TDC #137: Trace of My Face

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

I’m good to my word. I’m working hard to keep up with The Daily Creates. They just haven’t been posted because I’ve been so darn busy! By the time I get done with things I HAVE to do during the day, I hop online to write at 750words and then promptly pass out. Luckily, all the hard bits of moving are over, and that means more time to sneak in fun things like this!

I was very excited about this assignment after seeing everyone’s really creative output. I don’t personally have an iPad (which is how most people seemed to be doing the assignment), so I considered going out to buy a Bamboo tablet, which would give me greater finesse over my digital art work. I’m still considering it… However, my mom offered to let me use her iPad, so I saved about $60 by springing for a $17 stylus instead. I’m thrilled by how it turned out. I may be getting a hand-me-down iPad soon-ish, anyway.

Hatchet Jack’s First Campfire and TDC

Thursday, May 24th, 2012

This evening I was able to sit around the fire and plan a bit with other counselors and the administrators. Usually I do not like administrators, but these two are cool. One is an angel and the other looks like an FBI guy. No matter, they are likable and seem friendly. Below is the angel addressing the group.

We spoke about some of the camp logistics and got acquainted with one another. It is going to be all roses and unicorns from here on out. They even noted that we can’t say, “&^% &^%$$@” (Jim Groom) ever. Not ever not once. And the FBI guy really really emphasized that point.

Today I did my first daily create for the summer. I sort of cheated and left a bit of the original in the background just for effect. Hatchet Jack uses Photoshop because he can. What he can’t do is draw for shit with his mouse. So here is my first TDC.

If you laugh, I’ll chop yer fricking hand off with my hatchet. Because I am Hatchet Jack.
