I always have a problem when relating to other people because I always have opinions. I might have tempered them down with age but they are always there. Just don't have a good answer for you on why  I am like this. Is it the fact that I have an opinion or is it I do not have yours? Can't really tell you but if you want my opinion........

It rained today, work did not go well and I came home and sketched. This sketch was done with graphite in less than a minute and then colored with the computer. It's clean. I don't have to wash brushes and sometimes I like color. This is nice and quick because today work did not go well.

Quick study of Civil War soldiers in graphite. Click for larger image 

I feel caught in the movement of a moment.

I drew this picture from my head since I was a kid.

There's comfort in familiarity

It would not be unheard of for me to go back, back to this theme.

Drawing has always been a tool to help me learn and know.

I remain curious of those days

even now, even as I grow older.

The walk; a fast sketch in graphite. Pandora playing in the background on this rainy Sunday. Great time for a quick sketch and a little problem solving. There are other ideas at work here as I explore a couple of new avenues. I'll show you once I can prove to myself it's not a sin.

As I was telling a friend my goal is to do, and put up' a sketch-a-day. Being I know me, sometimes I will have to yank something out of the past then proceed to lie about it. Nobody reads this stuff so I am only lieing to myself. This has got me this far so why stop now? Things you do as an unemployeed surfer when the ocean is flat is to come up with ideas for money... money for girls, borritoes and sex wax. This was one series which I even created a 'rejected' comic book. So, trust me, I drew this today (nudge-nudge wink)

Work was hot. At one point I closed my door and lay on the floor. Shirt wet from the little sweat shop created in the corner for me and my staff was exceptionally uncomfortable today. My ill self needed to focus on something other than the eyes that currently were rolling into my head. Let me let you in on a little secret. What do you think your bosses think of when they appear in deep thought?

I can't get no satisfaction is on the radio, talk tomorrow.

I have the tendency to take things too far. I need to pull the reigns back but don’t know how. I’ll take it all the way to the point I break it.

Sometimes ideas just don't come.

Like now. I'm clueless and questioning 

"Lord, why?"

And then I realize he's on the phone.

Women control art. Picasso painted an awesome, realistic Napolean and his generals at Waterloo. War and the guy thing. Later on he would do some 20,000+ so called masterpieces. I know this was to impress some babe. This sketch today is a protest sketch.  Feel the angst all you woman who hold my art in relation to their couch? In doing this I will probably die lonely with cats.

Easter

Hurry! There's not much time. Take me to the river.

Inside the wall's a window.

 Through this window I gaze.

Upon this gaze I ponder, 

Lost inside a maze.

Sometimes I move along quickly,

While sometimes I stumble and fall,

and Sometimes I stand at the window

That's placed within a wall.

Great time to scribble. Todays doodle started out as a circle then ended up a sugar free ice cream bar, Eskimo to be exact.....like hands! Next time you look at a piece of art from someone, look at hands. Depth, dimensions, planes, scale, there's emotion and personality carried in how the artist relates hands. God! There I go trying to sound smart again, my bad!

Blue girl represents my admiration of everyone from Shiele to Crumb. Ok! Bulls&#t . Best I can describe it as I put the pen to paper, it did something and then I looked around for a way to justify it. It's porn... period....but lets call it art just for the sake of it.
