In my Little Pumpkinhead drawing (HERE), there is a bat that I just threw into the background. I didn’t sketch it out, I didn’t really intend to put it in. It was just an afterthought, something I scribbled in with my computer mouse as I was coloring it.
It took my friend Mike to cut it out and send it to me, before I realized what the best part of that illustration is. Of course, it’s the part that took 5 seconds and no thought. HA!
Something my kids said at dinner got me thinking of this. I gave myself an hour to do it. It took two. (CLICK to ENLARGE)
*shrug* Guess I’m just in a Halloween mood right now.
Another Spooky Thing for Halloween. For some reason, I like this one much, much better than The Pumpkin Avenger (see below).
A spooky little thing. Happy Halloween.
Lest you worry, what happens next:
PUMPKINHEAD: Here. Use this knife instead.
LITTLE BOY: Gee, mister. Thanks!
Hmm. A lesson in humility.
Rise And Fall: Civilizations At War took the BAFTA in our category (Strategy). Oooh, so close. Even had the word “Civilization” in the title. Close. But no cigar. Congratulations to the team over at Midway for winning our –I mean, this — prestigious award. *blush*
But, boy is London a great town… this was the view outside my hotel room:
Yep. Big Ben. I had a few hours and walked around my little area of London. So many things I’d heard of and wanted to see were a short walk from me… Soho, Fleet Street, St. Martin-in-the-fields, Trafalgar Square (Nelson’s Column), Big Ben, Parlaiment, Westminster Abbey, the Eye of London, the Tower of London, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre…
I loved it. I hope to go back one day, maybe with a BAFTA film nomination…
