I’m Back!!

Hey everybody, did you miss me? I’m back from my two-week plus trek into the midwest and I have returned to Portland fairly unscathed. I think I’m going to ramp back up into posting by showing a few sketchbook things this week.
Oh, and today is my 27th birthday. When I was about 20 or 21, I made the prediction that the years of 23 through 26 would be the best years of my life. Now that I am officially beyond that range, I can look back and say that yes, the past four years have been the best up to this point, but you know what? I’m already excited because I think 27 may be even better. I also predicted in December 2006 that 2007 would be a breakout year for me creatively, and in a way it has been already, but I still have six more months to make even better on that, so prepare yourself for the glut of Bigtime-awesomeness coming your way.

Glad you’re back!
Happy b’day! Hope you have a fantastic day.
Thanks!
[…] Fresh off the presses (wooden spoon baren)! I made this linocut print based off of this sketch that I posted last month. It will be my page in a collaborative book project that I am helping to put together next month. I think I might take some colored ink and color in the lettering tomorrow to make it pop a bit more. It’s always a pleasure to be back printing even though my wrists and back hurt now. […]
