Name: Scott Holmes
Location: Watson, MO, United States

I'm from a small town, 139 people if that. I had to look within to entertain, because there was nothing much to do without driving a few miles. So I started a collection of VHS movies that would get me through the 3 channel era of my small town. This is what gave me my love for movies no doubt. I was (and still am when meeting someone the first time) the quiet guy, never saying much. I usually won't shut up when I get to know you.

NCS Chapter Meeting

Had a great time hanging with all the cartoonists at the chapter meeting in Lincoln last weekend. The presentations were very educational and informative. I learned some things and met some more interesting artists. Tom Floyd, Cedric Hohnstadt, and Jeff Koterba were the speakers for the day. Cedric's presentation spawned a new character, Judge Head. One of his court room sketches was of a judge behind his desk, and with some voice overs it became a pretty funny character and gave us all a laugh.
Got to hang our with some of the guys in the hotel bar that night, had a blast. Can't wait to go to the next one!

I recently came into a truck load of instruments from some relation that's moving away. Some are pretty rough, and some are in quite good shape. I've been staying busy going through them and gauging how much work they will need.
I may be undergoing a job change where I work next week. I'm hoping it will make me happier and maybe give me some more money to pay bills and help with my artistic ventures.
Haven't gotten much work lately in the art area, but I've been trying to schedule myself some drawing time so I can get used to a pattern of drawing all the time. Usually, I have little time to practice and I want to be able to keep growing as an artist.

Well, hopefully I'll have more to blog about soon.
Later,
Scottman out.

Hello! setup a blogger app on my iPhone, just thought I'd test it out. Nothing much going on, got a new guitar student. I finished up a logo job for a mens church choir. I've been getting ready for winter around the house.
Well 'till next time, go vote! :)

Toonfest 08

Hey all, I recently went to the Toonfest in Marceline Missouri, and had an amazing time!
I got to sit through some great presentations by Jan Eliot, Dave Coverly, Tom Richmond, Greg Evans, and Michael Jantze.
I learned a lot, and had tons of fun. I really feel inspired by the great talent at Marceline's Toonfest. The best part is that all these people are so nice and easy to hang with. I had some artwork in the gallery as well, which was kind of surreal. My art hanging next to art by so many famous great cartoonists. :)
Greatest weekend I've had in a good while, feel really good about being a cartoonist. Yay!
:)
