Another thing I did in Deceember was push some acrylic paint around. Here are three results which I feel were somewhat successful. All three are on paper and the titles, in order, are CONVERSATION, DEPARTURE and EVENING. They're small, aproximately 4.25" X 5.25".

I am wishing everyone peace this Christmas because I still believe in putting the positive vibes out there. I remain optimistic despite it all, after getting ultrasound results back from the hospital and learning that I have what are likely cancerous growths on my liver, a not uncommon development following colon cancer, which I very much had. Here we go again. I meet with my oncologist the day after Christmas and shall proceed from there. Hey, I'm glad to be here and here is a little gouache painting I did over the last couple days. I suppose it's my Christmas card to everybody.  The rich endless tonal variation you can achieve with ink and the lines which gravity and capillary action cause ...so much better than television.   Kenyon, Lyric, Asher, Stephen and I jammed out on the 19th, for the final meetup of the summer/fall comic art class series. Here are some of the results:  I have learned a lot teaching cartooning once again, over the last few months at Willard Art & Frame and look forward to doing so again - with some changes. I might rearrange the sessions as well as hold off doing a series for a few months since Fall is here and the holidays will be on everyone's minds. I might host individual workshops. I am very fond of old school valentines and am wondering if a valentine making event would be interesting and fun for people.
I attended DUNE this evening, once again at Hugo House. I spent the first hour staring at my blank piece of paper, really just letting my mind reset after a very hectic day at the pawn shop and finally saw this brief scene play out in my imagination. With only three hours to draw it and hand it in, I went to it and, at about 8:00pm, decided it was finished. I did not intend it to be quite so Vaughn Bode meets Winsor McCay but there it is.  From Wired.com:
Here's what I came up with, back in March at the 88th Dune Minicomic night. It is based on a true incident which occured at work one afternoon! Last night was Dune Mini Comics Night at Hugo House again and this time I illustrated a text exchange between me and my wife Sarah from yesterday morning. I'm kicking myself for not drawing in a sad face emoji at the bottom of the text in panel two.   Here is my final piece, for session 3, after deciding on which text to pair with which image and coloring a separate blueline and then layering them together in GIMP. The text blocks are lines from Death Of A Salesman, selected completely randomly while flipping through an actors' edition of the play.  |
