For this Post It Post I've decided to focus on another of my favorite things...the life and death struggle of one Mr. John Connor and Company. I've been a fan of the "Terminator" series on movies ever since I saw ... http://troy-g.com/2009/06/01/ill-be-back-wait-i-am/ I know it's been some time since my last Post It Post, or let alone a Post for that matter, put here I am, back with a NEW one for your viewing pleasure. In this Post It Post, I guess you learn that you should only bet on those things ... http://troy-g.com/2009/04/28/and-their-off/ Several years ago while employed at my previous job, my main responsibility for the most part was designing Textile repeats & artwork for the Tabasco Sportswear Collection and various other apparel collections. However, occasionally I was asked to do other side jobs as well. One such case was when I ... http://troy-g.com/2009/04/06/tiny-tabasco/ Several years ago when two of my friends got married, Ron and Emily, I draw and painted for them a wedding portrait for their gift.

The assignment was to cross two items, one a living creature and the other an inanimate object, and then find ... http://troy-g.com/2009/03/26/man-thats-just-fowl/ So recently I was going through a stack of old drawings, searching for something specific when I came across one of my old sketch books from college.
