The Art of Running

Here is one of the pieces that is part of the running series I have been working on in collaboration with Bill Leung; yes we got real crazy with the name and coined it Chock/Leung ART. ;) Being that we are both track fans and such it's been fun and also neat in mixing the medias. Bill has taken his background photos and worked with them in photoshop and I have created the people or characters...it's been cool picking and pairing the duos. We've also done quite a few outside of the running theme and I'll be posting them up from time to time. Hope you like this one for now. :)

Proudly a Clydesdale!

well for all of u needing a little kick in the butt to get in shape maybe this will do it! hehe...i'm a running fanatic myself and ever since i broke my leg and have been relegated to the couch i've been certain that by the time i get back to pounding the pavement i will be of sumo proportions! this then got me thinking to what it would look like for me to be waddling down the road; still i didn't want to do a girl because that may hit a little too close to home...as they say i don't necessarily want to jinx myself with a prophetical cartoon! so instead i made this guy and you can tell that his heart for the sport and his dedication is just as large as his actual running shorts! so to all of the Clydesdale runners out there...quake the track with pride! You can actually see this as a Father's Day card if you want and i've also turned it into a few fun shirts, mugs, etc. to see on my Zazzle site.

Sorry for the lapse, life decided to issue me a big kick in the gut...

hey guys, sorry to leave this blog a bit in the dust but some crazy other drama is going on right now in my running related world. i was hit by a car last Thursday and it was pretty nasty, i literally thought i would lose the leg; and i have been laid up in the hospital since then. needless to say i've had to step back from doing much of anything now, so nothing new to really report in regards to writing and art. i'm trying to get some sketches done, but it's slow going between all that's going on and the medicine. you can read more about what's going on at my Fitness Stop blog if you're interested. i'll try to get some new stuff up soon, but right now most of my focus is on getting better and holding onto the hope that one day i will be able to run again.

Slacking today but thinking about running :)

Ahh, well I do feel like a bit of a slacker so far for 2010! :P I've gotten caught up on all of my projects and am left twiddling my thumbs in front of the keyboard and trolling online. It's amazing how much time can seem to fly by when you're doing...well, nothing...haha. But I at least did do some research reading so perhaps all is not wasted. I'm going to do some work on a few sketches and have been brainstorming about some topics for my Fitness Stop blog. I'm kind of excited in that I'm going to start a weekly training plan for anyone who wants to start running can follow. I figure I've dedicated enough hours of my life to it that I've got plenty of experience to pull from.

I used to want to be a running coach, as I think it would be lots of fun, so this can be my virtual way of doing that. If any of you fellow freelancers out there are also running freaks feel free to stop by and partake and even add your two cents! Well, that's all for now folks but I hope you like the cartoon I did too...hehe.
