IT IS THE TIME FOR...

First off, I wanted to note I have the coolest girlfriend. One, because yesterday we had to go into the Mall. I hate going to the Mall because there's too much going on and I get distracted and disconnected easily. But before we walked in Paige and I decided to speak in accents. She had a British accent and I butchered a New Zealand accent. We definitely turned some heads and woke people up from the drone of their jobs. If anyone asked we were going to tell them I was raised by Australian missionaries and we meet on a mission trip, fell madly in love, and the rest is history. 

Two, she is a helpmate that I can see myself with forever.

The top image is a scan from the current issue of CMYK. The image featured is from my best friend from the Design Department Ben Grove. The dude is amazing and he did this piece like two years ago and he has only gotten better at it. He currently works in St. Louis with Cannonball. The dude is a hotty so ladies if you are in that area check him out.

Here are a few drawings to wet your whistle. Last night our new foreign exchange students came over for dinner. My family hosts two foreign exchange students and take them out to eat, watch movies, and chat it up with some crazy good tea. They are two very sweet Chinese girls. 

School starts again for the last time for me tomorrow.

A is for Adam and Adam is centered but unfocused (which is changing)

THE VOTES ARE IN!!!

Thank you all (one person) who participated in my little contest. My friend Matt Gallion who got the question right. In return he requested to have a picture of a militant penguin invading the camp of supposedly superior polar bears. There you go Matt, I hope you enjoy it. 

The Lion picture was inspired by the collaborative comic book "5." It is named so because five different artists put the piece together. The are artists are as follows: Becky Cloonan, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba, Rafael Grampa, and Vasilis Lolos. It's a fast read because there are no words, but the art is gorgeous. What is also amazing is I got it for free. I pre-ordered the special edition of Pixu which is another collaborative comic book by the same artists minus Rafael Grampa. Both comics are great. 

Olympics is still amazing to watch.

BIG QUESTION. I don't mean to stir any feathers but I want to know what you think/believe. If you are happily married on earth and have accepted Christ as the Savior will you be married in heaven to your earthly spouse? The question and has been haunting me for a day or two now. 

The spider picture was inspired by the sky last week. On my way to work I looked up and saw these dark clouds holding the sun while it burst through their hands. 

Watch for more "contest" posts. I have a challenge already given to me this week by my girlfriend. It's a secret, and if we pull it off it should be hilarious. Night.

A is for Adam and Adam is still matriculate. 

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY I HAD BLOGGED 50 TIMES HERE

First off, who is watching the Olympics? Freaking amazing. All of it. The world's best of the best competing and breaking records! This is the first Olympics that I have gotten in to. I wish they would play the Judo competitions on television though.

Not too much going on here. My drawing today is inspired by objects I found today. In fact, I will give a prize to the first person to post a comment naming the round object in the picture. The prize is I will draw whatever that person wants, within reason, on the next post. So, there you go. Spread the wealth and the knowledge people. You're beautiful and goodnight.

A is for Adam and Adam is glad he has a life besides competing on an Olympic level

Hey guys. Sorry for the gap. Talk to you all later.

A is for Adam and Todd Bentley is full of crap

AMAZING GRACE, HOW SWEET THE SOUND

These are a few character sketches.

A is for Adam and Adam has had a spark of Adam today

SO DON'T BE AFRAID; YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAT TWO SPARROWS

What has been on my mind for the last two weeks is what is happening tonight; my five year High School reunion. I don't imagine too many people will be there, but how fun. And what's weird is I have run into a handful of High School people I haven't seen in five years. Every time I bring up the reunion they something like, "Oh, I don't know." And I'm like, "What do you mean you don't know? Who are you trying to impress? It's five years. No one expects too much from you yet. Now the ten year reunion you'll have to have a family and successful career, but not right now." Hopefully they will come.

I'm thinking of taking my camera just to compare how people have changed since their senior picture was taken. Might be pretty funny.

Also, I checked out the first episode of "Dr. Horrible's Singing Blog." It was short but fantastic. Dugey Houser was very funny, and I can see this thing taking off. The songs were hilarious. 

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

A is for Adam and Adam is enjoying studying Matthew

CONT.

IT'S A BLOG EAT BLOG WORLD

Hello all. Here are a few drawings from this past weekend. I keep having this tug-of-war within myself that struggles between thinking that I suck and thinking I'm actually getting better. For my close friends and girlfriend who have heard this too much lately I am sorry. Did I mention Hellboy 2 was freaking amazing. 

A is for Adam and Adam is a procrastinator

HMMMMMM

Not too much today.

To Heather,

One, just remember who got to go see David Copperfield from the Orchestra pit. Second, I'm going to finish college is less time than you. Third, Atlantis is real. Cello, Disney made a movie about it. Lastly, TALK TO THE HEADBAND.

A is for Adam and Adam is right

I WIN

TODAY I WON A BET. The song "Bitch" played last night at a restaurant and my girlfriend and friends all disagreed with me that the singer was not Atlantis Morissette. They were sadly mistaken.

A is for Adam and Adam is going to bed before 10:30pm

BURIED IN HER YELLOW HAIR

Going barking mad over these two projects and my purpose in life. Nothing new.

A is for Adam and Adam is devilishly hopeful

SUSTAINABILITY

Today was amazing. 

At Church I was challenged. I can't express every thought and emotion in it, but like any challenge the words spoken showed me my shortcomings. 

I spent most of my day laughing and staring at my beautiful girlfriend. She teaches me so much and she has no idea about it. Seriously though, her beauty is something to behold; not for too long though men. She will captivate you and she may accidentally ensnare you with her deep, mysterious eyes, but she will let you down. In her words, "I only have eyes and breath for you." Meaning me of course. 

Tonight we view "Sweeny Todd." It is a splendid musical with the twisted mind of Tim Burton literally smeared on the set of every scene. I am very glad I purchased it for my sweet. 

TO SARA...thank you for your polite observation about the status of my blog. I assure you you will not be found wanting form now on. My deepest apologies to an old friend. Thank you for actually checking up on me. And we can do lunch sometime soon.

These are scattered drawings and character sketches for my comic book project. 

A is for Adam and Adam feels most alive on nights like this one.

INNER NINJA

I wanted to put this memory on the internet. I know this sounds sappy, but hey I'm really passionate about what I do.

In my early High School years I was mid popular, semi-good looking, and a Jesus Freak. I mean crazy. I loved the guy, but was a little too strict and didn't LIVE freely like He wanted me to. It wasn't until the end of my Sophomore year that I wised up and really grew spiritually. Interestingly enough I lost most of my friends during this time too. So, for me, my Bible was the closest thing to my heart. The wisdom, knowledge, and love I learned from that time still sticks with me know. 

Which now brings me to my specific memory. I used to carry my Bible in my pocket. This was when the "Man Bag" was considered feminine and creepy. I eventually wore a perfect rectangle in the front left side of my jeans. About this time I was dating a girl who asked me to not carry my Bible around with me anymore because she thought it looked embarrassing. She asked me this at a Panera and I considered it. But the thought of being separated from God's lifeline in my mind, heart, soul, and strength brought me to tears. I couldn't do it and my the girl saw my conviction and dropped it. 

Unfortunately, I don't considered God's Word to be as close to my heart as it was then. I literally drank it in like a cool spring in the mist of the summer in Africa. I couldn't get enough. This is a sweet memory of mine, and though it is part of my past I will strive to make it my future again. 

A is for Adam and Adam is emotional (even on his blog)
