Year of the Dragon

was supposed to be a warm up, but I started it, then didn't touch it all day XD So it didn't take much time, but it also took all day. Lol

Late, but done! Yay! Back to the halftones, with a little color.

Sort of the grown-up version of yesterdays? lol

inspired by

"Goosey Goosey Gander" is a traditional English nursery rhyme dating to the late 18th century, first recorded in 1784. The rhyme tells the story of searching a house and throwing an old man down the stairs for not saying his prayers, though the meaning is thought by some to reflect religious persecution or have a layer of innuendo.

~

Goose-a goose-a gander,

Where shall I wander?

Up stairs and down stairs,

In my lady's chamber;

There you'll find a cup of sack

And a race of ginger

The earliest recorded version of this rhyme is in Gammer Gurton's Garland or The Nursery Parnassus published in London in 1784.

variouse Interpretations ref to religious upheavals in the time of Oliver Cromwell.

Other interpretations exist. Mark Cocker and Richard Mabey note in Birds Britannica that the greylag goose has for millennia been associated with fertility, that "goose" still has a sexual meaning in British culture, and that the nursery rhyme preserves these sexual overtones ("In my lady's chamber").

I have decided to hold off on the other thing I'm working on until I get some new brushes I want that are being released next week. So because I have nothing from yesterday, and I got different new brushes today, I did this. Because why not. Or just why?!

Let Santa Claus sleep until the Night of December 25.

First arts of the new year!! And it's Alex.

I actually did this yesterday but didn't have time to post.

Today's arts. It was done really fast since I didn't do it until the end of the day. It was going to be a half body shot, but when I zoomed in to do his face I liked it cropped XD

Another "SketchBook X" plein air sketch.

Today I figured out how to crop a sketch (the transform tool). I like this ability to just quickly drop in colour fills, but you must close a shape to fill it and it does not recognize the perimeter of the image as an edge.

This almost didn't get posted. I intended it to be a much larger drawing...but it's more than I can finish in my allotted time...so this is it. I may or may not ever go back and finish.

But hey, full shot of john. He's tough to get whole in a drawing...he's too damn tall.

John has moved on to Day-Glo goo.

Another one I did just to color/get something done. I had limited time and I was having another difficulty drawing day :P

One of these weeks I should pick a theme or something, then I'd have a purpose with my drawings...other than torturing a Crow.

A quick digital sketch that i made using a wacom, custom brushes and photoshop.

Painted on my iPhone 4 with Livesketch, Camera (shot outside 0'Fournier winery in the Uco Valley in Argentina), Photostudio, Iris, Meritum Paint, SketchBookMobile.

Really really fast sketch that happened because what I was working on wasn't going to get done today.....so I did this instead. Hopefully today's first sketch will happen tomorrow.

When you see these sketches rest assured that I'm working full time and can't get out in the field. Bored! :(

First John of the new year! Took me too long. I've had no time for art.

Also I've been working on a thing in my spare time, and I got kid of stuck on it, but I wanted to finish it, so I used this as a warm up.

The warmup that got out of hand.

Worked though. Got past my stuck part. Now I can move on to coloring!

Painted on an iPad 2 with Sketchbook Pro

It was in the 17th year

Everything blasted apart.

The glue of life dried up

And the broken pieces

Lay caked and choking

For their right to survive.

It was in this time of agony,

In a constant battle between

Futility and fearing to hope,

That a darkeness entered

The scene without drama

Or desire to be celebrated.

This force invaded slowly

With dangerous indifference,

Infesting all gloominess

Emptying out any vitality

Until meaning nearly lost its hold:

In the last glimmer of a dying spark .

In that darkest of moments,

A luminescence suddenly dawned:

A quiet sobering roused the senses,

A generous lightness of being

gleamed through empty hallways

In and out of doorways of feeling.

Everything crescendo-ed in silence

Promising ecstatic splendor yet to awaken

In the resilient heart of a beloved brother,

In the invincible Teacher guiding from the wings,

In the soulmate who would kindle great love,

In the joy-permeated Goddess she would become.

I love this guy. One of the Nightmare Batmen from DC METAL. He has yet to actually show up and I am already obsessed.

This is a fast sketch from lunch but I also started another one I would prefer to be nicer....in theory anyway. Chances are I will never finish it lololol seriously. That kind of sucks.

Original was a photographic print of a young boy. The print was scanned and then rendered.

The new Flickr app also has an editor but I cannot get the text tool to apply. I start with an App called MySketch. I have to clean, paint, and apply text with an app call SketchbookX express. These files are so small they wouldn't work for anything but cards or small illustrations of a text. I'm currently building a website and I think these would make great clip art to punch up the look of widgets and text.

Finished! Late, but finished. I honestly had no real idea of where this was going....

I have no idea.

This is one of those things that if it were in a sketchbook, would stay in a sketchbook and never be seen. Lol

This started out as a tribute to Albrecht Durer, and then morphed into something more...I've always been a fan of Jeff Bridges, and way pretty happy for him to finally win an Oscar...this is a Durer-esque rendition of Jeff as 'The Dude', the pseudonym of the main character from the movie the Big Lebowski.

Kinderwelt.

Three false starts later, I did this. It was made quickly with little idea as to what I was doing.
