Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories…

Noam

Since there are only 15 gigantic books in the WHEEL OF TIME book series I decided hey, why not read it… I mean, how hard can reading 15 gigantic books be anyway? I’m currently on book 3 and came across a touching story about two brothers, Simion and Noam. Noam made a surprise appearance in my sketchbook this morning, so I decided to finish him up in Photoshop as I patiently wait for the January 2026 Snowpocalypse to hit Indiana.

I got some paint onto my clay sculpt…

…and here’s the gear this adventurer is packing.

This guy is based on a fellow I came up with back in 2011. You can see that old post HERE.

I found a polymer clay that I really like called COSCLAY. It’s a blend of plastic and rubber and it stays somewhat flexible after you bake it. It’s a hard product to find in brick ’n mortar stores but worth the postage fees online.

I live in northeastern Indiana close to towns with names like Goshen, Nappanee and Shipshewana. They have large Amish populations so this is a real common site in my neck of the woods. I love those big draft horses.

I’m having a lot of fun this summer growing gourds and creating things with them but I can’t fill this web site full of them so… if you want to see more of these guys, search Facebook for the BROTHERJONES GOURD FARM page. You’ll find all the latest farm news there!

Follow this LINK to my new BROTHERJONES GOURD FARM page and hit the like button or the follow button (whatever it is over there) if you don’t want to miss anything.

Gourdness Gracious

I was digging around on the back porch and found this old gourd with a hole in it hidden away on the bottom shelf of a cabinet. I turned it over and found an interesting design I had apparently carved into it at some point in time.

I put the missing leg back on, gave it a fresh coat of paint and added leather lacing around the top.

I tossed in some dirt and tah-dahhh… a new flower pot is born!

This process inspired me to build a gourd page over on Facebook. It’s currently under construction but you can take a sneak peak if you want at BrotherJones Gourd Farm.

Spring is right around the corner so I’m building wren birdhouses. Now I’m not sure if any self respecting wren is going to want to nest in one of my birdhouses… but that’s their call not mine.

I hinge all my birdhouses so housekeeping can come in after checkout and clean the rooms.

Gourds weigh next to nothing and it’s really windy here in Northeastern Indiana so I add rocks to keep them from blowing out of the trees.

Sometimes I play a game called Genshin Impact. I decided it was time for me to draw my main character, Jean Gunnhildr. This game is done in an anime style, so the Dennis Jones Jean looks pretty different than the Xbox game Jean.

Here’s my short little drawing video with a punchy soundtrack.

One last “then and now” before I get back to doing real work. I did this illustration back in the ’90’s. I can’t remember now what this bear was supposed to be… he’s wearing some sort of samurai outfit, has a viking braid, a European shield and some sort of Celtic wizard staff? I guess I was just trying to cover all the bases? …anyway, here’s my 2025 redo of this old piece of artwork.

Back in the 90’s, one of my favorite jobs to work on was a centerfold calendar/poster thing for E.C. Magazine. If it was a month like November you, of course, did Thanksgiving themed artwork… but if it was a month like August, they sometimes told me to just do whatever I wanted. I have no idea how this cowboy related to anything going on in August of ’96 but that’s what I came up with. I’m currently experimenting with my work process on the Procreate iPad App, so I took the opportunity to redo my old cowboy.
