Book Pick

If you're a fan of those John Hughes movies from the 80's ("Sixteen Candles", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Weird Science") you'll likely enjoy Larry Doyle's first novel "I Love You, Beth Cooper".

Former TV writer and magazine editor Doyle frenetically chronicles in his debut a long night of goofy teenage antics. After concluding he has nothing to lose, geekazoid valedictorian Denis Cooverman declares, during his graduation speech, his love for Beth Cooper, the way hot head cheerleader. He is amazed to discover Beth is not completely repulsed by his feelings for her, although her army boyfriend, Kevin, is enraged. Along with his 'maybe gay' best friend Rich Denis spends his graduation night in pursuit and on the run with one outrageous mishap after the other.

Hennessy Ad, music by N.E.R.D.

When I first saw this commercial I had no idea what it was for. The music grabbed me. Once I found out what it was I immediately purchased the song "She Wants to Move" by N.E.R.D. from iTunes.

Art of The Month: Diablo

Over at my website, www.breyette.com, I am featuring "Diablo" as my Art of The Month. Therefore, through October prints and the original of the hot devil, are 15% off.

On The Drawing Board: Wolf Whistle

Having never done a guy that's part man part wolf, I figure the best way for me to approach it is by drawing him primarily as a regular man first then adding in the wolf elements. I will probably add more hair/fur to things like his ear, but first I need to draw him without it.

On The Drawing Board: Feeling Better

I'm feeling much better after being miserable with a cold all of last week. As much as I wanted to get to work on my new drawing, the sneezing and coughing and the thought of stirring up pastel dust kept me away. Though I did get some work done. I fiddled with my sketch a bit, altering the arms to bring more attention to the shredding off of the wolf man's clothes.

I also spent some time working up ideas for future works, including a fireman and a cowboy couple. I gave some thought to what I want to do for a winter holiday piece but haven't nailed it down yet. I have to get busy on that soon if I plan to get cards of it made and available.
