Does anybody remember Reasonable Doubts, that show starring Marlee Matlin as an assistant D.A. and Mark Harmon as a cop? I loved that show. Tuned in not so much for Harmon but because I was a huge Marlee Matlin fan, but he was good in it too. That was ages ago... I've been hoping that, given how popular Jethro Gibbs is, those old episodes would've popped up on the net by now! But it looks like they've never been digitized (yet)? (The German title was bland as usual: "Die Staatsanwältin und der Cop".)

I have two pieces of SGA fanart inked. One should be really quick to color. The other one will be more tricky. I think the background needs to be done in Photoshop. I see the finished piece in my mind, and right from the start the background looked like it's done in PS. Hngh. Let's see how that works out. Foreground will be colored with watercolors though, so that shouldn't take too long.

Now that Windows 7 is out, I should start shopping for a new computer and scanner. All my data is properly secured on external HD and I'm good to go. I decided that my new computer won't have a tv/video card... I haven't missed tv all that much during the last year since this one fried; I'm either watching DVDs or mumblemuble. So I will take down my satellite dish and I will finally be able to tell our TV licence fee collecting agency to take their (sadly legal) money extortion schemes somewhere else. Well, I'll still have to pay fees for radio and computer, but at least I no longer will have to pay those outragous tv fees for programs I haven't watched in ten years. I don't listen to German radio either but those few Euro a month will hurt much less.

work wise, I finished another book last week. The cover is still missing 'cause I have to wait for the greenlight, but all the inside illus are done.
Here are some scans... not from that book. These from the one that was kicking my ass all through last winter, which has just come out (I can't believe it's been that long... time flies!)

I remember that series! Loved it too. I remember that a while ago I looked whether it was available on dvd, but it wasn't then. (And better bland titles than the bizarre ones. Like I have still no clue whatever they were thinking when they translated "I Spy" as "Tennis lieber als Kanonen"(?!))

Lovely illustrations! I especially love the octopus, and the poor seasick sailor! And oh, they have a prisoner tied up below deck! And a monkey pulling his hair.

Looking forward to your SGA drawings!

lol. Tennisschläger und Kanonen. And I bet we could come up with even more ridiculous examples.

Yeah, I checked a while ago and came up with nothing. Figured I'd check again. I did just find two links for season one, that said "currently not available" so maybe it's in the works.

I'd love to rewatch it, and it'll be interesting to compare Harmon's two characters.

Lovely illustrations!

Thanks. :)

It's good to do fanart again. Haven't posted anything in... weeks! I drew one of them on the train yesterday; that was an enjoyable train ride.

Oooh, I'd never heard of Reasonable Doubts! But I loved Mark Harmon on NCIS and of course Marlee from The West Wing. Too bad the series isn't on DVD yet, I think you'd have to get someone to convert from VHS if they had the show taped.

Maybe that's what a few people did - I saw two or three offers for DVD sets on google, but the links were all outdated and no longer available, and they were from private sellers.

Harmon's character is really different. I liked him on RD but I never would've guessed that he would one day play a character like Gibbs. I was really surprised when I started watching NCIS.

Never seen West Wing but I loved Matlin on Picket Fences, too.
