While I was painting these, I was watching the excellent Cyrano de Bergerac movie with Gérard Depardieu. I had the honour of working with Mr. Depardieu, as an extra in the crowd, for the film Nouvelle France. Didn’t see much of him, but he seemed like a real gent.

I’ve been using an electric toothbrush for a couple of months. A little nervous about it at first, because the sound of it in my mouth was like the dental tools which still make me shivery. But it seemed to do a great job polishing the teeth, making them white and shiny. That was until […]

Painting more stuff tonight, after working hard. Tough days, actually, in various ways, though things aren’t bad. Getting stuff going, making decisions, dealing with things. Hope it all works out! It is February, though. One thing is from a photo, the other an elaboration of a quick sketch I made.

The figure in blue is mainly copied from a Love and Rockets comic panel. I think i like getting more into cartoony oddness, but enjoy trying to make […]

That’s if I’m not distracted by twitter, or doing meaningless graphics in illustrator. Happy to be making at least a little […]

I made a grid on a piece of watercolour paper with the tape, and drew these cool little paintings. Yay!

Couple of uncomfortable paintings. The one above is a figure from a dream I had, based, I think, on a rock video featuring a mummy wrapped in duct tape. Below, it’s this guy I found annoying at a bar. Don’t know how much annoyingness comes through in the picture. Usually, it’s softened a lot, but […]
