BELLY PUNKER COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

While traipsing through the local park, imagine my surprise to see this image carved into a tree. I choose to be flattered instead of angry.

CRAZY CLAWS KITTY #42

I'm a big fan of alliteration. And puns. But this isn't a pun, so let's focus on alliteration for a moment, people.

I was tempted to title this one with all "K's," but decided against it as the acronym would have been inappropriate. I DON'T like acronyms.

So for those keeping score, that's yea for alliteration, yea for puns, nay for acronyms, and nay for supremacist groups. Oh, and of course yea for limericks:

There once was a kitty named Fred
Who loved nothing more than to shred
The ottoman and chair
And cover'em with hair
As he also had a habit to shed.

SKETCHES AT THE TRACK

Thought I'd try something different and take my sketchbook to the dirt track. I soon realized I can't draw when racing is going on, but I got a few crowd scenes worthy of sharing. The one above of a Dale Jr fan turned out pretty good; I might could turn it into an aceo. Here's another quick sketch:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I like how this one came out like he was not a very willing subject. In reality, I don't think he noticed.

DUDE'S HEAD #5,012

Seriously, how many dude's heads can I paint? A lot, I guess. I went with three colors on this one, with a little bit of black. No ink, just paint. I wanted to get the 3-Dness right.

A lot of my faces lately have taken on a Roman quality; not sure why. So with that in mind, I bring you:

There once was a Roman named Titus
Who rudely would never invite us
To go to his parties
Hosted at Sardi's
So that's why we tell him to "bite us!"

Tomorrow I'm painting a lady. Oh, and here's how this dude started:

POST #301: SINGIN' FARMER

I'm resuming my eBay art career with this guy, SINGIN' FARMER. He looks like he's off-tune, but I'm sure no one minds. He's singing

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.

That song was in the movie, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? which the wife and I have yet to see.

Also, I think I can tie this in with the latest ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY topic, Juggle, as I am trying to juggle owning a house for the first time, my regular job, and this art thing.
