Baldy McBalderson

This is another little doodle I made in the margins of the newspaper. It's not based on anyone, which is probably a good thing since I think if this drawing were based on me I would be upset at how unflattering it is.

Inch High Private Eye

Another doodle in the margins of the newspaper. I thought it looked pretty good for only being about an inch wide drawing (or about 25 millimeters for the metrically inclined).

Brought to you by the letter C

Do they call him Biscuit Monster in the U.K.?

Mom is asking for trouble

I doodled this in the margins of the newspaper while working on the NYT Sunday Crossword Puzzle. Does anyone know what a six letter word for a Mayan symbol of strength might be?

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?

This is a tempera painting of Abraham Lincoln I made a while ago based off of a marble bust I saw at Ford's Theater in D.C.

I really liked how it was the younger, vibrant rail splitter Abe.

Be cool

In response to the heat wave we've been experiencing, here's a picture of a polar bear.

Eggscuses

This is an egg based tempera painting I made at a workshop on the Wyeth family where we all tried out one of Andrew Wyeth's mediums of choice. The process kind of reminded me of dying Easter eggs mixed with making french toast, but you know, painting.

It might look like this painting kind of sucks, but it was made on a tiny 3" x 4" piece of paper and painted with a medium that dries out within seconds and I only had the three primary colors to work with plus it was my first time using it, which is all really just a bunch of excuses for why it isn't very good.

On the plus side though, it does kind of look like the German mechanic guy who gets splattered by the flying wing in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
