Day 40 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’ve been at this for 40 days. I’ve been doing simple snapshots for the last few days, and I decided I wanted to try something a little more ambitious today. This is actually an idea I had for a couple weeks now, but I hadn’t gotten around…
Day 38 of 365 days. I had been wanting to take a shot featuring all of my tattoos at some point and when Pi c’s suggested a birthmark challenge it seemed like as good a time as any. These are the various symbols that adorn my body, the dates I got them, and what they…
Day 39 of 365 days. And when it rains it pours. Just when I was getting ready to work on the day 38 picture, my computer crashed. I had to reboot it for a software update and when it came back up, it… well, didn’t come back up. I’m guessing its a logicboard problem, because…
Day 37 of 365 days. And I am now 10% complete. How terribly exciting. Went shopping today. Didn’t buy anything but I spent a lot of time looking at digital SLR cameras. I am feeling very good about the Canon EOS 400D Digital Rebel XTi, and that could very well be the camera that I…
Day 36 of 365 days. I’d been wondering how I was going to do this since I started this project. I knew I wanted to get at least one picture of me wrestling in the set, but how can I take a picture of myself while wrestling without 1) breaking the camera and 2) looking…
Day 35 of 365 days. After a busy week of bringing the sexy back, its not back to business as usual. And it was a thouroughly busy day. A ton of crap to do at work, and then off to wrestling practice. In general just not much time to even think about being creative. On…
Day 34 of 365 days. The seventh and final day of Bringing Back the Sexy. Sometimes its really nice to feel like I have my 365 pic done early and I just don’t have to worry about it the entire next day. I guess I’ll be kinda disappointed if I happen upon doing something really…
Work Ethic Originally uploaded by ;). Now here’s something that doesn’t happen every day. The vice-president of a company I am contracting for just came into my “office” (I’m working out of a conference room) and told me and the other contractor about this thing he’d seen on the news yesterday. Apparently some woman was…
Day 33 of 365 days. And for the sixth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. Ok, here’s how addicted I am to this project. This is how my day went this morning: Thought of an idea late last night (2am). Didn’t feel like setting it up before I went to bed. Steph wakes me…
Day 32 of 365 days. And for the fifth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy, I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction. I wanted to make sure there was at least one more natural candid kind of shot, even if it isn’t quite as SEXY™ as some of the…
Day 31 of 365 days. And so I’ve last a whole month. Only 11 more to go. Some of its been hard. Some easy, but its definitely been fun. And this is the fourth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. I actually had this mirror idea, or versions of it much earlier in the…
by popular demand, this is the photo from the back of my 365 day portrait for 9-11-06.
I like the shot, but it didn’t tell the story of "many views and angles" that I was trying to tell with the mirrors. Or at least that was my thought. I’m curious as to how people think it compares to the more busy finished piece.
an in progress version of this picture. I decided to digitally ink and recolor it in illustrator. My first attempt at doing that. Previously I had always inked everything on paper before scanning it to color. Did quite a bit of redrawing once it was on the computer. You’ll note she’s more cartoony and manga-ish. Her arm is shorter. Her legs less defined. Her hair is completely different.

an in progress version of this picture. There was the very beginning of some ink work done before I decided to redo the entire thing in Illustrator. You’ll note that here she’s more defined and less mangaish, while still kind of cartoony. Blah, my pencils are crap these days. I’m so out of practice.

Batgirl Redesigned… Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. I had been meaning to do the Batgirl Meme since I first saw it way back in January, but I’m lame and I never actually got around to it til just now. If you’re into comics and or drawing though, you should totally do the batgirl meme. Just because…
