day 54

I'm having a bit of a shift in the direction I may be going...earlier on I had a concept that's adjusting a little now.
...in retrospect, maybe I should've gone with 50 days of dinosaurs!

day 52

Well Gus has been unconscious for QUITE awhile after being kicked by the appatosuarus, and since team Diana is giving me a hard time, I thought it might be about time to get him going again.

2011-12-07T09:47:00.000-08:00

day 51

I've ran out of room on the main page! I'm hoping there's a way to extend the amount of posts beyond 50, otherwise you'll have to go to older posts to view. If anyone out there knows how to extend the amount, let me know!

2011-12-06T19:04:00.000-08:00

day 50

Well I'm now officially half way done with my hundred days of dinosaurs!

I'm finding I'm now back into a more stream of conscious mindset than a while back. Before I took a few weeks off I was thinking of the whole of the project with an overall arc, but those thoughts have faded a bit as I was away form the project. It's probably something I should put a little attention on, but it's actually kind of satisfying letting the story inform me as to the next events as I get to them. I'll try to figure something out as I go!

Thanks for the nice comments for those who've posted. I appreciate the encouragement!

...And for anyone out there looking for a little extra Christmas swag, I've just put up a children's book on the blog!

day 46

I went to the dinosaur exhibit at the LA museum of Natural History yesterday which was very cool. Ironically, I'd already posted yesterday's post, (which was of Gus narrowly avoiding the spikes of a Stegosaurus) when I learned that stegosaurus wasn't even in the same era as triceritops or T-Rexes...by 80 million years! Perhaps had I not already posted, I may have adapted the steggie to another dinosaur, but since I had, I'm chalking it up to artistic license!

day 39

I'm slogging through getting this post up! I've been away from it for a couple of weeks and seem to have pretty much lost my momentum...hope it doesn't take too long to get it back.

2011-10-07T00:28:00.000-07:00

day 38

Here ends another micro-chapter in Gus' life...and just in time too, as I'll be away for a week or so. I'll start up again as soon as I get back.

2011-10-06T11:09:00.000-07:00

day 37

My internet went down last night, so I couldn't post yesterday. Hopefully I can post another today, as I'll be away for a week or so.

I'm running a bit behind...almost the end of the day before I got a drawing up!

day 34

Thank you to everyone who has left the nice comments. I really appreciate your compliments and support!

I've now acquired quite a collection of dinosaur figures/toys...I'm pretty sure my wife thinks I've reverted back to childhood...my desk is littered with critters now! I can't believe how cool dinosaur toys are these day...when I was a kid these kinds of things were in a whole different league than what they've evolved into!

day 31
I've made it a month into the project!
On this post I had the misfortune of doing a sketch of the T-Rex skidding around and my computer crashed before I saved. Argh! I hope this sketch is as strong as the first, but I guess I'll never know.

2011-09-28T07:38:00.000-07:00

day 30

I'm nearly a third of the way into the project now. I noticed the blog shows fifty entries at a time, without having to go back to earlier posts. I'm not yet sure if that break will affect the rhythm of the story or not... ( but will most likely let the content drive whatever I decide to do...) But it's something I'm finding myself thinking about a bit now. I'm also kind of feeling my way through a general overall idea as to what'll happen in a general way. It's pretty interesting, just as a process, to see how the this thing is kind of taking a life of it's own.

Just got in from san Fran AGAIN...it's getting late, but at least I scratched this one out before midnight!

2011-09-22T14:49:00.000-07:00

day 24

As I'm working straight ahead on my hundred days of dinosaurs, I'm starting to form a thought of how it's going to work as a whole piece. I'm finding I have a general concept emerging, but working in this fashion, it's difficult at this point to see how an overall story arc is going to work. It may be too short for a hundred days,...it may go over a hundred days( although I'm wanting to commit to these constraints, since that was my initial concept.) Kinda flying without a net, but I'm having a good time with the project anyway!

day 23

2011-09-20T07:19:00.000-07:00

day 22
I started drawing the confrontation between these two dinosaurs last night and had considered using a more obscure horned dinosaur, but opted for the classic triceritops/T-Rex showdown.

2011-09-19T12:18:00.000-07:00

day 21

egg eater.

2011-09-18T17:33:00.000-07:00

day 20

It's interesting how this project is developing in my mind...it's pretty apparent that the T-Rex is immerging as the dominant villain of the piece...not surprising 'cause he's the coolest ever!

...of course there are other interesting meat-eating antagonists that could be cool, but it's hard to beat the king!

...besides... they're fun to draw.

(...and nobody'd be afraid of an herbivore!)

2011-09-17T20:38:00.000-07:00

day 19

I just got back from San Francisco again and wanted to get a drawing up before the end of the day! I'm ahead in my mind a few days as far as what's going to happen... now I just have to catch up with the drawing end!

2011-09-16T12:04:00.000-07:00

Day 18
Gus' dining is distracted...

2011-09-15T22:23:00.001-07:00

day 17

It's nearing the end of the day and I'm just getting around to posting. It's nice to have a couple sketches ahead when posting these, but I'm a little behind the eight ball now, with no spare sketches!

2011-09-14T15:02:00.001-07:00

Day 16

2011-09-13T08:32:00.000-07:00

Day 15

I've reached the end of Gus' first day. Thank you everyone for the positive support on this project so far!

day 13

Gus looks back from a safe distance.

2011-09-10T17:20:00.000-07:00

Day 12.

Gus heads for the fronds! I just got back from San Francisco where I'm teaching a storyboard class at the Academy of Art and I doubt I'll get around to doing another drawing today, but fortunately I'm a day ahead of schedule and have a spare!

2011-09-09T07:41:00.000-07:00

day 11.

Gus successfully extricates himself!

2011-09-08T19:19:00.000-07:00

I'm at day 10 of my hundred days of dinosaurs! Whew! Ten percent done!

...picking up on Gus struggling to free himself from the jaws of the crocodile mother who scooped him up with her other hatchlings...

2011-09-07T08:24:00.000-07:00

Day 9

2011-09-06T03:00:00.000-07:00

Day 8.

I spent the last couple of days up in San Francisco so have been neglecting Gus as he's been traveling around in a croc bus with a bunch of her babies. Fortunately for him, mother croc hasn't figured out he's there!...yet...

2011-09-02T15:07:00.000-07:00

Here's day number 7.( And from the looks of it I'm wondering if there'll be and eighth day!) If Gus is lucky, he'll return on monday, as I'm out for the weekend.

Good luck with that croc, Gus!

2011-09-01T09:45:00.000-07:00

well, I've made it to day 6 of my hundred days of dinosaurs project. I 'm glad I didn't pre-emp the project by committing to a post EVERY day, but I'll do the best I can to keep it going. I wish the post could be modified so that you could scroll down to advance the story, rather than up, but evidently that's not in the cards.

I've been thinking a bit about Gus and am not really sure what kind of dinosaur he is; probably a velociraptor, but I'm open to other ideas from any dinosaur afficianados out there! ....maybe he'll grow into an Allosaurus, who knows?

2011-08-31T13:59:00.000-07:00

Day 5

2011-08-30T16:17:00.000-07:00

I've made it to day number four! So far so good!

2011-08-29T16:23:00.000-07:00

I think I've decided to officially start my hundred days of dinosaurs with Gus' first appearance, so that'll make this day 3!

2011-08-28T22:43:00.000-07:00

Now that I've sketched a couple of dinosaurs, I've discovered a bit of a different direction for my hundred days of dinosaurs project. I'm going to follow this little guy named Gus through his adventures in the Jurassic period.

I have no idea where it's going to go, so it'll be a surprise to me too!...hopefully a cohesive one...fingers crossed.

2011-08-28T05:01:00.000-07:00

Well I'm up in the middle of the night and thought I'd post another dinosaur sketch.

I'm calling this one 'the birthday'.

2011-08-26T14:43:00.000-07:00

I'm only the third day in on a hundred days of dinosaurs and I'm wondering WHAT was I thinking?!!!

I realize how little I really understand about drawing these things, so I'll be showing all my warts on this project, if I ever make it through!

Here's a T-Rex and a Stegasaurus facing off.

2011-08-25T16:27:00.000-07:00

Here's another T-Rex. I thought about doing a hundred days of dinosaurs...we'll see how far i make it.

...at least I made it to the second day!

2011-08-24T14:41:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick T-Rex for a post today.

2011-08-19T20:31:00.000-07:00

Barbarians. I'm getting more interested in this idea,being a huge John Buscema and his awesome Conan work!

2011-08-09T15:19:00.000-07:00

Just saw the new Planet of the Apes movie and got inspired to do more simian stuff. There's something strangely compelling about stories of apes and their interaction with man.
So here's a sketch of the King of them all!

Kong!

2011-08-08T18:16:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick sketch of Paul Revere I just did.

...he may look a bit more like Ichabod Crane, but I'm posting anyway.

2011-06-17T15:54:00.000-07:00

We have been off the every other day sketch for awhile now, hope to get back to it soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd just drop in a quick sketch of a horse. they're so weird and hard to draw, but kindof fun anyway.

2011-04-04T11:05:00.000-07:00

The theme today is 'Squaredance.'

2011-04-01T11:52:00.000-07:00

Thanks to everybody whose given the nice feedback I've gotten on my blog. I'm posting a sketch of a creepy ape today...so far there hasn't emerged a theme from those of us doing the every other day drawings, so in the meantime, I thought I'd just post a quik sketch.

2011-03-30T14:47:00.000-07:00

Did a quik sketch of Superman that Ben Balistreri suggested I post. He'd stopped by the office while I was away and drew a separate layer with a spider-man mask over him and a caption that said 'DC sucks, Marvel rules!'

....I left that layer off for the post.

2011-03-14T15:33:00.000-07:00

there seemed to be a lot of crying regarding this day's topic...
Man-up, Lerew!

2011-02-17T15:25:00.000-08:00

Ok...so we've been away for awhile, but are going to start posting our odd day sketches again!

Okay 'Team Diana'...here's a dwarf for you.

2010-09-21T11:37:00.000-07:00

Here's a thingy sketch...

2010-09-20T14:58:00.000-07:00

Here's a sketch I did a couple of weeks ago that I forgot to post. The theme that day was 'Zombie work"

2010-09-20T14:52:00.000-07:00

Hi to everyone, sorry we had a bit of a stall for a couple of weeks on our every other day sketch, but we're trying to get back to it! Here's the drawing of the day today,...the theme is 'Crocodile'

2010-08-20T15:40:00.000-07:00

Here's another I missed...deadlines were calling this week...didn't have much time for the odd day sketches...but here it is, a few days late.''Acrobatic"

2010-08-06T14:51:00.000-07:00

I missed a couple days, so here's the first of my catching up sketches...the theme on this was " skeptic"

2010-07-30T11:06:00.001-07:00

the topic today is "Hot Air"
I thought this would work better as a political cartoon, but couldn't think of any specific politician to caricature, so this is just a general politician; probably about any of them would suffice.

2010-07-26T16:09:00.001-07:00

okay, so the theme today is "Fruitful"

2010-07-21T15:59:00.000-07:00

The theme today is "Tall"

2010-07-20T18:20:00.000-07:00

day was "Rhino pilot"

The theme today is "training wheels" and I, of course waited till the end of the day to do it! So here it is anyway,...still have a few days worth of sketches to catch up with !I calling this one "PURSUED BY VULTURES"

2010-07-14T11:45:00.000-07:00

The sketch theme for today is "Conductor".
