A New Name Game Appears!
It's a new naming game! Last time we played "Name That Dragon." Now we are going to name gnomes--excuse me, Gname gnomes.
I was listening to an audiobook a few years ago and the reader pronounced the word "Gnome" as "Guh-no-may." It was an Ernest Hemingway novel--I wanna say Islands in the Stream. Anyway, a character in a bar was describing a short guy he considered to be a "guh-no-may." Does anyone know why someone would pronounce it that way? Is it the spanish pronunciation or something? Was he discussing a gnome or am I horribly confused? Anyway, I've always liked pronouncing it that way--try it, it's fun.
Gnome #1 appears tomorrow.

A Deadline Weekend
Hey everyone, I hope you liked the calendar pics. I realized as I posted them that I do really miss doing the calendars. I may have to bring that tradition back in some format.
So, one of the books I'm working on--"Graphic Novel B"--is due this coming Tuesday, the final artwork. The last few weeks have been wall-to-wall page grinding to get it done. The calendar scans have given me a nice break from creating new blog posts, but now I'm all out. I don't want to burn through another calendar already.

I do have an idea for a new game. It's another name game (a la Name That Dragon.) We'll start on Monday. Have a great weekend! I will be burning the midnight oil and the candle at both ends to get this book wrapped in time. Crunch, crunch, crunch.

Old Calendar '01: August
These were all done with Rapidograph pens on vellum-surface bristol paper. I did the Rapunzel/Calamity Jack drawings with the same stuff. I haven't used the dots much since this calendar--I like the dots. I'll have to try them on a new project someday.Have a great weekend.
