White Winter Hymnal

I got the idea for this sketch when I was listening to the song "White Winter Hymnal" by Fleet Foxes. So, I guess this is a fan art sketch.



Here is the song. I am trying Grooveshark this time.

Shankill Kitties

Our little 9 month old cat, Bella, wants to get out. The wife and kids want the cat to be an "indoor kitty".
So I try to warn her of the dangers of the world, to no avail.
I also sing a modified version of Shankill Butchers to her.
It's a song by the The Decemberists, but I like this cover by Sarah Jarosz. The song is worth a listen!

Today's sketch

This is the only way I could figure out how to get this song on this post. This sketch is at least partly inspired be this song. Gee, I miss Seeqpod.

BTW, I can't say enough about The Decemberists. I am a real fan of this group. :)

Just some sketches and a song

A caricature, (I think I spelled that right), of my brother and his son, my nephew.




This was a pencil sketch colored with the computer.

Mykonos from Grandchildren on Vimeo.

Here is a song I kind of like. The video is cleaver, also. The name of the group is Fleet Foxes.

Gandhi on a skateboard, Dire Wolf and The Pogues

Hello to all. Here are a few things I have been into lately.



Gandhi on a skateboard. Another in my historical musings.




A continuation of an idea.



Last, I saw this video and thought I would link to it. Probably my favorite song by The Pogues

De Gaulle on a Segway

I did this one earlier this week. It is just a continuation of the cartoons I posted on February 23.



And here is a very loose doodle I did after hearing this song. It had been a while since I heard it. More an idea, really.

The Tripplets of Belleville

Hi, I just saw a great French cartoon, "The Tripplets of Belleville". Great Style, interesting and all of that, but the thing I appreciated most was their portrayal of the dog. Very funny.
Here is the Trailer.

One Simple Two Panel Cartoon

Just a simple cartoon about our new kitten, Bella.
The good news for her is I don't lift my feet up high enough to step on her. The bad news for her is she has to wear a bell on her neck so I know where she is at. That way I won't trip on her. :)
It's just mechanical pencil on notebook paper.

Three simple cartoons

Just having some fun here with three real simple cartoons. I think they are all self explanatory. :)

Merry Chrismas and.....

The barn's on fire!




This is a marker cartoon that I drew for my friend Dave for a Christmas card. It's based on a running joke about us old guys.

I guess you would have had to have been there.........
