If you’re wondering about the title, if you’ve ever played Mad Gab you can figure it out.

So this getting back to drawing thing has been fun. I don’t know that I can come up with good sketches every day, and I already have one that’s kinda weak up (Robot Wizard). But I realized that I’m not that bad at sketching, when I sit down and get in the right mind for it. I’m not saying I’m the best by any means, but I can draw stuff I like to look at.

Today’s sketch-o-the-day is a character I created in my brain about 12 months ago. I have been writing about him and his world in hopes that I can eventually come up with a book. Not really because I’m looking to come up with something other people would spend money to read, but really as a project to challenge myself. And if it turns out everyone in the world wants to read it all the better… His name is Rani and he’s got some adventures ahead of him, I’ll post a bit of the writings in the future when I have something worth sharing.

So I read “The Wite Mountains” this week, it’s the first in the “Tripods” series of books. I read it in 8th grade and every time I thought about it since I really wanted to read it again. It is a good book and goes fast so if you’re looking for a book to read I recommend it, and then you can go on and read the other books in the series. It’s really good if you like stories about the human race under the control of aliens, and eventually overthrowing their invaders. One good thing about it is that even though it takes place in the future and was written over 40 years ago, since the aliens send the human race back to the middle ages it is kind of a timeless book. It doesn’t have things like flying cars for the future humans, just a struggle for freedom.

Red delicious, that is my favorite apple if you were wondering.

Oh, I am working on my actual professional site, if you didn’t know (http://www.robharrisdesign.com) I think I’ll put up a screenshot of where it’s going and if you feel like giving some feedback I’d be happy to read it.
