Big Green Ape
This is a sketch for the first strip. I’m just using this for a place holder as we get the new blog format going. Keep checking back to see the progress.
Character Study for @sheldonlendrum
Zipline’s reach spans the globe with our friend in New Zealand, Sheldon. He’s really part of our clan here…so he’s not exempt for being a character in the Big Green Ape world.
Character Study for @deannatiemann

Musings of my Twitter experience…so far
Over the past month I’ve really put in some effort to participate in and understand Twitter. There are good things and bad things, but overall I think I’m much better off for joining. I count it as a primary research source, as well as a place to vent…just a little. Below are a few of …

Spokane PreFlight 09 – student portfolio review This morning was the annual portfolio review for area students. Students from the local colleges and universities came down to the Davenport Hotel to show off the fruits of their labor…and prepare for the upcoming job search season.
