Jellyzilla painting complete


Yesterday, my lovely wife and I sat up and did some painting. I decided to work on number 2 of my series that I am calling "canvas buddies" on thick 4x4 canvas. I hope to add to the collection as time goes on. I don't very often get the chance to paint as much anymore so this was fun.

#47 - Camo-Kevin


Just came back from the great fun of the Summer smARTshow in the Flatiron Arts Building in Chicago's Bucktown/Wicker park. Loads of fun artists to look at and keep me inspired to at least keep doing something.

Today's "ink" is a snake trying to disguise himself as something friendly......I should have drawn in some regular looking ballons floating by to get the idea across better...oh well.

#46 - RickyRaccoon


On my way back from work today pulling out my pens and sketchbook I began to ponder about Raccoons. If they were in the mob it wouldn't be clean cut and civilized, it would be down and dirty, no need to dress up.

#44 - Ghost of Bomani



I'm not sure where the Egyptian theme came from today but here it is. In retrospect I wish I had left the headdress off and done a normal dog's head. I guess that can be the beauty of using pens that the first thing that oozes into my brain is what I am left with.

BTW according to the "internets" Bomani is an Egyptian name for "warrior"

My first hat

My thanks go out to the guys at Ink-Hound for deciding to pick up and print my hat design. It's not quite what I mocked up, and though I am slightly disappointed I know they have to work with the constrains of their printing methods....so kudos for the great job they did do.

#43 - ChicagoSky



Yes, that's right, this is called Chicago sky because all that is on my mind lately and everyone else here is "how can it be June and so cold and wet. I get on the bus and every person I walk by says the same thing "can you believe it, It's already June and if feels like March," I sure hope summer starts soon...
