Hiatus

2010-08-12T16:30:00.001-07:00

Well folks as you may have noticed I've been somewhat absent when it comes to posting on this blog.
I love doing it and have a ton more to share but life has intervened at the moment.
My Dad is very sick and moving towards that big donut in the sky so all my time is with him. One of these days I'll be back with things that will blow your mind but for now I'm bowing out of the blog game.
Thanks for all the support & kind words.

Lemon Plum

2010-02-18T11:22:00.000-08:00

I was at the grocery store today and what did my wandering eyes behold but a new Fruit called a Lemon Plum.
According to the sticker they are imported from Chile.
I was so intrigued by its look and teardrop shape that I bought some to taste test.

Cut appearance - A+ (Looks like a heart, nice touch Chile)
Taste - C+ (Wha Happened?)

Sadly the Lemon Plum was in no way the wildly exotic taste sensation I was hoping for.
It wasn't bad, it just tasted like a slightly more mellow citrusy plum.
Note - Just like any plum you really have to wait until it is ripe otherwise it is tart city.

Happy Valentine's

It was like entering another world and one of the funniest experiences of all time. We plan to make it a regular outing so I'll be documenting here some of the phenomenally hilarious people we encounter.

First up a gentleman we like to call Yo-Yo.

Yo-Yo's Hobbies Include:
Solitary drawing
Licking his drawings

*Note guilty expression at being caught in the act.

Exhibit B -
Spanky prefers to sneak into my bedroom and stretch out on a queen sized bed.

Fish Bowl Friday

2010-01-15T03:57:00.001-08:00

Fish Bowl Friday is a weekly solution to a flaw in my rampagious imagination. I find when working on any art project my mind tends to wander and other ideas pop up. Unfortunately my habit is either to drop what I'm doing and start the new project or write it down on a scrap of paper that later gets lost. Soooo enter my solution Fish Bowl Fridays.
Now every time I get an idea I write it down on a slip of note card, fold it and drop it in the bowl.

Every Friday I shake the bowl, pull an idea out of the mix and finish it that night!
Bye Bye artistic guilt and hello completed projects!

We Are DEVO!!!!

2009-11-10T00:17:00.000-08:00

I was lucky enough to see DEVO last Saturday night in the beautiful SF Regency Ballroom and it was fantastic!!
They played the complete album "Freedom of Choice" and some other delights wearing the suits pictured above.

It was an unbelievable show in a packed small theater I was in heaven!! The best part was the guys on either side of our group had the funniest moves of all time. On top of that one had a magnificent curly mullet.
It was one of the best concerts ever!!

PS - I just couldn't resist getting my very own energy dome.

New Car A-Go-Go

2009-10-06T18:08:00.000-07:00

Well folks, 2009 has been a crazy year for me. A lot of bad and also some good has occurred but I can honestly say I'll be glad to see it over with and 2010 come rolling in.
One of the wilder things was a car accident a few months back that totalled my sweet paid off hoopty.
The silver lining however is that along with the monthly fun of bill paying I have obtained a 2010 prius which I LOVE! It is a seriously amazing car not only for the gas milage and money saved but also for the gagetry and thoughtfullness put into even the smallest detail of the car.
If your looking for a new vehicle I highly recommend it.

Friends!

2009-05-18T16:22:00.000-07:00

On Saturday the 10 day waiting period ended and Spanky and Winston were formally introduced with great result!
They are now officially friends and Winnie follows Spanky wherever he goes and since Spanky follows me wherever I go we look like a mini parade.
Spanky was a very sweet boy and only swatted at Winnie twice when he jumped on his back (and who can blame him).
I think the heat definitely helped mellow them both out.
Below are some pic of the event:

Waking Winston to meet spanky

Sizing each other up from a safe distance

Sharing a cool kitchen floor

Two hot boys

Winnie exploring the rest of the apt.

It appears I've got another laptop lover

Love this one!

2009-05-11T12:11:00.000-07:00

That's right folks after much ado I have found the new Captain to Spanky's Tennille.
His name is Winston aka Winnie aka Wyn Wyn.
He is a 1 month old boy kitten with brown eyes(not green the flash does that) who I was lucky enough to rescue from the amazing Humane Society of Silicon Valley.
http://www.hssv.org/
And as you'll see below he is already earning his keep by hunting Brontosaurus's.

Whats a sure fire pick me up when your feelin low ?...get a hair cut.
I've been needing one for about a month so better late then never, and since I'm trying to grow it out its a slight shade darker than my natural color so when it fades it will be just right.

PS - Spanky's method of coping is to make a fort out of my bedspread.

Farwell Sweet Rufus

2009-03-30T02:16:00.000-07:00

Sadly my wonderful cat Rufus died on Saturday at the tender age of 7.
I've owned many cats in my life but Rufus was the best, he was perfect in every way.
Silky, Clean, Sweet, Smart, Friendly, Good Natured and rarely got into trouble.
When he was only 6 months old he taught himself how to play fetch and in many ways was more like a loyal dog than an indifferent feline.
Whenever I was sick he would always stay by my side and when he slept he looked like a bunny.
It's a mystery how he died since he was healthy as a horse the day before and appeared simply to pass in the night inexplicably.
I miss you sweet friend.

Oh Boy

2009-03-04T23:38:00.001-08:00

Sorry for the neglect but I've been working on a ton of projects and helping a friend move. More coming soon I mean it!

Speaking of Wabbits

2008-11-06T01:08:00.000-08:00

I saw a documentary last night about wildlife on the Andes Mountains.
The bunny like creature sketched below actually exists there and sleeps standing up just like the drawing.
It is a half squirrel half rabbit mammal called Viscacha.

Because they can stand a high altitude and most predators are unable to reach them they are one of the main animals living up there.
I did the sketch really fast while watching the documentary sooo afraid I’d never see it again (Which would be a crime since it's so great looking and I love drawing it)!
Little did I know with a little work I found some images on the glorious web.
Here's the real thing:

Man I wish these were around here I want one!

This clip from the Betty Boop Cartoon Snow White affected me more than I can say the first time I saw it.
Luckily it was on the big screen in a restored old theater. Breathtaking.
The song is sung by the great Cab Calloway -

Popeye Product Lettering & the Ravages of TIME....

2007-09-18T22:33:00.000-07:00

I love vintage popeye anything ...what can I say that guy is just so damn lovable! Especially toys and comics I'm addicted.
Its interesting to see the different ways Popeye is drawn/presented and the lettering they use depending on when the item was printed. It seems the 1930-40's thick round lettering was more creative and fresh but slowly over time the lettering got skinnier and correspondingly boring .....though not all skinny is created equal. A lot depends on the company that produced the item. Both styles are for the most part appealing but it seems more effort was given to the lettering in the 30-40s . It feels like those letters are working just as hard as the Popeye drawing to get the kids attention... as if its shouting " Fun stuff is inside this Package/Comic!". However there is one exception to this theory and that is the new bastardized Popeye monstrosities coming out that attempt to use old lettering. It is done so half assed and on top of that they have Popeye doing unspeakable things like the horrifying image below-
Here are a few examples to clean your eyes with, decide which you prefer - Skinny, Fat or in between....... **** Also Check out the different ways Popeye was drawn in the earlier products like the alarm clock..............I LOVE off model!!!

***BONUS*** Check out these vintage Hebrew Popeyes..even their lettering is fat and appealing!!

***PS*** If you haven't bought the book below BUY IT for the LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*****

Sick as a dog.......

2007-08-27T17:12:00.000-07:00

Feels like a hound doggie of a cold and I am barely recovering( Cough, Sneeze, gasp) but recovering I am none the less.

The only good thing about being sick is catching up on my must rent movie list.

I saw a ton and a few stand outs were - Hot Fuzz, Cemetery Man, Night of the Iguana and Science of Sleep.

Though Night of the Iguana was bar none my favorite for overall cinematic satisfaction I am compelled to also give a nod to Science of Sleep for it's creativity which I love and because of that it makes me want to work on my various unfinished art projects.

To me this fact can heavily redeem faults in a movie since in the end I still leave motivated and excited to get to work with new ideas and approaches which I always love. Long live inspirado..

Here's a few shots from the movie -
