Coffee Break

I'm a fan of the French Press. I just got this little half-sized model for Carol, a while back.

Productive Meeting

Spent 2 hours in one of the most aggravating, annoying meetings I have ever been in, today. I've redacted the actual text of the meeting agenda, but you can see what was accomplished.

PS R.I.P. David Carradine.

Ew! Is that guy sketching me?

One-Minute Sketches

I had great plans for doing some more involved artwork, this year, and putting it up on this blog. Unfortunately/fortunately, my bike business picked up quite a bit, and I've had little time for art.

Today, I sat at the coffee shop and did quick pen sketches, just because I haven't drawn a damn thing in so long. Some came out a bit more successfully than others, but I feel good for having done them.

This one actually took closer to 5 minutes.

A Couple of Quick Sketches

I may not post one piece each week, but I will post one per week.

I got a text message from Colin asking for a "quick pic of a snowboarding halfpipe". He needs it to use as a reference to draw a picture for a book report.

I wasn't sure if he wanted a picture of a snowboarder on a halfpipe, or just a picture showing what a halfpipe looks like. So, I just drew one of each.

They Don't Write 'Em Like That Any More

No graphic art, this week. But, I did write a couple of songs.

Here"s the lyrics to a goofy little pop song about (what else?) riding my bike.

(Chorus)
I've got a bike and I like to ride it, I ride it every day.
I've got a bike and I like to ride it, I ride it every day.

Sit on the seat and grab the handlebars, put my feet on the pedals
Ring the bell as I'm riding along, say hello to the fellows
People in cars, they're not so bad, But I'm glad I'm not one
I ride past as they're sitting still, And I'm having fun

(Chorus)
I've got a bike and I like to ride it, I ride it every day.
I've got a bike and I like to ride it, I ride it every day.

See the sky, hear the birds as they sing, the soundtrack for my riding
Feel the sun, feel the wind and the rain, It's all just so exciting
Here I go just cruising along, I'm really in no hurry
It's kinda nice just to take my time, out of the rat race scurry

(Chorus)
I've got a bike and I like to ride it, I ride it every day.
I've got a bike and I like to ride it, I ride it every day.

So get a bike, and then go ride it, then I think you'll say
I've got a bike and I like to ride it, I ride it every day.

Painting For Colin

Colin collects these little guys, and ended up with a couple of extras. He gave them to me, last year, so that I could display them on one of the toy shelves. He asked if I would draw him a picture of the two figures, and I said I would.

Well, it's been a while, but I finally got them done.
