Howdy y'all! To put it bluntly, 2007 really sucked for my wife and I. No need to go into details, but just to put it mildly, it seemed like every day brought one more bit of bad luck our way. Through it all, the one thing that was a constant bright spot in our lives was our three-year-old Lucas. So when 2008 began and Lucas asked me to make him a book about robots, that was all the inspiration I needed to try something I've never attempted before, namely, illustrate my first children's book. It's called Robot Alphabet, and I plan on blogging about it on a weekly basis, taking us all the way from A to Z (you can find the site here: http://www.robotalphabet.com/). The fact that this week's challenge involved Sci Fi, made it seem like the perfect time to announce what I'm doing to the world. Every week I'll be adding a new illustration showing the things robots do, starting with this week's entry: Robots Awaken. I'll also be posting sketches, doodles, tutorials, anything and everything that will demonstrate what I'm doing to create this book. When it's all done, I plan on publishing it through Amazon's BookSurge. I hope you check out my new site regularly. This is quite literally a labor of love for me.
