Gallery Update: Pet Portraits
Hey, another week, another update! Consistency! I'm still trying to catch up on some of those blog post ideas I've mentioned several times now. I have a few more to go. I finished up a page in 10 Things and I was slowly trying to wrap my head around the next, very complex page when I got the go ahead to rework another project, which will tie me up for most of the week, I think. I've continued with the daily manga self-portraits. It's getting tougher to come up with interesting expressions, but I'm still finding ways to have fun
Gallery Update: A Recent Exploit of Plunger Monkey
Alright, time to do a little posting catch up from December-ish 2015... As a select, special few of you know first hand, when something positive and worth celebrating happens to someone I care about, I tend to take the opportunity to craft them a custom Plunger Monkey card to commemorate the event and express my congratulations and shared joy. Graduations, weddings, births, those kinds of things just scream for Plunger Monkey's perspective or reaction. Back in December, my childhood friend, Aaron, tied the knot with the love of his life, Junko. They are two wonderful people and I'm very happy
Gallery Update: A Jedi’s Strength Flows From the Force…
I think I'm finally calling this piece done. I've had this idea kicking around in my head to do a series of drawings depicting myself and Plunger Monkey doing various things. In many ways, he's kind of like my Hobbes, I guess. But I could also argue he's kind of like Yoda to my Luke...hence the idea for this drawing. That, and, I've had a lot of Star Wars on my brain lately. Actually, that's not unusual, but more on that in a minute. At first I was thinking I'd just do a line drawing... This kind of fits
50 Shades of (Toby) Gray
Alright, just to clear the air: I have not seen the movie nor read the book, and I have ZERO intention to, but I couldn't resist the play on words as a title for this entry. Forgive me. Anywhat, *gasp*, right? A second post this week? I told you, I have a bunch of plans and ideas, I'm just struggling to make the time to get around to them. But, since I did pass a small milestone this week with drawing my 50th manga self portrait, I didn't want to wait too long without doing something fun to mark the
Studio Stuff: Pepere’s Hat
It's been, again, far too long since I've posted here. I'm a little better about making micro updates and posts on the TOBYSBRAIN FB page, but I've had a bunch of post ideas-a list, in fact-I just haven't had the time to get to them. Rest assured you will see them with your own two eyes. At some point. Promise. Anywho, a lot has transpired in the world of Toby that I've wanted to comment on (and I will...I haven't forgotten. I made that promise just last paragraph). I've made some Plunger Monkey art. There were the annual Plunger Monkey
American Ninja Warrior…and stuff.
So, once again, it's been far too long since I've posted here. I've been a little better about posting on my FB page (I just added today's manga self portraits, the first in about 20 days), but not much in the last few weeks. I've had other obligations, I've been renovating the guest room in our house, prepping for the holidays, etc. One thing I did get around to though (aside from seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens on opening night and the following night), was filming my latest entry video for American Ninja Warrior. I've got a long history
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
