Crow is Soaring Over the Red Poppies

Digital composite for Illustration Friday's weekly subject SOAR.

Poppies were an original pen & ink & marker illustration which was then scanned and printed at the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley on rice paper. Crow was added later.

Father Affected By Time

As the end of another year approaches, it seems fitting to look back at how time affects the stages of man - in this case E.A. Autrey from 1947 to 2005

Unplug Christmas

It's that time of year to unplug the T.V. (90% ads to buy something you don't need; 10% re-runs) and read a good book. Final Saatchi website contribution for 2007.

What Is It About Turtles?

My Flying Sea Turtle drawing is old (probably from 2003) but something about it is also new. I can thank the turtle for some new music I've discovered. One of the contributors at http://illustrationfriday.com/ has a blog where he lists his top 10 CDs for 2007. #1 is "Bruxist Frog" by proswell (aka a Chicago musician named Joe Misra). Thanks to itunes, I can now listen to the proswell tune "Yuko Pailey" right before Ryuichi Sakamoto's
"Aqua" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." A little new with the old. Some things about this tech revolution are quite nice!

Any One Know The Way?

New painting in the Autrey art collection by St. Louis, Missouri located Roman Catholic priest Andrew Lewandowski. More expressive and colorful outsider art by Andy can be found on his website at http://www.aplski.com/. Highly recommended!
