Super-excited about Predators opening this week! Unfortunately I’m diving gleefully into the vortex of Connecticon so I won’t be able to see it until later on!

Didn’t want to rush this one, so you get a WIP screenshot.

Still plugging away at C’thulhu there.  He’s your daily doodle for yesterday, he just slept in. (Oh HO, see what I did there?)

Today I had some sushi that was very tasty.  My experience with sushi in the past was bitter and spicy, and I was sick afterward.  Today’s sushi was much better!  I had a sampler in an attempt to broaden my range, and tried some eel, salmon, tuna and some kind of shrimp-thing.

This weekend was like walking through cement as it dried.  Maybe because it’s getting hot again?  I dunno.  I felt very uninspired.

And still I drew.  I feel like I’m growing as an artist.

Here’s today’s doodle:

Working on these drawings for Connecticon has been educational for me.  I’m learning the time it takes me to continue working on a steady schedule.  In the past, I drew in spurts.  I’d draw a little, listen to a little music, do some dishes, draw some more, read an article, etc.  I still tend to do little sprints of drawing activity rather than extended marathon sessions, but I’ve trimmed as much downtime as possible from the in-between.  So that’s good.

I wonder if the lack of motivation was due somehow to Danielle’s absence the past day and a half.  I’ve always done my best work with an audience.  Am I that needy that I require an audience?  Here’s hoping for some more autonomy in the future.

A quick explanation is in order.  As I worked on today’s Doodle (commemorating the 50th birthday of the laser! Hooray science!) I learned the images I created for ConnectiCon 2009 have been lost!  Aaaaaaaand… you guessed it.  I lost them in the hard drive crash.

But every disaster is an opportunity in disguise!  That means I have another chance to create these awesome mascots!

Unfortunately for you lot, it also means I’m gonna be super busy for the next couple days/weeks.  The only doodles you’re gonna get are screenshots of these mascots while they’re in-progress.

Also this is awesome.  Maybe I’ll draw a doodle about that.

Lots of things are going on this week… no drama, just a long list of tasks and trips.  There wont be a daily Doodle for about a week as I go about my bid-ness.

I figured I should let you know, so you can commence the wailing and gnashing of teeth.  Fear not, loyal reader, I will return with plenty of images and updates.

In the meantime, here’s where I’m at with Cthulu so far:

And Harry and Ron versus the Locket:
