If you’re an artist and live anywhere near Fort Wayne, Indiana you might want to visit our church. You get a free pen and drawing paper when you walk in the door!!
So here’s something I think is going to be totally awesome. Rick Cantu is using a picture I did back in 2014 and turning it into a 3-D lighted sculpture. I love it. Ha! The brass tube front legs will be where he runs… Continue Reading “Ole PumkinHead”
Bob decided it would probably be a whole lot easier to forage for mushrooms at his local grocery store.
I’ve been known to play a game or two on my phone when no one is looking. I’ve also been known to draw the characters in the games that I am playing on my phone when no one is looking. This is Gillie The… Continue Reading “Dewport Guard”
I’m old school when it comes to drawing. I still enjoy using a pencil and paper, but I love to apply color digitally. I’ve been posting 30 second videos on Instagram lately of some quick color sketchbook stuff I’ve been doing with the Procreate… Continue Reading “Importing Images Into Procreate”

One of the neat things about the game is the ability to customize your team and my… Continue Reading “Playing Some Weird iPad Football”
Last Sunday the pastor’s sermon was entitled “RELEASE THE HURT” so I immediately started my sermon notes with a pixie and a viking getting ready to “release the hurt” on somebody. Much to my surprise, the sermon went in a totally different direction than I had envisioned.… Continue Reading “Release The Hurt”
Once a year I seem to go on a rant about the iPad and how I wish it were a better device for mobile digital painting. All I’m wanting to do is collapse into a chair in my living room in front of a football… Continue Reading “My Annual Ipad Digital Painting Rant”
