Gallery Update/Current Projects: The Evolution of Ostogri

I don’t have any new art to post at the moment, though I have been generating some. I’ve been plugging away at those t-shirt designs (all the while learning cool new Photoshop tricks to stream line things), which I hope to have done…sometime. I’m looking forward to having a good smattering of designs for sale and art I can add to the gallery here. I’ve spent some time working on a logo for a youth leadership program my cousin and his wife are heavily involved in. It was very different from what I normally do, but another opportunity to learn

Studio Stuff: Dynamic Anatomy by Burne Hogarth

Burne Hogarth reference books I keep my prized reference books well guarded at all times.

If you know me, you know I love books (and comic books/graphic novels). If you’ve been in my studio (or you’ve seen the picture of me at my desk on the About Toby page), it’s readily apparent. I’m forever running out of shelf space and daydreaming ways to add more shelving (fortunately Lee and the kids are on board for this in the rest of the house, too). I’m not a terribly materialistic person (I think), I don’t

Coming Soon to a Torso Near You!

What?! Two updates in the same week? Is it time for that announcement?! How?! Who?! Where?! Taco?!

Okay, two reasons for two updates this week.  First, the kids are on vacation next week, so I know my studio time is going to be compromised. While I won’t have to deal with making lunches and helping with homework and getting them to and from bus stops and waking them up on time (who am I kidding, Lee picks up my slack on a lot of that too), they will be around.  Interrupting.  Fighting. Yelling. Demanding to be fed and other ridiculousness. I’ll

Making some progress…

With the constant hand holding and help from my “lovely assistant” we are making some progress getting this website together and up and running.  So many new things to learn, I’ve posted and re-posted most of the content here several times over because I forgot this or that or I screwed something up.  We aren’t out of the woods yet, but we’re getting closer. I still have lots of ideas to add here, changes to make, content to upload – it’s going to be ugly and clunky for a while.

It’s Alive! It’s Official! It’s Toby’s Brain!

Welcome to Toby’s Brain – the plungers are free! Take a stroll around what goes on inside my head.  I have lot’s of stuff in there, and I hope to share it with everyone in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.  In general, technology and I don’t get along, but I have my wonderful wife, Lee, to help me figure things out.  In fact, if it weren’t for her, this website would still be a distant pipe dream, rather than a slowly developing…thing. Actually, if it weren’t for her, I’d likely be drawing with charred sharpened sticks on rocks, instead
