new blocks

It's that time again!  More blocks, the latest art brownie project show opens today.  Originally intended as rabbit ears, it was suggested to me I make them into a stool, so I thought why not!  Here you can see both versions.  It also makes a great hat!  (see below)  I painted this background (digitally) for fun because the photo I took was "messy".  The tablecloth (on which the photo was taken) makes a neat floor/carpet pattern, wouldn't you say?  Although I admit it's not entirely "natural" looking, it was a fun way for me to display the piece.

Yo-Yo Hall

Another editorial cartoon based on current local news...  scrapping bike lanes that already existed (why not just leave them and save the cost?) and imposing a tax on plastic bags, then banning plastic bags altogether, only to reverse the decision entirely!  Wacky!

Thika Toka Iringa Ford

Editorial cartooning...  Just did this up today in response to the local news.  Woke up to the news of the elephants on the radio this morning, and combined that with the news of Ford on Monday.

Remembrance

Sorry, will post later.

Happy Halloween!!

I was playin' around in photoshop and out came these 2 things:  Martian pumpkins invade Earth!  And the other a more earthly pumpkin, with a sort of wonky face.

Set painting for live theatre...

I recently did some background painting for live children's theatre.  It was a fun experience.  There was a path down a "dark forest" and one down a "light forest"- I did the "light forest".  The play also involved a princess who has a portfolio full of her "fashion illustrations"- just a few quick sketches were needed, this is one of the ones I contributed for fun...

Square Feet

I participated in The Square Foot Show, for which the opening was last night; it was packed!!  Got totally soaked in a storm on the way home, ahhhh summer.  This was the piece I showed, painted in acrylic and gouache on wooden panel.  You can check it out at Twist Gallery or check out awolgallery.com for more details.
