Some Flowers.

I've noticed lately how much pleasure i'm getting out of things that i never showed much interest or respect for in my past. Two of the more obvious things are arranging flowers and cooking. Here are some flowers.

Merry Christmas, Everybody

Trick or Treat for Xmas

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

a mega-man sized post

came across an old sketch book. major, major water damage. as a result, much of the paper has been ruined. after much thought, i have decided to remove every respectable drawing from the book and scan them in order to get some level of preservation. and now, i share some with you.

Great Article about Hockey

probably not too well known, but the detroit red wings organization was involved in a lot of player defections from russia (some involving car trunks and border crossings) ... Also some bits in here about Detroit moving to the Eastern Conference, etc.

A Nother Paint Ing

Sorry for the glare on the pic ... Not an enormous fan of this one ... i like it, but it had been sitting around too long, unfinished and what you see is the finished work.

Here I Come.

Here's my One.
Also a hockey Clip. You gotta watch it all to see s good close up reply. Sneaky swedes.

New angle, maybe

I think I have to try to be straight faced and aligned(as) perfectly (as possible) with the camera for this project to have the end result i'm looking for.
here goes 2.0.

One A Day

Pics, Pics, Pics!

Here are some nice pictures. Had to empty out my memory card.

Today started out very very poorly, but i'm watching preseason hockey online as i post and it feels like my day is evening out a bit. At the very least, the doom and gloom has parted ways to reveal a few silver linings. Anyway, Enjoy.

pretty flewwers i put together

In all my Morning Glory

I'm Late, I'm late, I can't believe I'm late!

Sorry for the delay. I've had more important issues than the upkeep of my brog going on.
But, here we go.

OMG! WTF?!

And Then There Were Two

Well, one new one and one improved-quality pic of the other one. Lemme know what you think.

crappy quality pic.
may rework a couple of areas, but overall ... insanely happy with this painting.
more to come.

Another!

I finished a new painting today. Makes me happy. That's why I look gay in this picture.
I promise. And that is paint on my face, too. NOT a huge cold sore.
I'll post pics of the painting tonight or tomorrow.

One a Day Late

here's yesterdays pic.

All wrong, all wrong

Today was a ruff day. Everything went wrong. Email, phone, camera, traffic, arguments, lunch, coffee ... all of it.
Here's my pic and some links that are starting to make me happy again:


Some nice paintings

Got stuck on death.

One A Daze

So, as an exercise in narcissistic copy-catism, I am hereby starting a project of epic-ly boring proportions which i saw someone else do somewhere else online.
Every day I will be taking a picture of myself and posting in here on my brog. Hopefully, if i do not die of boredom, in a year or more i will have a nice set of documentation on my steady path towards The Ed*.



*originally a typo for "The End", I reverted to the error when i realized it helped take the morbid edge away from the post. plus i like the silly humor of it.

A few more things i think are nice

paintbrush of the future
umm ... wow.
some neat drawings here

Some Vacation Photos

Here'e the link for some nice pics from our trip to Seattle.

My First Broggle

No shit. thefreedictionary.com contains that gem of a definition for brog.
Anyway, I started making these little magnets that I've been sticking on my fridge.
I'm hoping to get a whole bunch of them made in the next 3 months.
I'll take pre-orders at orders@ryanstiner.com ;)
Pics, as they say, after the jump

a long, long time ago

Look out, Atoms! Gamera just got a new camera!

new website in the pipes

so, i'm thinking about taking this image (a more tightly drawn one) and flash animating it to make it the new ryanstiner.com. the idea would be that each "poster" (which will more than likely end up being collage and not hand-drawn) will be highlighted upon mouseover and be the links for the separate galleries and subsequent pages. lemme know what you think in the comments section.

Conversational Tid-Bits pt.2

so courtney sez to raul "did you ever read conversations with god?"
raul, "yes, but i didn't finish it"
courtney, "me neither, but i get from it that god created the universe to kind of see himself in action"
ryan, "is that kind of like putting a mirror on the ceiling above yer bed?"

Mulligan

so it looks as though i'll be reworking those three pages for Hey, Mister that you see below.
the head honcho at Top Shelf felt that i should spend more time working on the subtleties of comic book illustration and that it would be in the best interest of the overall product for me to keep on practicing until i feel that i've really hit my stride. that way, said stride won't be absent from the first chunk of the book.
i'm a little relieved, as i felt that i pushed these first pages out like a big bm instead of letting them ease out like a little bm.

My FLICKR Page

Hey Mister, Stinerized!!!!

Here are the first three finished pages for Hey, Mister in "Hellhound on my Couch"

Hey Mister Page

so there are still a few edits that i need to make on this page ... but for the most part this is a finished page, ready to be scrutinized and picked at by fanboys and critics the world-round.

rome sketches

just a couple of sketches i found that i did in my brief time in Rome ... i may end up posting some photos later ... depending on my time.
