It’s been a while since I posted as drawing. So… uh… here’s an elephant.
Kinda reminds me of Circus Peanuts. Which is unfortunate. Very, very unfortunate. *gag*
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Wow – it’s been five years since Annabelle and I were married. In some ways it seems like a lot more time has passed, in other ways a lot less. Regardless, she’s the best… I’m sure glad she puts up with me. Happy fifth anniversary, Annabelle! 😉

Here’s a drawing of a Rhino… he hopes everyone has a great weekend. I do too. More stuff on Monday!
Stuart MacKenzie: “HEAD! PAPER! NOW! Move that melon of yours and get the paper if you can, haulin’ that gargantuan cranium about.”
Tony Giardino: “SSShhhhh…”
Stuart MacKenzie: “I’m not kiddin’, that boy’s head’s like Sputnik… spherical but quite pointy in parts…”

I’m still indecisive… which explains the 4-styles-o-Elvis. In the end, I might prefer them combined. Besides, 4 kings can be a difficult hand to beat.
Teddy ‘KGB’: “Lays down a monster… should have paid me off on that. The **** did you lay that down?” *throws tray of Oreos across room*
Mike McDermott: “Not Hungry?”
Teddy KGB: “Mr. Son of a *****, let’s play some cards!”

In an attempt to keep things balanced (as they never are around here) I’ve decided to post a mixed media piece today. Or four. But they pretty much go together. I think.
I’ve never been to any of these cities, but I did sell the pieces… so that was pretty cool.
Now where did I put that Dramamine?

Okay… I just posted a drawing two days ago. For a project that wasn’t finished. So what could be better than posting another drawing? For another project. That isn’t finished. It’s a two-fer. And a race to see which piece I actually complete first. What a nail-biter.
Beethoven: “Dude… I was like… totally here first!”
Houdini: ” Yeah, well… I know magic!”
Beethoven: “Muah. I know kung fu!”
Houdini: “I know the kung fu hustle!”
Beethoven: “Well played, sir… well played!”

I decided to change things up today and post something… unfinished. Well, the drawing is finished, but that’s only part of this project. Hopefully I’ll have the final product ready to show you in the next week or two. What a cliff-hanger. Wow.
Me: “Sorry I’ve abstracted your hair so much, drawing of someone else’s photo of a bust of Ludwig van Beethoven.”
LvB: “Whatev’. My hair is naturally stubborn. Like it’s made of marble.
Me: “Bummer, dude.”
LvB: “You’re telling me. I condition every 24 hours… still nothing. Lamesville.”

I was considering saving this post for Frank’s birthday… but who can wait for next December? I don’t have that kind of patience. Also, some days I just feel “Ol’-er” than others, so this piece seemed appropriate.
Any favorite Frank tunes?
Anyone have blue eyes?
Anyone have ‘the voice’?
Anyone a chairman / chairwoman of the board?

Hey, hey it’s Abe’s birthday (well, tomorrow, anyway)! That’s why I’ve posted this mixed media 3/4 Abe Lincoln Face I made a while back for my sister.
Me: Happy b-dizzle tomorrow, big A!
3/4 Abe Lincoln Face: We’ll, HONESTLY, 3/4 of my face does feel a year older.
Me: Well, as they say, it sure beats the alternative, I guess.
3/4 Abe Lincoln Face: You said it, bro.
