shattered dreams

alright, after the excitement and quality of the previous post with the book and the romance and the awww factor it's going to be tough to match that. 
with that in mind, wrassles. 
listen. i understand. wrassles aint for everybody, but i've been enjoying this little project and the distraction it provides keeps me from murdering people at my stupid job. so here's more wrassles. this is goldust. an amazingly talented wrestler with a gimmick way ahead of its time. funny, awkward and scary all at once he recently returned to the ring better than ever. so heres the sketch, final, and a scene with him in it. classic goldie pose with modern goldie looks. i will probably do one more big wrassles post and purge myself for a while.
on a more universal note, i'm thinking of putting together some prints to put up for sale on the interwebs somewhere. no wrestlers even! cute things! funny things! other things! the one series i am working on is the second half of a series of 6 i am going to offer in extra large postcard size as a series and probably larger individual prints. if you've been to our place in the last year or so you've seen the first triptych hanging around so here are some clues (super tricky ones) as to the 2nd grouping of 3 illustrations in their early sketch form… (they're super cute too…)
anyhoozle, there's that. i'll keep you posted on new arts as i have been doing a lot lately and on the possible retail situation in the future as details arrive.
also, as it relates to that book, i do things like that so amanda will spend all day driving up to green bay with me and sam and benji to watch wrestling live! thats right. not only did we get to go see hulk hogan and the undertaker live, but she knew the chants and dances and stuff for the wrestlers that most didn't! and did them of her own accord! she also has wrestling opinions of her own! and likes goldust too! i ruined a perfectly good lady and turned her into a wrestling fan. for that i apologize. but now she's stuck with me so she has someone to talk wrestles with.
sorry if you read all of that, i owe you some minutes of your life back.
later
