Great Uncle – part 2

A long time ago, I posted a photo of Audie and Tash. I re-discovered it, and decided to try and paint it. The original photo is here and this is my version of it below…

A couple of weeks ago I was in Calgary. It was a sunny, warm day, and even though there was lots of snow still on the ground, Natasha and one of her friends were outside, doing typical kids in the summertime stuff.

I wanted to re-do an old picture I did years ago of Gollum (from Lord of the Rings) on a skateboard. I think it was painted on an scrap piece of drywall, and I think I gave it to Graham, and I’m actually not sure if it was ever really finished. This is more demon-ish than gollum-ish, but I had fun anyway.

A farting hippo?

Almost everyone knows the big reason I watch NCIS is because I’m infatuated with Abby. Just for fun, I tried to come up with a picture of her and her farting hippo. What can I say?

Too cold to be outside

So I’m stuck inside having fun doing some digital artwork. So what do I draw?

Something warm and tropical one would think, but I decided on snow. Here’s the WonderDog goofing around.

A revived hobby

I’ve had the urge to start doing some of that artsy-fartsy stuff over the last few months. So when the kids asked what I wanted for Christmas, I said a couple of tubes of paint, or paint brushes, or something like that. I just have to buy a few more colours now, and I’m gonna start some practice stuff soon.

In the meantime, while waiting for Christmas (always a kid) I bought a new drawing tablet for my computer, because my old one was starting to skip. Then I found a cool painting program called ArtRage that simulates real paint (well as close as you can get, with a computer anyway)

Here’s one of my humble attempts in the digital method – sorry FaceBookers – don’t know how this will show up there, you might have to click away from Facebook for a moment… (oh no! … Gasp! what if I can’t get back? AaaRGGH! what should I do? click on the view original post thing in Facebook)

Amy on the Rocks

So this is my digital painting. If you click on the picture, you should get a bigger version. (I think – I upgraded this blog software a while ago, and everything doesn’t work how I want it to just yet. Another days project I guess.

In the coming days and/or weeks I hope to add some real paint stuff here too.

And for all you FaceBookers, here’s a link back to the farm. Yes, I’m poking a bit of fun at you. Probably ’cause I just don’t get it – guess I’m just not quite into the 21s t century yet.
