this district and has become very popular."
Turner said that the district will either appoint a new member to take his place or hold an election sometime in June. Turner said that they will announce what they plan to do at a special board meeting on Dec. 18.
Adelanto City Manager Jim Hart said he is pleased to have a Wright as the newest member of the board, as he brings civic experience and knowledge of protocol to his new post.
"The community provided him the option of serving on the City Council," Hart said. "I'm looking forward to working with him and getting to know him and getting him to meld in with the current City Council members and staff."

....nice studies dude :P
stop being lazy -_-||| :P
The asian photo study is amazing. Applauds :D
Very good studies, keep up the good work!!
Thanks guys!
Here's some still life studies I've done with oils...trying to teach myself haha They turned out pretty terrible so would love some crits, I'm having some trouble painting laying down paints on top of each other, either I'm not painting wet-on-wet correctly or my brushes are too crappy :davi:
the lighting on the photos aren't the best so some colours have been altered from what they look like in real life
Ran out of time on this as the lighting completely changed...doing these at my friend's place so have to finish in one session (featuring possibly the least appetizing looking orange in the world :P)
Attachment 910056
Tried to be less ambitious this time and just stuck with a simple apple (or more of an apple/orange crossbreed)
Attachment 910059
Kinda failed to get a good "glass" look, also I'm not sure why but the back ground looks less well blended with the back of the table top in the photo than it does in real life :S, also, I didn't use black, its more of a dark olive green. The edgework is terrible in this one
Attachment 910060
sweet works dude, keep pushing it!
um...btw it's february. :bashful:
Damn great studies.the progress in the value studies is great!!!.I mean with each one you show value improvement.
The study2final is wowwwwwwwwww!!!!
Maybe try to use the watercoloring in some other kind of artworks.Maybe more linework as base and simply giving mood with the transparent qualities of the watercolor.
Nice oils btw :)
keep up the good work!!!
Hey...you been busy.
I see you're getting the hang of working with pen...its all about working in layers...unless your the freaking Black Frog that is :D. Grey marker is a good choice for the under-sketch, I never really pushed that approach, usually just use non-photo pencil or a very fine pen (like a HI-TEC-C or such).
Stuff's looking pretty good. Mix in some more creative stuff, I know you're never lacking for ideas...
I think a balance of creation and study is important for you because, while your studies are uniformly excellent, a lot of you creative work is messy, disjointed, lacking in a sense of form and space.
Your studies have excellent rendering of planes and excellent distribution of values, you need to apply that to an understanding of form and composition in your creative work.
When you are working from life/ref (even for quick sketches) try first to capture the gesture with a few careful and simple strokes. Second, try to analyze the main forms and indicate them such that the subject appears as a crude model of itself. If you get to that stage you have enough to apply values for composition, and a perspective framework to build upon. Only then should you worry about the details.
I'm not saying this is the best approach for recording interesting details or capturing a good portrait or landscape, I'm saying this is a good way to drill the understanding of form and gesture into your brain, so that it comes naturally when you are working without reference. BTW, are you still doing life drawing sessions? You had some awesome from-life stuff earlier.
One big issue in your creative work is, you should be sketching a mannequin or skeleton to keep your proportions straight and to set the forms into a perspective space. A lot of times your figures suffer from big-headedness (looks too child-like), mis-matched joints, or general flatness...all of these can be corrected by visualizing a good mannequin. Again this is only one technique, but I think its really essential a certain stage of progress.
BTW post #569 was really strong...especially the designs for the girl in that animation. One note, I'm not sure if it was deliberate, she looked more human than the boy, who seems to be just a cartoon character...either way, I'd like to see more in-depth developments for characters, work the analytical into the creative.
Keep it up man, you're working hard...sorry I haven't dropped by in a while.
PS oh yeah...watercolors look fine...its a hard-ass medium. Look at Sargent and Arthur Rackham for inspiration. On the oils: I don't know much about the medium, but I think maybe you're being to stingy with the paint, not laying it on heavy enough?
The asian photo study is rocking bro... love the depth. Keep up the gr8 work
The boxer studies with ink look really good. I will have to try something similar too :)
Hey lots of update! o_o !!
Great studies and for watercolour I suggest playing with wet on wet techniques. Its my fave method and full of happy accident. :)
*dang I hate double post* :(
hey man, awesome studies going on in here!!!!!
really love the kick boxing studies, the flow is nice.
you mentioned something about being weak with values, I would say that look at the edges you are making and try to play with them, the value transition is as important as values, in fact with variation you can do away with unnecessary changes in values
about the life studies in paints, one thing I noticed is that lack of contours when forms meet. Also, I saw the way the you have painted the objects, its as if they don't have much weight, and the point of contact with the table(surface they are kept on) is blurry.
There is almost no reflected light. it would be better for now to also take the pic of the composition so you can do multiple sessions later on too.
Beautifully caught expression, and oh wow, the way you rendered the shoulder, nice!!!!!!
Agree with bhanu, also nice job othervice on the woman study, kudos for having bravery to go into oils
Awesome updates man!! Post#602 is a real stand-out update especially the girl in the last pic and the girl that was polished up. I'd have to agree with Huey about trying the wet-on-wet technique a la Bob Ross. Keep up the good work my friend.
ugughhgh thesse studys are superrb maannn! love the oils !!
keep up the great worrk!
Strong drawings!
Your studies are just off the hook, but I'd like to see more work from imagination, though. btw, 你家是哪里的?
Yeah man, awesome studies, gotta second ChaunMing about drawing from imagination. Keep up the good work. :)
You're lasts studies are nice....there is a huge improvement from the first page of your sketchbook to this one
"We is missing You!"
Comeback please.
those figure studies are good, your definitely doing the right thing m8
purb36: Thanks man! :)
kingkostas: Thanks for the support man, wish I have time to do more oil studies these days...

Bears Necessity: Thank you! :D
Braintree: Yeah, its a great exercise :)
Huey Yeng:I will try it! thanks man
bhanu: Great to hear from you man! I'm still struggling when it comes to oils haha :)
Nettle_Mountain: Thanks! It's tough but I'll keep trying!
Turbosnail: Thank you :) aaah bob ross...love that guy!
r y a n o i r: Thanks man :)
mike butkus: Thank you for dropping by! It's a great honour :D
ChuanMing: 我是四川人呵呵 :)
PieMonster: Thanks man, I will try!
dessinateurimpulsif: Thank you :)
Icecold: Sorry man...uni drains my time...
Giorge: I'll keep it up! :D
Sorry guys for the long absence again...uni has started once more...and its just sucking away my time doing boring stuff again (writing proposals *coughBSINGcough*, research etc etc) Well I don't mind researching...just wish I had time to do drawing at the same time *sigh*
Luckily I managed to switch one of my papers to Graphic Design's Illustration paper (compulsory life drawing!! WOOT!) So at least I'm not getting SOME drawing done....
Just a dump of life drawing stuff I've done...sorry for the lack of imagination stuff again...I also really need to get an A3 scanner..
I went to a Sandman themed Dr Sketchy...was very awesome, gave the model some of my drawings so not much here...
Some random doodles
Messed with this sketch a bit in photoshop for fun...
great stuff :)
those tonal figure paintings look pretty good. Good range and generally well drawn. Consider trying to keep your light shapes unified almost as much as you want your shadows to be. I'd say don't jump the tone of the highlights quite so much except in very key area's. be very careful with the tone of darker marks that you put on planes facing the light. Keeping tones close is important. it especially helps with femininity if you're after that.
looking great.
hey long time no speak paper. shaping up well - those digis a few posts back look fantastic. With the figures - and especially the ink ones - they feel rushed. Lots of little artifacts that don't help describe the figure and don't add to the drawing visually. Invest more time. Don't try to become good at drawing fast, rather get faster at making good drawings.
Cool stuff though, you've come a long way man>
great studiesssssssss!!!!Very nice figures mate.I love the way the last portrait was done.Keep up sharing more :)
What?! Surprise update?!?!
haha...cool stuff dude! Especially lovin the pen and ink stuff!
I'll talk to ya more 'bout your art on msn
Man, I wish I was figure drawing so much! This is great to see! Work on getting more confidence in to those lines, dude! Try contour drawings from life with a pen. They're rough!

Good - Coordinating tie colour with embroidered name/company logo
Bad - Overly prominent company logo (inclued tagline)
Also Bad - Poor use of hair 'product'
Woeful - Button-down collar
Nice clean jacket though, almost as if it's brand new and this is the first time it's been worn.

I think think this guy is a fake. He doesn't seem to have a past, just a trail of phoney addresses. So he's an wanna be ego passing himself as omeone of some importance on a scale he knows he can never reach using his own abilities.
I guess posting photos here are for the wannabe people to search for any ego strokes they can get since REAL life won't provide. To me he looks more like he should try it as a used car salesman
Does he actually think this look is sexy?? Or maybe faking sexy too?

"Stem cell therapy will always be the therapy of the future." Norman Shumway said this years ago. He was right. The architecture (i.e. framework, scaffolding) in these people's bodies is already destroyed, and we think putting in a few stem cells is going to fix this. Suspicion always arises with non-academic physicians, few publications (<10 in his case), and working for private start-up company. This company seems not very much different than Regenocyte Therapeutic out of Florida.

I've got an aluminium-carbon SystemSix that I'm looking at stripping and then applying a clear coat over the bare frame. So far, I've wet-sanded part of a chainstay and I've come to the conclusion that there has to be another way. I've been reading about soda blasting and how it can be applied to both aluminium and carbon to strip the paint. However, the question is whether different pressures or mixture combinations are used to remove the paint from carbon as compared to those used for aluminium. Is it possible to soda blast the whole frame and get the paint removed from the aluminium part as well as the carbon section without damaging the frame itself?
Thanks for any input

Sweet, Dan. I'm always a fan of the friendly eccentric neighbors, and this is a perfect portrait of one such.
Great technique! Even better story!
Great strip. Different, but distinctly you.
Just great. I love the whole thing!
Definitely not what I'd expected from you, delightfully so. Can't wait to see what you surprise us with next.
What a wonderful story and so well executed. Thanks so much.
Great approach and story. Nice homage.
I love it - short, sweet, and well-executed.
"a chance for me to draw more effortless cartooning"
- does that mean you made no effort with it?
Joking Dan, joking… its nice to see this.
As it happens i thought just last week that an old Japanese lady i knew had died in her apartment without anyone knowing. I tried to get in touch with her several times and even went round to her place. Turned out she HAD taken a heart attack in her kitchen, but thankfully did not die. She's recovering in hospital now.
Well done, Dan, well done. I really love the style you employee her to tell your tale.

Great flow and usage of your signature photo style (in a differnet way than usual). I really like how you flexed a different style here, I think it really strengthens your overall skill, and it really helps illustrate the essence or style of the story. really well executed! "I do believe"
Dan mate, I really enjoyed reading this little 'slice of life' strip. What a great way to remember someone. Love to see more of the likes of this sort of work by you.

Dude, I'm a little late to this tea party, but I enjoyed it all the same. I echo many of the comments above in telling you how much I liked the way you told this story. Having the versatility and skills to adapt your "tools" to the tale at hand is a rare gift — and you use it beautifully.
Well is is a shame she did not accept the invitation. She must have felt safer at home. It is good that she is remembered at least with the bucket.
Thanks for the good.

Exactly one week ago, the Lakers officially saw what a media circus will surround this year's team.
Throngs of reporters swamped the Lakers' practice facility on media day, fighting for every inch of space once Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace stepped on the floor. Optimism surrounding the Lakers' immense talent led many to believe they're inevitably on their way to hosting a championship parade in about nine months' time. Others believe this just marks the beginning of another hastily arranged Super Team destined to self-destruct.
