Big in Japan

Well I think I can safely say this years birthday was a complete success! Lot's of laughs, stories, and good times had by all. And thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, it sure did make it a joyful one :D



I'm getting that yearly itch again. The itch to dig deep into my closet, dust off my Nintendo 64 and play the slew of games I've squirreled away over the years. Especially Conker's Bad Fur Day. If you've never played it, you're missing out (And I couldn't stress how much I mean that).


No matter how old I get and how advanced video games become, I'll always revert back to those gray 64 bit cartridges I love so dearly :).

Whiskey Coma

Some close friends of mine are throwing me a birthday party this coming Saturday.



Apparently, it'll be the 21st birthday party I missed out on last year. I think it's safe to assume I'll be out of commission all weekend.

Let's Get'em, Fellas

Well I've watched the trailer for District 9 about 20 times already. Yea...I guess you could say I'm excited...... XD

It looks incredible! At first when I saw Peter Jackson's name, a weird little town and aliens, I immediately thought they remade Bad Taste, but this looks much better. Although it would be fun to see a bit of dark comedy in there :D.

Death Becomes my Sketchbook

Crawling from the depths of some hellish nightmare prison, I give you....a vulture ghost!



Alright I haven't thought of a name for him yet, but I'm working on it. Although figuring out a name has been the hardest part of this character's development. I've already got a few ideas swimming around on how he'll intertwine with my story; and of course conceptualizing him was a no-brainer. This name junk is absolutely KILLING me. Any suggestions?




New work soon, I promise. Just need to bang out these renders and I'll get some new sketches posted ASAP.

Wayward : The Rabbit that Just Won't Quit!

Wayward's one of the many characters that have been floating around in my head for years now. About 5 or 6 years ago I conceptualized him in 3D. Nothing more then a rabbit-cyborg that looked cool and was fun to draw as well. I never really flushed out his character until much later.

I envisioned him as a very old and knowledgeable weapons specialist with a Scottish accent. At some point in his life, possibly during a war, he had the misfortune of stepping on a landmine which annihilated the entire left side of his body. Luckily, he had already built his prototype robotic appendages. Then it was just a matter of attaching his new limbs and eyes, and of course saving his life. He now secretly runs a weapons and gadgets shop that you'll find out more about later. Think Q from the James Bond movies....if he were a small Scottish rabbit-cyborg.

Hopefully soon I'll be building my new PC, so there should be a surge in my 3D work. Wayward is first on the list for a model and texture job. We'll see about rigging and animation much later, but it's a possibility ;)

The Great Bronze Blur

I'd like you all to meet my new ride to work:





There she is. 80cc's worth of pure, unleaded horsepower strapped onto a vintage bronze frame between two 20 inch white wall tires. She tops off at about 35 mph and kicks like a mule. In short, she's one sweet ride.

I know what you're thinking. "But Dennis, how can you possibly tame such a mighty hog?" The answer? You give me a vehicle with a tank that needs to be filled every 2 1/2 to 3 weeks, and I'll ride just about anything. Especially considering my commute to work everyday is 2 maybe 3 miles :P.

This summers been so unpredictable I haven't been able to ride it to work much, but I DO ride it just about everyday. Exploring the strange and twisted back roads around my house. I figure once the summer begins to fade and the weather seems to even out a bit I'll ride it to work more. Nothing like a bike ride on a nice fall day :D....ugh fall.....I can't believe I'm already talking about it.

Damn fine band, check them out if you get a chance.


Also, next time you're thinking about getting some KFC for lunch....don't.

Black Lung


I recently discovered the joys and wonders of cigars.

I'm still learning, I'm not yet the cigar connoisseur I'd like to be. Not to mention one made me sick :X. Curse these virgin lungs! But anyway, I enjoy the casual smoke. Especially with friends. Now to find a Sunday that's nice enough to smoke outside, drink whiskey, and feel the like the 70 year old man I really am at heart.

Ball-Stomping

I had my first experience with a nasty client Wednesday. Let's just say it was a situation I would've been fine with never experiencing.

In lighter news (literally) the weather around here seems to be taking a turn for the better. I can finally break in my lovely new sketchbook while enjoying the sunshine 8-).

I love Natalie. You'll hopefully be seeing a lot more of her once I get some new sketches. She's turned into quite the awful bitch, as far as my story goes.

Spook Central


Is it possible to love Ghostbusters a little TOO much?



The answer: FECK NO!

Playing Ketchup


I feel as though this summer was somewhat wasted. Not because of work, more so because of this funk our state seems to have been stuck in for the past 4 months. Everyday rain, clouds, 60 degrees, gray. Typical Massachusetts weather....for November.

Just a week of sunny weather for my birthday, is that too much to ask?!

Let's Kill Us Some Monstiz

Plenty of personal work to upload. I've been quite the busy bee this summer.


These guys were originally going to be somewhat of a company mascot for my work, but due to scheduling and higher priority work, they sort of fell on the back burners, unfortunately :(.

BUT! Good news is they're fair game for my portfolio :D. Enjoy!

He, along with the others, will be finished eventually.....eventually.
