Once again, I was a participant in the annual month-long, daily drawing challenge for October known as DRAWLLOWEEN.

My other daily drawing challenge for the year, in addition to “Drawlloween” in the month of October, is January’s more specific caricature-only challenge, Caricature Resolution. It’s a great way to get in daily caricature practice by using the provided list of subjects. Last year’s list was a theme of celebrities […]
Day 22 of Caricature Resolution 2018 is: WHITNEY HOUSTON Back to the old Neko Roll brush in Procreate to create this caricature of the late, great Whitney. I included a screen shot showing how I use the iPad Pro’s split screen ability to view my photo reference in the Photos […]
I had the pleasure of joining a Black Mountain family’s (with members arriving from all parts) annual tradition of getting together for art, and make-your- own-pizza on the day after Thanksgiving.

Here is an art/military connected post. My two designs for a commemorative T-shirt for the class at Navy “A” school for the HM (Hospital Corpsmen) rating (job). It was at Naval Hospital Corps School in Great Lakes, IL (NCHS) in 1987. I don’t remember exactly how we ended up with two of them, I think […]
May 3rd is apparently “National Teacher Appreciation Day” (and also May 1-7 is National Teacher Appreciation Week). That may not seem particularly newsworthy, as every single day of the year has been proclaimed, designated, or sanctioned to be one or more particular days of something or other. I’m taking advantage of this particular […]
Day 30: SPIDER Day 31: DRAGON I couldn’t help but keep the comic book character theme going until the last day. Spider, of course, made me do Spider-man, and he is fighting on the next page, Iron Man villain, Fin Fang Foom! for the dragon. That was an enjoyable exercise […]
