If you're here to see the progress that on "Big" and/or "Kurt's Pick" then GO AWAY!  Arrrrggggg!  Stupid bullfrogs and friggin' Kurt's eyes....

Sorry, it's been one of those days.  To start, we're having multiple family birthdays this week and I was making a cake when the blender decided to have a mind of it's own and spewed cake mix all across the kitchen.

I've decided when my birthday comes later this week that I'm going to take the big leap this year and turn 41 instead of 40 again.  I toyed with the idea of turning 39, but that was so 2004.  Funny thing is that my diabolical plan is working.  Nobody knows how the hell old I really am. 

As for "Big," this guy is a whole new challenge.  He's got so much pink in him it will be hard to make him look like a frog without making the pink stand out too much.  And then there's Kurt.  His eyes are wrong so it's back to the drawing board for him.  Literally.  I think I need to enlarge him and decrease the focus on the background.  The colours on his face are so dark that there is so little definition on his eyes making working them difficult.  It's hard for them not to just become flat.  Last night I had added red to the pupils to increase the depth before adding a dark blue and he looked like Satan.  Makes me with I had gotten a picture.  I suppose what I'm saying is.....see you in a couple of days.

I really do hope you keep the background, as the context gives the picture its humour. Even MORE background would be great!

But as you are the artist, we will, of course, defer to you on this matter.

Now, what would you like your cartoon to be about?

That's definitely Kurt. I can already tell. Or at least, the Kurt we think is Kurt...
