A full Moon hung bright in the night sky. Observing deep sky objects with the little refractor could wait for a moonless night. The constellation Gemini was high overhead and some distance from the moon that still hugged the eastern horizon. Double Stars were the target for this evening.

NOTES:
The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show is an American half-hour animated series that aired in syndication from September 9, 1967 to June 1, 1968. Each of the 39 individual episodes consisted of four five-minute cartoons. [1] The cartoons were created jointly by Hanna-Barbera, RKO and Jomar Productions between 1965 and 1967. The series was syndicated by Gold Key Entertainment and King World Productions.
The primary feature of this cartoon series was the fact that Bud Abbott supplied the voice for his own character. (Because Lou Costello had died in 1959, his character's voice was performed by Stan Irwin.)
William (Bud) Abbott and Lou Costello (born Louis Francis Cristillo) performed together as Abbott and Costello, an American comedy duo whose work in radio, film and television made them the most popular comedy team during the 1940s and 50s. Thanks to the endurance of their most popular and influential routine, "Who's on First?"—whose rapid-fire word play and comprehension confusion set the preponderant framework for most of their best-known routines—the team is, as a result, featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. (Contrary to popular belief, however, the duo was not inducted into the Hall.)
The team's first known radio appearance was on The Kate Smith Hour in February, 1938. "Who's on First?" was first performed for a national radio audience the following month.[1] Abbott and Costello stayed on the program as regulars for two years, but the similarities between their New Jersey-accented voices made it difficult for listeners (as opposed to stage audiences) to tell them apart due to their rapid-fire repartee. The problem was solved by having Costello affect a high-pitched childish voice, and their remaining tenure on the Smith show was successful enough to get them roles in a Broadway revue "The Streets of Paris" in 1939.
In 1940 they were signed by Universal Studios for the film One Night in the Tropics. Cast in supporting roles, they stole the show with several classic routines, including "Who's on First?" The same year they were a summer replacement on radio for Fred Allen. Two years later, they had their own NBC show.
Universal signed them to a long-term contract, and their second film, Buck Privates, (1941) made them box-office stars. In most of their films, the plot was a framework for the two comics to reintroduce comedy routines they first performed on stage. Universal also added glitzy, gratuitous production numbers (a formula borrowed from the Marx Brothers comedies) featuring The Andrews Sisters, Ted Lewis and his Orchestra, Ella Fitzgerald, and other musical acts. They made 36 films together between 1940 and 1956. Abbott and Costello were among the most popular and highest-paid entertainers in the world during World War II. Other film successes included Hold That Ghost, Who Done It?, Pardon My Sarong, The Time of Their Lives, Buck Privates Come Home, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man.
In 1942, Abbott and Costello were the top box office draw with a reported take of $10 million. They would remain a top ten box office attraction until 1952.
In 1951, they moved to television as rotating hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour. (Eddie Cantor and Martin and Lewis were among the others.) Each show was a live hour of vaudeville in front of a theater audience, revitalizing the comedians' performances and giving their old routines a new sparkle.
Beginning in 1952, a filmed half-hour series, The Abbott and Costello Show, appeared in syndication on local stations across the country. Loosely based on their radio series, the show cast the duo as unemployed wastrels. One of the show's running gags involved Abbott perpetually nagging Costello to get a job to pay their rent, while Abbott barely lifted a finger in that direction. The show featured Sidney Fields as their landlord, and Hillary Brooke as a friendly neighbor who sometimes got involved in the pair's schemes. Another semi-regular was Joe Besser as Stinky, a 40-year-old sissy dressed in a Little Lord Fauntleroy suit. Gordon Jones was Mike the cop, who always lost patience with Lou. The simple plotlines were often merely an excuse to recreate old comedy routines—including "Who's on First?" and other familiar set pieces—from their films and burlesque performances

Near Tower Street, close to where Agatha Christie's play The Mousetrap has been playing for 56 years.
I got off on a different tangent on the right there. Those are an assortment of stoplights and streetlights that I would sketch quickly while waiting for them to turn green.
Makes the time pass very quickly.

From the book "Les Jeux du Cirque et la Vie Foraine" by Hugues Le Roux. Paris: E. Plon, Nourrit (1889). This book features over a hundred hand-colored illustrations by Jules Garnier of circus performers and their acts, along with a brief history of the circus beginning with P.T. Barnum.
i dreamed of becoming a fashion designer, untill i fell in love with foreign languages and decided to devote myself to interpreter career. after all, sewing clothes was never my hobby, unlike doodling in a classroom... :)
These masks were drawings for part of a multicultural arts project that I worked on. The children in the school took part in a drumming workshop and African play that they wrote. The children that made the masks were as young as 6. They used cut, painted and textured paper with "hairy string" to create these magnificent masks. Well done Hayshead Primary.
This is an original drawing done by me of the sculpture "Bust of a Man" by Joseph Wilton. The drawing is done with Conte crayon, Terra Cotta and white Prismacolor pencil on heavy Strathmore brand artist paper.
A break from carving to finish the last of the drawing on the new "OVERLOOK" print…to be a colored woodcut, printed from 4-5 blocks, size roughly 28" x 46". The sky above the mountains will grown taller in the color blocks.
Hello all,
Here's a little drawing I did of the gang. It's done ink, but I used photoshop to give it some color.
Onix is Io's karaoke buddy. They can spend hours singing, or more like yelling, in Onix's case. Poor Winter doesn't look too pleased with their singing abilities! XD
you wanted fails, you got fails!!
and these are just a few
though i must say, I often take elements form the "fails" and use them future ZTs, so they do serve a purpose. lol
Colored pencils on green-tinted, toothed paper.
I keep on experimenting with this paper my son gave me years ago. The pencils are the soft kind that act more like pastels. The next step is to do a watercolor of the same scene I guess. (I could do washes on this paper, but it is really too thin for watercolors.)
