Putting out the fires?

I'm just too exhausted to blog tonight, but felt that this was an appropriate cartoon adressing our misdirected priorities.  The only thing missing in the image is the bankers strolling out, loaded with cash.

Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Think Big - Draw Big!

Erik Nordenankar had a dream to create the world's largest drawing. He had the idea to use a GPS unit as his brush and the globe, his canvas. He has created a fictional work to document the viability of his idea.



Erik provides clarification of the project on his website:

The War Prayer

Mark Twain has always been a favorite of mine and today I was reading the C&L blog and found this wonderful drawn animation of his work, "The War Prayer". It addresses the wonders of jingoism and the prayers of God's people. (NOT FOR CHILDREN!)

"Live Alone" Animated Video - Isaac & Siolo Thompson

The "Live Alone" video, written and performed by Isaac Thompson, is accompanied by an interesting animation that his sister, Siolo Thompson created. This was her very first attempt at animation. At over 3000 frames, I would say it was not only a challenging and lengthy endeavor, but a successful one.

Nice work Siolo!

Dandelion

I found a wonderful site called Rate My Drawings . The piece below is one of my first attempts at digital graphic arts. I found myself thinking of a lovely young lady in British Columbia named Shaughnessy. She is a burst of sunshine as she enters a room and my inspiration for this drawing.


You are missed Princess Dandelion.
