        <![CDATA[<p><strong>AUCTION ENDS AUGUST 27 ... CURRENT BID IS ONLY $25</strong> ... COME ON FOLKS ...<br />
let's raise some money for a good cause!!</p>

<div align="center"><img src="/images/woodeniguana1/01-preview.gif" border="0" /></div>

<p>Want your very own copy of the first issue of Wooden Iguana?  How about the Sketchbook used to create it?</p>

<p>I have donated the original sketchbook (much as losing it pains me) and a laser-print copy of this issue (a nice, colour laser print ... for those "in the know" about graphics, it's a 300 dpi version ... not just a printout of the webpages) ... anyhow, I've donated the sketchbook and a nice print copy of issue one to <a href="http://isurvive.org/index.php" target="_blank">iSurvive.org</a> to help them raise some funds.  iSurvive is a wonderful resource for people struggling to cope with abuse issues.  There are people there from all over the world ... they've got resources for review, various categories in their forum for people to post and discuss their issues and even a chat feature.  They're a non-profit organization who has recently changed their software ... and believe me, they help a lot of people.  They have to pay for the software, for bandwidth ... a technician to help keep everything running ... and I don't know what all else.  I do know that they serve a very valuable function to a lot of people.</p>

<p>And I'd like to do a little bit to help them continue.</p>

<p>So ... while letting that sketchbook go is a really hard thing for me ... that's got some pieces that I'm extraordinarily proud of in it ... it's all going to an excellent, excellent cause.</p>

<p>If you're interested ... you can see some photos of the sketchbook <a href="/images/sketchbook/index.html">here</a> ... and you can address any questions to me: red DASH monkey AT coyotethunder DOT com.  </p>

<p>If you want to bid, you can send your bid to: isurvive_org AT yahoo DOT com .  Please, please, put Auction Bid in the subject and please, please please don't spam them.  They're a good organization, good people.</p>

<p><strong>Auction ends August 27, 2007.</strong></p>

<p>You can check the current status of bids in the Open Forum section of the iSurvive site ... or you can email me for an update.</p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>]]>

Copic, Copic multiliners and pencil.

<p>The conclusion of issue one ... since issue two has not yet been scripted, much left roughed out ... it will be a while before you see new-ness here.  However, I do plan to put roughs and various character sketches here to tide you over.  <br />

<h2>Notes:</h2>
This page was done solely in Photoshop after I tore up an endless number of sketches, none of which looked anything like what I had in my head.  While I don't do a ton of drawing digitally, I adore my Wacom tablet and it really came in handy here.

<p>Sorry for the late updates.  Last week was a serious kick in the pants as downsizing took its toll once again.  Then, there was the scanner which didn't wanna talk to the computer (turned out that Photoshop had simply stopped listening to the scanner and had to be re-loaded).  Then, the networking issues ... blah blah blah.  <br />

<h2>Notes:</h2>
The usual mix here ... Copics, Copic Multi-liners, Pigma Microns ... the newspapers were done in Photoshop.  If you've never seen the UK Photoshop Creative mag, it is amazing.  I found an issue whilst on vacation last year and it is just amazing.  They had the best tutorials, one of which was creation of an old newspaper.  And, they include the images you'll need for their tutorials on a CD.  The best thing is that the tutorials are excellent, well explained ... and still leave plenty of room for your own creative touches.]]>

<h2>Notes:</h2>
Done in pencils, Pigma Microns, Copic Multiliner and then a bit of a cheat ... colour bits were done in Illustrator after I got incredibly cranky with the entire page and decided that I hated the globe I'd drawn ... after I went to Illustrator for a clip art globe, I also snagged a rainbow as well.  I was simply too tired of obsessing over this page to do anything else.  Frustrating because I did like the globe I'd done in pencils ... but I was simply too tired to colour it and the rainbow the way I wanted to ... I finally decided it was more important to let this page go than to be a perfectionist about one detail.  *sigh*

<p>Only 6 more pages until the end of issue one!<br />
