Saw this Kirby page on the Bristolboard Tumblr and since I’ve never inked one before thought I’d like to give it a try. Digital inks, about 3 hours.

I don’t watch Breaking Bad (I don’t know why not), you can tell because I think I screwed up the quote, but I did this 5 minute sketch of Walter White last night. There will be some serious Netflixing of this series very soon.

On Painting
The power of a painting has to come from the inside out, not the outside in. It’s not just an image; it’s an image with a body, and that body has to contain its spirit. A painting, really, is made by its reason for being there. What’s behind it decides everything, It’s not just a question of attractiveness or correctness; it can’t be fixed afterwards or by additions. How it starts will define how it ends. So it’s the weight of the intention that defines everything.

Apollo-11
Today is the 44th anniversary of the first human to step onto the moon. I’m disappointed that there’s no moon base yet, and it doesn’t look likely in my lifetime.
