Blind Contour Furday - Take 2

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

Click the picture to see the rest of the comic book about my often-thwarted attempts to draw Cat Mandu, our 21 year old brown tabby who stays alive through sheer orneriness, attitude and daily youth injections. You’d think with the amount of time I spend nursing and kowtowing to her she’d have a little compassion […]

Not again

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

Fire season has begun in So. California. The good news is that so far only one structure has been endangered and only one firefighter injured. The bad news is that 17,000 acres have been consumed and the season is young. We still have months of Santa Ana winds to go before the rainy season kicks […]

Illo Friday - Fresh

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Click image for larger
This is for the Illustration Friday “Fresh” theme. It’s not a new drawing, so I guess that makes it semi-stale. But it’s a really good recipe if you want to try it!
Soak 1/2 cup 9 grain cereal (granular, not flakes) in about 1/2 cup water
Do this about 45 min. before starting […]

A little perspective. Very little.

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

I suck at perspective, which is why I rarely draw or paint anything that includes it.
Dogs? No perspective there. Cats? No vanishing point worries - how do you foreshorten something that’s bathing like a maniac?
Clouds? There’s no horizon in the sky. (Hmmm … sounds some moldy folk song there.) But I digress.
I am a slacker, […]

Return of the Cloud People

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

A sure sign of fall. The overheated days of summer are gone, and the coolness is bringing in rank upon rank of clouds.
I couldn’t resist taking time for a little painting.

Givin me the wild eye

Sunday, September 25th, 2005

I was vacillating all week about what I was going to do for the “Draw an Eye” challenge for the Everyday Matters group, and I finally decided to paint the excessively large eyes of my American she-bulldog, Ripley. I don’t know if it’s a birth defect or a characteristic of the breed but Ripley’s very […]

Eight Art Journal Pages

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

I’ve scanned some of my recent journal pages and uploaded them to my “other” site. Here’s the link, or click the image.
These are a collection based on the Katrina event and my interpretation of it, in a visual form. There’s some duplication of things previously posted here, but at least half are new.
If you’d like […]

Blind Contour Friday - keyring

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

My keyring, drawn for Blind Contour Friday. Yes it really is that long and dangly, with a pop can opener, a whistle, and once upon a time a small Swiss army knife. I took it off because I was sure one day I’d have it confiscated for accidentally flying with it. House keys, my aunt’s […]

Illo Friday - Escape

Escape Conformity

blue

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

First, some acrylic paint on paper, then a rough sketch with a graphite stick. Later, some whiting from a caran d’ache crayon.
Big Mike is home safely from his European trip. He was supposed to have landed at LAX at the same time that yesterday’s Jet Blue Airbus was making its emergency landing and took […]
