One For Old Time Sake
I got my start in the “professional” art world by drawing caricatures in amusement parks (you can read about it here) but I don’t really like to do caricatures because there’s too much pressure to capture a resemblance so it’s been a LONG time since I’ve done a caricature of ANYBODY… but it was kinda fun to do this one of a really good guy, Derwin Gray.
Hoggin’ The Biscuit
Sure, the pig was a pretty good stick handler, but no one else ever got a chance to shoot when he was on the ice.. he was a puck hog.
Early Riser
Fun fact… ducks typically get going very early in the day… usually at the quack of dawn.
Stuffed Teddy Bears
It was difficult to sell food at the teddy bear factory because no one was hungry… the teddy bears were already stuffed.
Call In The Expert
It was going to be a tough case to figure out, so the police commissioner assigned it to the alligator that always wore a vest. He was, after all, the very best inVESTigator they had.
Derwin Gray
When we moved to Indiana back in the 90’s, Derwin Gray played safety for the Indianapolis Colts. Today he is the pastor of Transformation Church in North Carolina. I’m currently listening to his sermon series on Jonah. I think he’s a pretty awesome preacher.
Five Minute Countdowns
I’m trying something a bit different on WorshipHouse Kids. I’ve loaded up a couple of five minute countdown videos that feature me drawing a picture from start to finish. I call them Drawing Board Countdowns. I don’t know if this will be anything people have a need for… but ya never know until you try. Here’s a condensed 20 second version of it.
Scientifically speaking
A little known fact about dinosaurs… one of them was such a bad driver, scientists nicknamed it Tyrannosaurus Wrecks.
Sermon notes 07/18/21
Last Sundays sermon was based on the little boy who gave his lunch of two fish and five delicious buttermilk biscuits to Jesus to feed a crowd of 5000. I was only able to get one of those two fish drawn before the end of the service. It woulda taken a miracle to get both of them drawn…
The Cheating Little Cheater
A few years ago I created a comic book based on the Biblical story of Zacchaeus called THE CHEATING LITTLE CHEATER. I made it so I would have something to sell at a comic-con I was doing in Kokomo, Indiana. I only have one of those little comic books left. Recently, I tore it apart digitally and reassembled it as a motion video. That version of the comic book is now available at WorshipHouseKids for churches to use…
…and if you should want one, it plays on personal tablets as well.
time lapse sermon notes
When I’m scheduled to play guitar or bass at church it’s a REALLY long haul. My church does three services on Sundays so I typically roll out of bed around six in the morning and then leave church around one in the afternoon. After the first service, I hang out in our green room with the rest of the band and singers to make sure we’re all on the same page and don’t need to make any changes. For the second and third services I usually sit in the congregation and draw on my iPad… I mean… take NOTES on my iPad. We are currently going through a sermon series on the book of John and here’s my iPad sermon notes from last Sunday.
Pool Party
CowaBunga!
Forrester
Bob decided it would probably be a whole lot easier to forage for mushrooms at his local grocery store.
Summer Time
It’s officially June so I guess summer is kinda here… let the chariot races begin!
Headed To The show
No, this is not a self portrait… but I did have a white belt just like that in high school… and a mustard colored leisure suit now that I think about it… and some blue and yellow suede platform shoes… and several very stylish long collar shirts with puffy sleeves…
…maybe this is a self portrait and I just didn’t know it.
