Kraz T00Ns begins.

I recently posted an image on facebook, one of the comments was that the viewer thought it looked like a New Yorker cartoon.

So I decided to try it.  I call this idea KrazToons, and I will either do a single frame or multiple frame art comic for the next while, see how it goes.

Stay Tuned!

new lines.

line drawings from the past couple of days.......this is the first step usually but I have been posting them as is for the last month or so.

I am now working on the second dye sublimation dress, which I ordered yesterday, and leggings for yoga in the clothing line.

animation?

I see a lot of characters in this one I could develop over time.  I have been thinking of animation. I am assigning traits to some of the characters in my mind and trying to understand how they interact....

I would like to explore this further, but for now I am considering creating 3D models of characters I have drawn.

I realize that I would be best served by finding people versed in these technologies, but do not have the funds right now, so I will keep it on the back burner.

new art clothes

two new pieces for the collection..........

Spirit of art center

Yesterday hung an exhibit at the Spirit of Huntington Art center.  I will be hosting a reception on October 22nd.  The show is up for viewing and will be there until the end of October.

crashing water.......

Well into the night
A hammer and a prayer
Found each other
Found each other

Wind like the sound of forever
Winds shake the trees
Make them mortal
Stronger than ever

They run on the beach
Forever in memory
Rush of the waves
Collapsing on the shore

Laughing
Hugging each other
Sunlight true and piercing
No darkness here

Well into the night
A purple haze
We shall live
And love in tranquility

On the moon they gaze lovingly
At the earth as it rises
Into the sky, into consciousness
Memories of wind, crashing water

using the palate knife.

reworking some paintings using a palate knife to create depth with the texture......I have a bunch of paintings I have done recently that I am going to redo this way........

this one was done with a palate knife from scratch.

Tablet.

Trouble

A wise man sits on a hill.  He is holding a tablet made of stone. He is waiting for god to write on it.
Nothing is happening.  It has been a couple of years now and nothing is happening.  The wise man is trying not to get frustrated.

A girl, I guess she is around 7 years old, stares at him.  She is named Alicia, but everyone calls her Trouble.   She seems to always be around when something unusual happens, therefore her unusual moniker.

So when the wise man saw her out of the corner of his eye, he was awakened from a very deep meditation.  Perhaps she is a sign, a portent, of the revelation he seeks.  He turned his gaze to the tablet.
