My buddy, Jeff Urell from AEI Marketing has a site that he wants to develop for games.

The site is called…you guessed it, stoogepigeon.com.

Here is the first pass at the “host” of the site. Here is the initial sketch and the notes from the discussion.

The art was done in Flash, so if we wanted to animate it, we could.

I kept the parts separate (movie clips) and fairly simple, again for ease of animating.

I created a new sticker.

I think the most noble pursuit in a person’s life is to make a difference in the world. To make a positive change in some way. I still believe the way I will make a difference is with my art.

Question:

What do artists do when they retire?

Answer:

Make soap.

…think about it.

Throughout my life, my brother hasn’t asked me for much. In fact, I can’t tell you the last time he asked me for anything. He has called me every day in the past three days about designing this tattoo for him. You see, his wife is a cancer survivor of about five years now, and last week, they received news that it’s returned. They celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary this month as well.

My best friend’s wife is also battling it right now. I haven’t eaten at their house since Thanksgiving and, honestly, I would give a day of my life for just one more spaghetti dinner in front of the TV watching Two and a Half Men with my Jones family.

I can’t help but be selfish.

God says he won’t give us any more than we can handle (Actually, not a bible verse, but a combination of many – look at 1 Cor 10:13 for starters) and I just have to be okay with that. Whether you believe in God, Yahweh, Allah, or whomever, I believe we are made in his or her image and we return there after our life here on Earth is complete.

That’s good enough for me.

Happy Friday!

I took myself to see Sherlock Holmes this afternoon.

Absolutely delightful. I highly recommend it. I believe next to Martin Scorsese and my friend Jose Acosta, Guy Ritchie is one of my favorite directors. True genius and inspiring.

What a blessed day.

What is the strangest meat you’ve ever eaten?

I’ve eaten gator tail before. In some cultures, they eat cat…

I knew a guy once who stuffed skinned and gutted squirrels in potatoes and threw them on the grill.

My son, Stephen and I ate worms from the back yard. He fried them in a pan over an open flame.
