Skull in a leopard skin pill box hat and a comic strip about Bee writing Oprah

This sketch was done with a a Pilot Precise V7 pen and some really crappy, all but dried out markers that were lying around the house here. 

I have been listening to Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" album some as of late. There is a song on the album called "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat". This was just me riffing on that song a bit. 

Also, here is a very quickly done little comic strip based on a conversation I had with Bee this week. Bee loves okra, I, on the other hand, do not. (!!!!!) In my imagination Oprah doesn't either.

BTW, okra is a vegetable here in the States.

Still here, a pencil cartoon colored in Photoshop.

Hello! Just a quick one, a card of sorts to say I am still around. There has been a lot of stuff going on around me lately, some good, some bad. So, as a result I haven't been able to draw, doodle, sketch or paint. Hopefully things will settle down a bit.

A couple of Birthday cards for August, one Dragon Boat and one Grateful Dead.

I just made a couple of birthday cards today. One is for Aunt Bee, who is on a dragon boat racing team this year. And one for another family member. Both birthdays are coming up this week.

Both were done in pencil. Cleaned up and enhanced with Photoshop. 

For the skeleton I used a circus ring master's coat and hat.

A sketch from a dream, a birthday card and one just for fun.

This image popped into my brain as I was falling asleep last night. I didn't get it quite right , but came kind of close. It is not supposed to make sense or have any kind of meaning, just came to me as I was falling asleep.

This next one was for a quick birthday card. Just pencil with a touch of Photoshop.

And this last one was just for fun.  

1960 Rambler American surf wagon

I haven't drawn a lot of cars, but they are sure fun to draw. This one was penciled, inked and colored with Photoshop. I got the back round image from Morguefile, an awesome site with images that are free to use. If you do use Morguefile be sure to read the rules.

Sorrow, a pencil doodle that turned into a sketch.

This one is a bit strange, I know. It was just a pencil doodle that got it's own life. I don't know if that makes any sense, but that's the only way I could describe it. I added the grey back round with Photoshop.

If snails could fly

Hi, all. This is just a what would it look like sketch that I inked and colored with Photoshop.

Posting a .png file to see what it looks like.

I was wondering how to save and post images as a cut out only. I have been admiring some other online artists works where they have done this. The answer is pretty simple, actually. Take your image in Photoshop and make the back round blank. If you save your cut out image as a .png file then it will show online as a cut out. With no border other than the one Blogspot put around it.

Here is a video from 1979. Lene Lovich. I find her style and expressions interesting. I like this song, too. 

A Feral Cat from the Days of Old, a cartoon.

Hi, to anyone stopping by. I've been out of it for a while...

I just worked through this idea. I got just a glimpse of the cat in my imagination, but not the full picture. If that makes any sense at all.

Lately I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen's new album "Wrecking Ball". It is streaming on the internet in various places. It's great!

I kind of like this slide show, but be advised there are a few signs on the video that use some harsher language. 

Ganster Cat

This was a pencil sketch inked and colored with Photoshop. I got the backround from Morguefile.com. I could not find the photographer to credit, but it was free to use.
