Allo

Isn't he cute? So meticulously rendered, too. That's why I've chosen him and his friends to star in a sheet I've just started work on. It will be done...eventually.

I just counted and it turns out I'm working on ten new sheets for my shop. That doesn't include new formats for image collections I've already listed (like when I do circles and then do squares, etc). Working on so many sheets at once means I don't finish any of them right away. It isn't profitable for me or gratifying for customers who are looking for new images. But it's good for the work. Know what I mean? When I get stuck on the best way to do something, or get bored staring at the same set of images, it's good to switch to a different sheet and work on that one for awhile.

Everybody Gets a Car!

I'm not Oprah but I can still give away cars.

This Labor Day weekend I honor American workers with gleaming examples of their work from a golden era when the middle class was strong and employees shared in the fruits of their labor. Those were the days.

It's a long weekend so why not visit my shop and browse the fruits of my labor. Get in the car and let's go!

Astounding

In the steampink world of the future, men will dress like little girls in matching shorts and mary janes, and keep it green by growing their pets in lily ponds. That's the promise of this pulp magazine cover, one of several that didn't make it onto my latest collage sheet of fantastic!, amazing!, startling! sci-fi illustrations which you can find in my shop right about.........now.

Pretty Cool

Boy it's hot. It's hotter than a witch's...feet. Is that how it goes? Hotter than a witch's feet, colder than a witch's eyes when her phone rings with the third telemarketing call of the day. Are these not common expressions where you come from?

No matter. You can still cool off with these refreshing fountains. The first one is hilarious, it looks like it's pouring cattails. I think it dates from the 1600s as does the second image. The third is from the Victorian era, as if I even have to say. I mean, look at it.
