Remembering Fox Kids

Image
Growing up aside from the Ninja Turtles most of my favorite shows were on Fox Kids and mostly from Saban. Above is a cover from one of several Fox Kids magazines that were sent to me as a kid. The price says $1.00 but I never paid for them. One day they just started sending them to me. My guess would be because I would enter contests they held and they knew I was a long time watcher but who knows. As a kid all I knew is that they would send me one every month or so.

Self Portrait

Image
Grad school has been keeping me swamped and now with some time off between semesters I have been catching up on a number of personal animation and illustration projects that have been on the back burner for too long. One nice thing is that I have been trying to get in some more figure drawing and decided to do a self portrait since I haven't done one in a long while. I am pretty happy with how it turned out considering it was done late at night my time preference of choice when it comes to all of my artistic endeavors. Hope you enjoy. -DM
