WTFday

Here are some drawings to make you ask WTF?

Imagine my hand wandering across the paper like a car with no driver occasionally leaving one of these.

Drawn from the id.

id |id| noun Psychoanalysis the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest. Compare with ego and superego . ORIGIN 1920s: from Latin, literally ‘that,’ translating German es. The term was first used in this sense by Freud, following use in a similar sense by his contemporary, Georg Groddeck.

IF-CRACKED

It's been a long time since I contributed to Illustration Friday forum. The topic this week was CRACKED. How could I let that pass? Well, I almost did.

WW2 CALVARY MAN

I painted this acrylic sketch for a get well card my wife gave her 92 year old uncle Rudy. He was in the U.S. Calvary in W.W. II before they transformed it into an Armored division. He's a great guy and lived through some of the best and worst times this country's seen. I used an internet photo for reference so this doesn't actually look like him.

Face Sketches

These are sketches done while I was scanning art. I then scanned them and colored them in Photoshop. I used the brushes there to simulate a kind of watercolor painting technique. Why?
1. Creative personal amusement.
2. Research and development.
3. To post here for whoever may tune in.

POSTCARDS FROM SPACE

These are sketches for paintings I might actually paint.

It seems like the long train wreck of our economy is finally coming to it's conclusion. We knew it was coming and we knew it was bad, but it was hoped I guess, that the markets would work it all out. Big surprise. Here's your bill.

DRAWIN' ME OUT

Word on the street is I've been neglectin' the blog too long.
Been caught up in a complex web of conspiracy to drive me mad.
In other words, I've been busy with freelance.
