Sorry for the Absence!

Sorry for the absence, everyone..  After coming back from the Keys, I took another trip, this time to the Outer Banks.  Not much to talk about that, really, but I had a lot of fun

 

Has anyone heard of the game Spore?  It is being made by EA Games, and I’ve been really excited about it for a very very long time.  However I just figured out that I can’t run the macintosh version on my Mac!  I have to use bootcamp to run it through Windows.  I’m glad I can still run it, but it’s a pain that my Macbook isn’t supported.  The game looks like its going to be a lot of fun, anyway.  Here is a link if you haven’t heard of it: spore.com

 

I think I’m going to be writing some more insightful posts soon, instead of the diary-like entries I’ve had so far, so there will be some interesting stuff to read soon  Thanks for stopping by!

The Keys

Well I just got back from a week-long trip to the Florida Keys, as part of the Boy Scouts’ SeaBase High Adventure program.  Located just north of Key West, the Brinton Environmental Center houses definitely one of the coolest programs ever called SeaBase!  During my six-day stay with my Boy Scout troop, we deep sea fished, snorkeled in Looe Key, one of the best coral reefs in the world, sailed the mighty Atlantic, camped out on Big MUNSON! Island (where we got to pet!!! the Key Deer, a deer native to Florida), see dolphins, kayak through a maze of mangrove trees, and more!

 

It was a blast, and I got a lot of really cool pictures.  Once I look through them I’ll definitely post some up here.  Seriously, check this out on their website… Just google ‘Sea Base’ or ‘Brinton Environmental Center’.  If you belong to a Boy Scout troop or a Venture Scout troop, or are looking for an exciting summer job, check this place out.  It will change your life.

 

On another note, while I was there I also had some time to do some sketches.  I have started work on two characters to accompany Gradient in his story, ‘Shades of Freedom’.  Both of them will be introduced shortly.
