Big Bull

Here is a sketch of one of my characters from my upcoming Wyldcardz comic book. His name is Bull. He's an interesting character. He's more than the muscle of the team, he's a capitalist. He's a cross between Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan. Bull believes he is a member of the homo habilis species (believed extinct) that has evolved and survived secretly among homo sapiens. Over the millennia they've developed an incredibly strong exoskeleton. This hasn't been confirmed yet. He may just be delusional.

Purpose

Okay. I've found a purpose for this blog. It will be a "sketch blog". One of the exercises I plan to do are some quick drawings each morning (or as often as life will allow). I'll post them here. The drawings will be of my characters, and also, well known characters. I decided to start with an old favorite of mine: Batman.

We all need Friends

I now have 51 friends at my MySpace page. It's an interesting and eclectic group ranging from Chad Johnson to Snoop Dog to Warren Ellis. I feel so loved.

MySpace

I have a new MySpace page. Doubt if it will have anything different from this page. Anything posted there will be posted here. Check it out: www.myspace.com/williamhodge.

Golden 50

Yesterday we celebrated my inlaws' Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary. We had a ball. All of the family was there. Looking forward to celebrating my 50th Anniversary. Just 38 more years to go.

Go Skins, die Cowboys

Oh yeah!! The Cowboys lost!!!! How sweet is that? Now all I need is for the Redskins to win tonight. Then we can look foward to the 'Skins sticking it to the Cowboys next week. So obviously, I'm a Redskins fan. My oldest son plays for an NFL Flag Football league in Waldorf, and they're the Redskins. Their first game is against the Cowboys. So I'll hopefully be celebrating 2 Redskins win over the Cowboys next week.

Hypercomics

I have rediscovered hypercomics. Daniel Merlin Goodbrey did a hypercomic called Six Gun at Comicbook Resources a couple of years ago. I think I'm going to give it a shot. The presentation of the material is interesting. If we're moving towards a more mobile world, and comic books are to be a part of it, then we should consider other ways of presenting the stories.
