(256) Wind Mobility Mural.

This mural work kept me busy for a few days.

This was a team effort, led by William Lazos,

who has done some amazing work.

This was the building after two days of work.

Conditions was less than ideal, low temperatures

thickened paints and brushes, duct tape into shreds,

and adhesives not to stick. Heat guns came in handy.

Paint would start as a liquid, then the consistency of

yogurt, then tooth paste,then glue, then hard ice cream.

We got it done in five days. It warmed up enough

on the very last day. I would do it again, but

maybe wait for warmer weather.

This was the last bit of detail we finished off.

Elana Busan and I got it down to the wire,

with enough time for clean up. Additional

help was provided by fellow Calgary

Artist Dale Bott.

The painting will be up until Spring, another one

will follow...could be a surprise?

Thanks for visiting.

(255) Sketches.

 Sketches done while half watching a movie with my Wife,

sometimes I need a little bit of distraction while drawing.

Letting the shapes fall into place organically, spontaneously.

Just having fun.

(254) North Pole.

Originally done with a fine point pen,

converted to an even vector line.

The image comes out much cleaner,

but more mechanical.

I might colour this one...

what do you think?

This was something I'd been thinking about a while back,

and giving it another round of experimentation.

Twenty five more to think about.

(252) Sketchbook Dec 9th, 2010

A few sketchbook pages here.

I'm working on a pitch, experimenting with a few

characters and concepts. I like to get the characters

down on paper as it develops.

The images also feed the story ideas.

Always keeping busy.

(251) Strawberry Head Colouring Book.

The colouring book has a very limited printing.

I am still looking for better paper to print on,

but keep the cost down.It measures 11" X 17"

spiral bound, including ten pages.

The boys have a snack and colour.

This was at the Children's Book Fair & Conference.

This is the last set up at Braeside Craft Show.

(247) Bubble Head.

I've had this little project on the back burner,

too long,time to finish it off.

A couple more to go to compete the set.

This is a "free floating" drawing,

no preconceived ideas, just drawing what

comes to mind and letting the line flow and play.

Thanks for visiting.

(244) Roller and Stencil.

I used the paper cut out, from one of the stars, as

a stencil, applying tempera paint with a roller

on white card stock,

I painted ten to make two sets of stars.
