2013-0807-Camel-HumpDay
Thought I would share this camel on, what many weekly workers call, “Hump Day”.
Drew this last week for educational materials for my friends at “The Knowledge Exchange”, an educational store in Palm Bay, Florida, near Melbourne.

The art is drawn on vellum bristol and inked using a series of felt tip and brush pens.
Below is video at YouTube of me inking the artwork.:

July 20th, 2013 – 90th Birthday Wishes!

by on Jul.20, 2013, under Buddies, Caricatures, Cartooning, Friends

2013-0720-AnnArcherBirthdayCard

My friend, Ann Archer, turns 90 and a big party is planned today. Here’s the birthday card I painted for this very patriotic woman. She has served in various political posts for decades in Dade and Marion Counties here in Florida. She still is active today despite mobility issues. She’s a great lady with a great sense of humor, something that seems to maintain a long life. Another friend, Lucile Fair, is 105 1/2 and loves to laugh and see the fun in life. We probably all need to smile more in life and Ann and Lucile are examples of that.

Yesterday I posted the prepped artwork for watercolor. Here’s the watercolored version.

I’m going to try and post more here. It’ll be tough when on the road. Otherwise, I hope to increase artwork posts to, at least, three to four a week.

Got to meet up with old pal Jeff Parker this evening in Tallahassee during a brief stop there. It’s the first time I’ve seen Jeff in two years. Great catching up and we exchanged some goodies. Hope to see Jeff again before two years.
