Hair-cut

Did someone say haircut?

Some people like getting their haircut others well,like their hair just the way it is...

Many of my doodles and sketches in characters in progress.
Seem hair to be ann interesting idea.

Since it is one of many a vanity to some.

Others well, it is just the way it is at the moment.

Happy New Year ...2011.

We can sense paranoia and we are coming for you.

Paranoia can be illustrated in color and not just in drawing or words.

With a simple doodle and a chosen color it can tranform a character into life. 

Experimenting with color can add a different dimension.
I often like to create to experiment with different linear lines and color.

Big lines,fat lines,skinny lines it can be endless with imagination.

I am just  a so called... line hugger.

What are you looking at?

Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this BS before.

Hereafter

I believe in the hereafter,so hereafter don't bother me.

Something is taller than me

Shaking off this smaller tree

that lies within me

I can see why i believe here and now is mean't to be

Why ought i stay in this liitle bubble of heresay

When i thought the hereafter was going to stay

So hereafter don't bother me

Two in a pod.

Two in a Pod

  Always walking on a cloud

Never saying anything out loud.

Thoughts are like a pin drop

Coming and goin

Two sides to every thought

Maybe i should or maybe not

I will figure my story out

As i start

Two in a Pod

One,Two,Three Steps...

One takes each step a pace a t a time.

Sometimes it may take a a little more time than others.

One,Two,Three Step...

Sketches that are inthe process of being refined and maybe a better design.

A Straight Jacket.

'' My son told me he was gay so i bought him a straight jacket".

Who says parenting is ever easy. A parent can really be confused on how to deal with certain issues.
I guess no one is really alone when it comes to raising children is today's society.
Only to do the best that one can inthis day in age.

            Given how amny months Canadians are surviving winter wonder if any birds decided to stay.
          It is known birds fly south for the winter. Do some birds who decide to stay behind ever wonder,they
          rather be down south.

          Buz is listening to his friend's poor hummingbird decision.

The Color Wheel.

 I was surfing in the big wide world of the internet and i came across a enlightening site called the ColorWheelArtist .com.
It is a website about your guess it, about the color wheel.
Unless you gone to art school or have taken the challenge of learning color on your own ,Color Wheel Artist web site comes in handy for one who may not remember color palletes or never studied color.
The site divides in sections as color wheel,color blog,color schemes,color meanings,artist resources,free stuff,my secret stuff.

The site was created by Shirley Williams a professional artist whose acrylic paintings are shown in galleries in both Canada and the US. As well Shirley shows us her gallery of paintings.
A added bonus,you can print out color wheels for your own reference.
A smart idea  for learning about the color wheel , and Shirley markets her art.
There are also artist resources for the individual who is interested in Shirley's e-book,
'' Stand out in a Crowd with Dazzling Photos". A guide to knowing how to represent your portfolio to galleries and collectors."SmARTist Telesummit Audio & PDF Programs",and ArtBiz Coach.com.


Great site for rmany artists starting out their career or are on their way in their journey.

Www.Paintersforhumanrights .org

http://www.paintersforhumanrights.org/ is a great site for any painter who wishes to express their work in relation to the declaration of human rights.
In our everyday lives sometimes a person may for get or may need to be reminded that all humans entail basic principals in human rights in todays society.
Unfortunately in many parts of the world ,there are many who are not as fortunate to be living in a civil society in which one can celebrate or express an individual's human right to these basic principals.

I choose to submit an portrait of an elderly man in arcylic paint,collage about Rwanda genecide,freedom of speech and thought in a pencil crayon drawing ,and safety and freedom of children in a cartoon.

I feel very lucky to participate and show my work on http://www.paintersforhumanrights.org/, and I hope you will enjoy the art as well.

An Artist Shadow in a Shutter.

An Artist Shadow in a Shutter.

"An Artist Shadow in a Shutter" is an animation about how spirituality and the body interconnect.
The film consists of 300 drawings,and a poem i wrote as a narrative being spoken by Marie McCain.
The instrumental music was done by Rodney Ronquillo.
I took my creative writing and drawing ideas and assimulated them together.
The film is an oldie.The film was completed in 1998.
I thought i share this experimental film with you.

Enjoy the animation.

Toonie Too Much Media.

                         Some say watching news is good to keep up with what is currently going on in the world.
                         How much is too much for those who are able to comprehend a story and not assume it the
                         news story will not affect them.
