‘A Ring for Her’ – I Inked Live During Ha-Ba-Da-Bee, Nov. 9th !

by on Nov.17, 2024, under What's New?

Peeled open a Kinder egg and out popped a toy duck!
Then the chat turned to rings for some reason and I started talking of Daoud Jewelers in Fort Lauderdale. Hello, A.J. Daoud! 🙂

Who could the duck give the ring to? An egret fills the bill, with outstretched hand….paw…hoof…whatever…to accept the ring.

Made up as I inked and responding to chat as I drew.

Next live is Sunday night at 8pm on YouTube here:

ROBbing a Few Minutes: Panda and other panderings from live chat….

by on Nov.10, 2024, under Cartooning

This meandering scribbling of about an hour starts with bursting open a Kinder egg. A panda to assemble and then scribble.
The chat area took off and everything from drinking cows to Santa Claus came up.
All drawn off the top of my head.

Video from November 3rd live drawing can be seen here:

The chat follows along.

Sped-up version to come.

My #InkTober #26 – Dinosaur Play

by on Oct.28, 2024, under What's New?


I opened the live YouTube program, October 26th, opening a Kinder egg and out popped parts to create a little dinosaur.
That brought discussion in the chat area of toys and toys from the past that I could draw a trunk full. 🙂

#inkTober #20 drawings – Kinder and Spaghetti fun!

by on Oct.26, 2024, under Cartooning

Starting this #InkTober #20 for October 20th, I started the live program opening a Kinder egg and out popped an odd little Gumby-looking piece and a separate piece of cardboard attachments that could be attached to make various characters. looked spaceman-like to me.
So, I inked – no pencils, made up as I drew – a spaceman named Bob – aren’t they all? – in a Kinder egg world with faces like the Gumby-looking figure.

This one of two inked during the program. The second is below.
The ones drawn, so far, for InkTober are here:

The 2nd drawing involved chat response of Andrea to dinner offerings and gummy bears.
An old Dick van Dyke drawing came up with attendee Melissa directing dance moves.

Pioneer Days watercolour painting – Mose Paine playin’ for the natives!

by on Oct.25, 2024, under Illusration

Pioneer Days watercolour painting – Mose Paine Playin’ for the Natives!
This is of Mose Paine who played music around Pine castle, in south Orange County up into Orlando, in the late 1800s. We was the Taylor Swift of Central Florida back then.

Did this for the silent auction event for Pioneer Days, which I’ve been involved with most of 35 years.

11″ x 14″ painting on Crescent board.

Tomorrow: You’ll howl at this Happy holiday!

#InkTober #18 – Dr. Bulldog in trouble!

by on Oct.23, 2024, under Cartooning


During the InkTober Live drawing program October 18th, I started drawing a bulldog based on a mention of a Boston terrier in the chat. I don’t know how to draw a Boston terrier, so bulldog it is. Doctors, kitties, fountains and more came out. Old school mate, Steve Gallancy came up as he was among those to connect on my current Facebook page. Thought I’d try to draw him as I did back in high school. Steve got plopped in a gold cart-Model-T machine came up as the chat turned to round-a-bouts and The Villages.

Made up as I drew.
