Had To Get Out My Works, Today

Unlike a heroin junkie, though, a bike junkie's works consists of patches, sandpaper and rubber cement rather than a spoon and a hypodermic.

Galoshes

I wear neoprene shoe covers over my Sketchers. They have templates to cut the sole, so that they can be used with clipless pedals. But I left the sole alone and use them as rain/wind boots.

Quick, Give Him Mouth to Mouth!

I got my CPR training at work, today. I found the mannequins somewhat creepy.

Come On, Summertime!

Sitting out in my back yard, enjoying today's nice weather, I was really looking forward to cookouts and tiki torches...

x

Antique

I just realized that my old Briko helmet is 6 years old. May be time for a new one.

Some Assembly Required

Refer to the exploded diagram...

x

Warp and Weft

Weaving fascinates me...

Keeping A What Out For Who?

Inspired by an article I read in New Scientist, a while back. The Cosmos may be peering back at us, at times...

More Devil Girlie

Oooh, she's got a bike!

x

Yeah, I'm That Creepy Guy

...who sketches you while you read at Starbuck's.

Say "Cheese!"

My digital camera. It's getting old and balky, so I thought I would immortalize it before it gives up the ghost.

Is It Just Me

Or does everyone love a naked devil girl?

Come Fly Away...

A fine feathered friend...

Chizz

Here's to you...I love ya, man! Yeahhhh, uuuhhhhh. Hmmmm...

Radder Than Rad

I picked up this old-school skateboard at the thrift store, last weekend. It's just begging for some artwork.

Clothes Rack and Bike

...all in one!

I hang my outer layers of winter riding clothes on the bike so that they come to hand easily, in the morning.

x

Screwy

And, drivery, too.

Dark Knight

It's interesting just how hard it is to draw an icon, a figure you have seen your whole life, with no reference image to consult.

Batman, from memory.

Biff! Kapwow! Zang!

x

Shedding Some Light

One of the lamps in my livingroom.

The Beast

Nightmarish denizen of the underworld, a personification of the hard times and troubles we all experience.

Or, just a dragon...

Computer Dating

Just for you, Big Tex.

I Love Pin-up Art

Too bad I suck at it!

Update

(I just noticed my dyslexia is on display. The date on the sketch should read 01-09-08.)

Cigar Box

I use this little 3" x 6" wooden cigar box as a case for a small set of watercolors.

Business Card Portrait

This is my interpretation of the photo on a friend's business card. Ink, with a light wash.

The wash is subtle enough that my scanner didn't quite capture all of the shading. i probably need to reset the quality on the scanner.

Overworked

No, I'm not overworked. I just overdid the ink a bit on this.

Another Daily Challenge

In my life, I find that I must make a formal challenge to myself to get anything done. If I say, "I'll keep the house cleaner, this year," nothing happens.

However, if I say, "I will vacuum and dust every Monday, Wednesday and Friday," it gives me a concrete goal, rather than a vague target, and it will get done. (I probably should do this particular one, in real life!)

So, to improve my drawing (I hope), I am following R. Crumb's direction to "Just draw!" To that end, I am challenging myself to draw at least one sketch per day in a sketchbook dedicated to this goal. This is in addition to any other art I might produce.

2008 is a Leap Year. 366 days, 366 pix.

So, I have the flatbed scanner set up, finally, and I am ready to start posting.

Here goes.

This is a hip-swaying hula girl I got, a while back, for the dash of my car. I liked her so well that I kept her in the house.

Cold weather inspired the Antepodean image, and my Jack posed for the other.

Wine and cigarettes...I like wine, but I'm not sure why I put the ciggy in. It was late, and I had had a couple of glasses...

The other page is just some random doodling. Random doodling is relaxing.
