IRON DWARF!
I went to my local English bookstore that usually carries MuscleMag to try and get an issue but they didn’t have any! I’d told my coworker that a guy I know on the internet (she then gives me a look) does the illustrations too.
So I did get another magazine about the legends of bodybuilding which led to a funny video:

LOL! That video rocks! I could hear you talk like that all day!
By the way… this is the most recently published 2-page spread I did. It was an article about Online dating.
It has to be either:
yourself
something really funny, like a gif of a guy getting jacked in the balls or otherwise owned…
or a hot thick chick shaking her booty.
Win for me.

I wasnt bullshitting you about admiring artistic people. I just know how life with kids and wife’s are, integrating the working world is always difficult. Working at home the only way to do it is like you have, I would love to set my own hours. I have to get up at 4:30 to lift and be at work by 7 would love to move that a little later and work out of the house. [/quote]
Thanks D.
You have so much more to be responsible for than I do with my one child (he’s just turned 18). My wife and I are on autopilot in our relationship and parental duties (it’s like 50/50) and the whole thing runs pretty smoothly. I imagine you and your lovely wife do the same… except 5x more! Working out of the house it seems should be something every employer should offer employees where it fits. Another aspect of it that I like is that I can live anywhere and still do what I do with the same clients.
I hope you can eventually do it.

DAMMIT!! You just blew my brain! I was looking at a MuscleMag a few months ago and saw he drawings that went with the news articles and knew I liked the clear, colorful style and just now that you said you did work for them I realize that it was you!
That’s neat.[/quote]
Thanks Nards! Yes, I do 20 small illustrations every month for a column called “Muscle Bites”. I also do a full 2-page spread illustration with 4-5 corresponding illustrations every other month or so. Robert Kennedy has been very good to me.
I might do a thread where I display the feature art I did for MuscleMag… just so you can see what you may have seen previously, and not know it was me.
lol

That is why I admire people with the talent you have. My degree and area of expertise requires I have to be in the office seeing patients. Dont think I want to have my practice out of the house. 
We are down to 2 kids at home, 14 and 19. The 19 year old is my wifes oldest who has Downs and honestly he has been the best and easiest kid to have.

If I were the queen of the forums, I’d ban animated avatars. They are often huge files, take way too much bandwidth to load and are visually distracting when you’re trying to read.

A lot of the time it’s worth it, Deb.

Very good point. Good luck though. All you’re gonna get is “Fuck you, I got rights.”
Mine is a picture of me, but it isn’t very revealing. You’re welcome for that.

here’s a toon I drew…It’s supposed to be a slightly idealized me with my woman. Watch out Iron Dwarf!

you have a pretty good base there, Nards! With a bit of instruction, you could do some nicely stylized cartoons.
Thanks!
I’ve tried drawing more realistic stuff but it’s really bad. I think my talent extends to just quick cute drawings.

You could be queen of the forums, just twitch those magic pants in your avi and make a wish.

Hey ID thought about this the other night.
My suggestion for Avatars is to have an avatar on this site send $20 to Iron Dwarf to make you one. [/quote]
I got mine for free and if I ever chose to change avs (which I’ve never done) I’d have to go with this custom drawn ID 'toon.
(I’m proud to call ID an e-friend)[/quote]
Thats why you and X win at the internet. And yes that suits you perfect for an Avi.

Didn’t you used to have a picture of yourself bloodied up pretty good from a fight?
I always thought that was a pretty cool avatar, especially when it was paired with your screen name.
That is me in my avatar, btw.
I don’t give any advice on this site anymore. I spend all of my free time stuck in a loop of futile arguments on PWI. But at least I work out, right?

Well, you’re certainly doing something right. I would be more inclined to listen to you and your nutrition/training ideology rather someone who has a phd, but never walked the walk. Some things you simply don’t learn reading off of paper.

Yeah Deb,… because your avatar pics aren’t too distracting when I’m trying to… uh,… I mean,… uh… read.

You look like that in Japan? You must get a lot of attention.

That’s putting it lightly.
The rumors you may have heard about Japan and Japanese people? They’re all true
