Digital Portraits II: With A Vengeance

Here are some more digital portraits I've been working on. I know you didn't ask to see 'em, but here they are...

Party Bear

The amazing Cassie let me make this three-part concert poster for a show at her house.

Things That Light Up

On my way into your house

I thought that I saw a light
a light all around
splashin' shadows on the ground

You suggest we eat on the stairs
but I want to go in the backyard
we eat on the stairs
and the moon comes in pairs

"Hooooooow do you do?" Says the dog in the night
"Fine, how are you?" We say with a smile

We discovered things that light up
When they are held close to yourself
or someone else

but mostly someone else

Lindon Days

Saturday brought a close to this year's annual Lindon Days festival. If you didn't go, you don't know. You don't even know.

I was invited to take my Human Drawing Dispenser and join the festivities by drawing free pictures for festival-goers. And, sandwiched between the mechanical bull and the beautiful Japense Caligrapher, I drew my pictures inside a cardboard box.

The minute I set up the box there was a line of kids waiting for their free drawing. Some of my favorite requests were:

-a platypus

-a sea otter

-a disco owl

-a computer geek

-"will you draw my wife gardening?"

-a pioneer beating up Thor

-a sunset

-the Rocky Mountains

-a pirate ship in the ocean and a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder and a dragon flying overhead

-a fat old man

The Human Drawing Dispenser has been invited to Lindon Days 2010, so mark your calendars for next August!
