These Drawings Are Full of Hot Air

50th Post Celebration!!!



Happy 50th Blog! Hooray! If that isn't reason enough for you to celebrate, chew on this...

I just finished another sketchbook and have started on a 50 page, 100 lb sketchbook, with a slippery green cover. It sucks, because I have lots to write and several tricks to play on paper, but it's such a nice sketchbook. I'm going to hate ruining it.

Hot air balloons have such a fascinating history! I have a hunch that more balloon-oriented motifs are destined to drift into my sketchbook pages. These drawings are part of a new fascination with the air crafts.

Also, I'm giving away drawings on my myspace page. If you are part of the myspace cult (tee-hee), then you can check out http://www.myspace.com/glasshopper, where I've posted most of the work you see on this site and more. Check out my Top Friends List and figure out what the theme is. At the end of the week I'll mail a drawing of mine to a contestant picked at random.

So after looking back over all the drawings you've posted to your blog of late, I discovered something...I can totally see this as the art that would be on album covers and the like. Thus...are you putting this kind of stuff on YOUR album art? Do you even have an album of your music? If you don't, I totally think you should consider it...

...but that's my two cents. And then some.

Wow. Nastly Butler. You nailed me. I'm actually doing an album cover for this wickedly wild band "Murder Mystery" and was just asked to contribute to another musical project. I'll post that stuff when its ready.
