Missing Number

I still have never seen the movie NINE, but I really liked the characters I saw in the trailer for it and I made this one from memory.

It’s Not Always the “Other Guy”

Sometimes the “other guy” is you. Last Thursday my computer started acting a little wonky and then it stuck its tongue out at me and quit. To make a long story short, my computer fried and that pretty much put me out of business since I create my artwork on the computer. My biggest problem was that I had several jobs I was in the process of working on that were now locked inside a dead hard drive. Fortunately I had made a wise decision in 2009 and backed my computer up with Carbonite. I ran up to Best Buy and grabbed the biggest iMac they had sitting on the floor, came home, plugged it in, loaded Carbonite onto it and downloaded the files I needed to complete my jobs. I can’t recommend Carbonite highly enough. It’s almost idiot proof  ’cause I was able to make it work and I ain’t exactly a rocket surgeon… I mean a brain scientist… whatever…

Sneezer Augustus

It’s that magical time of year here in Northeastern Indiana. Snow and ice as I drive home last night, cars off in ditches, the road to my house closed with emergency vehicles,  I’m sneezing and coughing the entire way and the radio tells me there’s another four inches of snow headed our way on Saturday. It’s looking like another fabulous winter wonderland in Hoosierville.

Albert Einstein said, “dancers are the athletes of God”. Who knows what Albert would have said about dancing centipedes…

It seems to me that after this last election, you just don’t see as many blue dogs on the street as you used to…

Broadway Musical

Everyone sing… the Hills are Alive… with the Hound of Music…

Impossibly Happy Children?

A while back, ImagineFX Magazine posted a little blurb about my web site and made a comment on the (quote) “impossibly happy children” I drew. Who knows where these people come up with their crazy ideas…

iPad Brushes Portrait 1

So last night I was trying to watch the Texas Rangers win the American League Pennant against the Yankees because I helped build the Rangers Stadium with my tax dollars back when we lived in Arlington and I wanted to see how my investment was turning out… anyway, I’m not such a big baseball fan (not enough violent collisions or vicious cross checks) and I was having trouble sticking with the game, so I started flipping back and forth between the game and the Pirates Of The Caribbean movie on another channel, but that wasn’t working for me either, so I whipped out my iPAD and did this little picture to keep myself awake until the end of the game… and a RANGERS WIN!

…by the way, this fellow was the guest speaker at our church on Sunday…

iPad Brushes Gator

What I am discovering as I do these pictures on an iPad with a blunt little Pogo stylus, is that I have to work much looser than I usually do… and that’s probably not such a bad thing for me to do on a regular basis…

iPad Brushes Batman

I liked the way this one looked at this point, so I just stopped and said finished!

iPad Brushes Tiger

Here is one last experimental piece using the Brushes App on my iPad before I actually try to do something cool with the program. I think I have finally found my “go to” brush through this process, which was the main reason for doing these first pictures.
