More On Engineseeker

Yesterday's review of Captures (ought to be called Pirates) had me on my high horse for a while. I sent an e-mail to the customer service people at Engineseeker to let them know I had, as a satisfied customer,mentioned them on my blog, and perhaps they'd like to know what was said. I received the nicest e-mail back from one of their guys. He nwas... Read More

Mayor Crook's Simpsonized Portrait

I showed you the concept sketch earlier. This is the actual painting on stone. I actually like it, but he looks a little...insane. I still have trouble carrying over the sketch to the painting. I don't know why. But sometimes it just happens that way. I love to "Simpsonize" people, and I try to do a couple people each week. If you see... Read More

Chris Griffin





Okay, this is a brief art lesson. If you want to start painting characters, this character is a great one to start with. First, you can sketch the image onto a clean ( I mean really scrubbed with antibiotic soap...don't want you getting sick from microbes if we can help it!) dry rock.
I always recomment using a white colored pencil. Just snag one... Read More

Cleveland Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame...Awesome!

Today I went on a trip to the Cleveland R & R Hall Of Fame, along with the Cleveland Science Museum, and lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was an awesome day. Our middle school chorus and orchestra performed at the RRHOF and it was really nice. I haven't been to Cleveland in over a decade. The city is very beautiful with lots of exciting... Read More

Rocks Carved By Nature

This is fascinating to me...the idea that a rock can be formed, exposed to the elements for ages, and gradually over time, take on the shapes of things found in nature. This week I have been really focusing on these very special and unique "canvases" for painting. I have saved some over the winter because I wasn't exactly sure what I was... Read More

Mental Retardation In Dogs


This is my dog, June. She is a dachshund. I am not a dog snob, but June is a pedigreed dachshund from the top breeder of Standard Red Dachshunds in my part of the US. She was not inexpensive.
June is mentally retarded. And I say this with the utmost respect and sincerity. She truly is and I'll tell you all about it.
When june was born, six years ago,... Read More

Bleeding Gums Murphy



I love Bleeding Gums Murphy. Well, I love all the Simpsons Characters, but my son spent several years playing saxophone with the school band, and Bleeding Gums is sax-playing Lisa Simpson's hero.
There is a scene where he appears to Lisa in the clouds, and I have done an acrylic painting on canvas of my interpretation of that fabulous scene. I have... Read More
