Jack somehow (in a sketch to be created at a later date) has escaped the witch and is back on the river again.
This is a fitting drawing for my final piece as an Art Center student. Like Jack, I can look back at the many challenges and obstacles with a giant grin. It has been quite a journey for the both of us, but as always where one journey ends a new one begins.
Here are the usual process composition thumbnails:

Love your work. Jack was on a journey and I saw the eye of a storm. I loved the eye of the storm. See you soon. Can’t wait. How exciting. My Grandson is graduating from a top notch Art Center. You are quite an artist. Takes one to know one!!!!!!! ~ Love Grandma
I love the photo you have in your featured header… it looks like although everything is dangerous around him, he is still happy to be free.

What amazing work, I love these sketches.
Nice to see you around online
Jack back on the river ~ happy and heading one surf towards the dimensional crack into the amazing wonders of the exciting unknown… Wonderful!!
Jay, I retweeted this. I have not been into Twitter as heavily as I could be, have less that 200 followers, but I feel really strongly about your amazing talent and hopefully some of my friends will see this and get to know you and your work.
How you convey motion in your sketches really really blows me away.
@Grandma: It does take one to no one doesn’t it. When I think of the contributing element that made me an artist, you are high on my list. It was great having you out for graduation.
@Kikolani: You pretty much encapsulated my current situation in life… free of school, but with a perilous journey ahead. Thanks for stopping by. I so often enjoy your Fetching Friday posts.
@Haroun: Glad that you enjoyed the sketch.
@PrismAura: Into the breach we go and yes, there are many exciting unknowns ahead. Whether in a dimensional crack or anywhere else your support has meant so very much.
@Jannie Funster: I hope your twitter followers enjoy the sketch too. If they give you any feedback, I’d love to hear their thoughts. Ohhh, and if you are one of Jannie’s twitter followers reading this for goodness sakes don’t be shy and say something!!!
@Anybody and Everybody: The ART SCHOOL GRADUATION GIVEAWAY is still going on so anybody feeling like entering read the rules and have at it.
Jacks looks so happy. He’s on his way, oblivious to the storm and the wild torrents raging all around him. Surely that’s the right way to be.
This is a wonderful sketch, I love it! What damage can a storm do? What truly matters is the attitude towards the problem. We can stay optimistic about it or be gloomy before the situation becomes the problem itself. An image speaks louder than words. You are pure talent, Jay. I have a stumble for you! More good work on the way in coming new year, I hope?

Hey Jason!
Great to hear from you. How’ve you been since graduation?? Cool to hear about that piano piece you did. What’re you up to nowadays?
Love the sketch by the way. Awesome rhythms in the clouds and water–cute kid, too!!
Excellent! I do like how happy & free he looks, the emotion came through loud and clear!
@Chin Ya: You betchya! Keep your eyes peeled for some Jay Zuck art.
@Kat: Everything has been alright. I had a job working for this company called 3 Strand doing character design for a hush hush project, but they unceremoniously cut their character design budget. I have interviewed with Disney Consumer Products to do Character Design, but I was edged out by someone a little more experience. Art and life continues and I know some positive stuff is around the corner.
Ohh, and all of y’all check out Kat’s work. She is a phenomenal artist too!
