Boo!

By on Apr 23, 2020

  Still sticking with the Mario Bros theme. Unfortunately the late night drawing sessions with my daughter have come to an end. She thinks she can stay up late and promises to be good the next day but sometimes promises are hard to keep. After being in a terrible mood for an entire day, her mother said, “NO MORE!”     It is another process post. I’ve been practicing with a brush pen. It has been a process for sure. I don’t like the lack of control but I’m getting better with making nice sweeping lines. Regardless, here was the final ink. There is something about it that I don’t like. After spending some time thinking about it I think the top of the head doesn’t go up high enough and the lack of a nose is frustrating. I made a nice scan and went to work…     I usually don’t make alot of changes to the...

The Goomba Squad

  It’s weird how things change and happen. When I was younger I was obsessed with graffiti. The tangle of lines, the bright colors and sometimes indecipherable text captured my attention. I loved when we would have to stop at train tracks and wait for the train to pass. I would wait, watching with anticipation for one car to flyby with someone’s tag. Usually I would just get dizzy and carsick. In high school I started doing more research and doing a little writing of my own. Those were the early days of the internet. Before that all I had was a bootleg of Wild Style that I think I got from my cousin. Now there are endless Tumblers, websites and books on the subject. My oldest daughter is doing a graffiti project for her art class. She asked for some assistance so out came to books. We’ve had a few late night drawing sessions which have been really nice. I made...

Do you know an adventurer that has been injured? Perhaps taken an arrow to the knee? Send some well wishes their way with a nice card…     Let the Dragonborn in your life know you care with these Get Well Soon cards. I’ve actually been kicking this idea around for a little while and now seems like the perfect time to finally get them done.

Every Blog is A Food Blog!

By on Mar 26, 2020

  I’ve been reading that every blog is now a food blog. I mean what else is there right now? I’ve been training for this all my life. I’ve really been strong in the “hash” field lately. I don’t cook breakfasts that often. The kids like pastries so there isn’t really a need to make breakfast… until now. We usually go out to eat 2-3 times a week and the kids eat lunches at school but now it is all at home. I will not lie, the dishes are starting to get to me. SO MANY DISHES!!! All the grocery store had the other day was a huge bag of tots so…     Look at that thing! It really was a thing of beauty. A mixture of mashed tots, 3 different cheeses, ground beef and bacon lay under that top of crispy tots. It really was quite the accomplishment. Even the kids liked it. They have been trying alot of new things lately. It is...
