Abstract Art!

I've been playing with some abstract images lately and here are some of the results. I've had a blast doing this in Photoshop. What a great program for doing this sort of art. Let me know what you think of this new direction. Please leave comments on my blog. I needs more of the feed back on this site. Thanks! See you next posting!

Sunday Kayaking!

Wow, what a busy weekend.
I had a physical at my doctor's office on Saturday. Worked on new art for my graphic novel. Went to a friend's birthday party.
Sunday I had some errands to take care of after waking up to a huge allergy attack. Swollen face, itchy mouth and nose, lots of snot and sneezing...
Then there was fun kayaking on Lake Washington with my friends Karisma and Jamie. We went out for Thai food after three hours on the lake and Cedar River. I met a very nice woman when I was coming out of the river. Thanks for the sweet smile Amanda and the nice conversation.
More art next posting and it will be sooner!

Another NEW painting!

A blast from the past in a way. I actually finished this painting in March of this year but haven't shown it yet.
This was done from a sketchbook page dating back to July of 2006. Holly and I were at a park in Bellevue on the 4th taking it easy and enjoying the day with a picnic. I brought my sketchbook and she brought a book to read. When I was almost finished with the sketch I asked her what she thought and she said, "Can you put a little white scoty dog in one of the squares?" I did just that and promised her that if I ever made a painting of this that I would include the little white dog. And there it is the lower right corner.

New Doodles from the grind...

Yes sir eee, a new batch from some meetings I've attended. Each one has a title and a bit of a story but I'll let you figure that out. I haven't posted much in the last month or so but I hope to post more stuff in the coming months. Drop by often!

Graphic Novel sneak peek...

Here are 3 pages from my graphic novel that are between a quarter and a third of the way through the book. This sequence is part of nightmare that one of the main character has. Her dreams are horrific. I don't want to give away too much here. I put off posting any final pages with text until I have enough free time to work on that aspect of it. I will be back at doing that come summer, when I have more free time. Till then I'm continuing to reformulate the outline and drawing all the panels I need to tell the rest of the story. I hope you will stay tuned to see what will come of it all.

DIA Diego Rivera Mural in Detroit!

0





This is my all time favorite thing to see when I visit my sibs in Detroit. It's inside the Detroit Institute of Art, down the street from Tiger stadium, Ford Field, Greek Town and Fox Theater. The first time I saw it was when I was on a field trip in grade school. Actually several field trips from grade school to Jr. High. I don't know why my sibs didn't ever get that trip when they were in school. Maybe they had a sick day. Anyway, here are some photos of it from my trip to Detroit this last week. Enjoy.

Back from Dee-troit!!

I was in Dee-troit for the last week to visit with sibs and attend a wedding. My nephew wedded his long time girlfriend Josie. It was a terrific wedding and we all had a great time that night. I also got to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the DIA and go to Ann Arbor's UMMA to see more great art. They had a terrific Architecture exhibit of recent famous buildings around the world. Really impressive! I also got to have some incredible food at some great Greek restaurants. Thanks to my brother Scotty for allowing me to stay his comfortable home for all those days and to Cookie for driving me all over the place. (LOL)
