The Mermaid Was Usually Bored

little cartoon... I love to knit.

Using Procreate on my iPad... I love it.

Recent Work

In November, I was scribbling on large sheets of paper with Sharpies, and couldn't figure out what to do with them... until a few weeks ago. I plastered this one onto a canvas and painted over it and had fun, not worrying about wrinkles in the paper or anything else. 

Sketchbook

I've become more interested in just sketching people around me. Big, small, fat, thin, tall, short and everything in between. I guess I'm seeing a sort of beauty in paying attention to the details... Here's one from my sketchbook, done in Sketchbook Pro. i'm using my new Jot Classic stylus, and I love it. I don't love the clicking noise it makes as it bumps against the Gorilla Glass on the iPad, but, then again, I'm usually listening to a tWit podcast anyway, so it is more likely to annoy those around me.

Sweet sentiments

This is for an article at the Big Hitter Club. I enjoyed doing this one, using a photo and doing my own type overlay. Not a traditional illustration, but it works for the purpose.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN SOMEONE LOVES YOU?

 A squibble is an invented word for the microfiber cloth used to clean eyeglasses. It's just easier to say squibble.

Shifting Gears

My mom has been attending a workshop with Bob Burridge this week, and she loves his work and his workshops. She's been sending me her "loose" acrylics and I've been enjoying seeing her work. This morning I thought...could I do that on my iPad? I'm posting one of hers and one of mine based on the look of what she sent to me, and you can be the judge. Does it work, or close, but just not the same...?

Staying on track

OK, so not such a pretty thought, but, don't make excuses. They don't help anyone...and no one really believes them anyway. So don't make excuses, even to yourself.

Here's Larry's post...

Recent Work...

Illustrating stories and ideas written by others can be a challenge, but I'm enjoying it. Lately, I've learned more about sports and had to think more about symbols than ever. Here are some recent pics from The Big Hitter Club again, and you can be sure to see my work there at least a few times each week. I hope you enjoy...

Also, if you click on any picture, it will take you to the associated blog post at the Big Hitter Club...

Me at 80...

For a post at The Big Hitter Club. I just hope that when I'm 80, the computers are a little more Minority Report... or maybe I'll just have a chip implanted...
