Yup, more. We’ve got heaps and stacks of these little guys around here.

Speculations on a civilization 1000 years dead
In looking closely at the Mimbres designs, I noticed something … intriguing. Well, all right, several things. (This will have some images below the fold — some of them are fairly large.)
Elements of a design 2
More of that Mimbres-inspired stuff I was talking about yesterday. I think it’s really coming together now.
Elements of a design
Recently I was tasked with developing a more or less permanent design that would be used, indefinitely, on the T-shirts we do for our annual Route 66 5K/10K run. In poking around for some decent southwestern designs, I stumbled across (was reminded of, actually) artwork by the Mimbres culture, an offshoot of the Mogollon. I was able to do […]
Okay, maybe I was half-dead.
Not literally, of course, but I do believe that I mentioned I was less than happy with some of the caricatures I posted yesterday. I patched them — had to. It was eating at me. Eating at me like a wee tiny toothy little horrid leprechaun with a rattish overbite and halitosis on par with the rectum of a diseased pigeon. Well, all […]
I’m not dead!
I think I’ll go for a walk! I feel happy! I feel happy! Just been up to my eyebrows in it. Quite a lot going on on the work front, which tends to tax my energy down a bit when I get home. However, I’ve managed to do a few fun things, such as the following. Hospital Week is an annual celebration […]
Mango Pickle
I play some didj too. Though not usually after I catch bream. Come to think of it, I’m not sure what bream looks like. Much more better with subwoofer. Rake the shafters.
Boulevard of broken ads
A local high school sold us space for an ad in their annual, and what I did for it at first might be inappropriate according to some, but it sure as hell would be a thing to see in a yearbook.* It’s supposed to be an ad for our fitness center, trying to convince the graduates to attend. […]
This is haunting
Really quite good.
No, not dead.
Just up to my into. Thought I’d pause for a moment to ruminate, though, on the nature of what works and doesn’t in the lens. Now I can’t take a studio shot to save my life. This is not often true. Many, and I mean many, phởtographers are just brilliant at portrait pics. Well, I’ve never really tried it; I don’t have […]
TabletDraw: Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Always, always always, my preferred mode for illustration is pencil and paper, with inking. Of course in our ultra-modern age, that doesn’t always work; Illustrator has taught many to expect very clean, slick graphics that are more or less entirely vector-based. There’s nothing wrong with the look per se; certainly I can work in that format […]
