These drawing are like playing with finger paints but with maybe a little more intectual input.
I work in layers. The above drawings is made of five layers. Below is the drawing after three layers. Really fun to watch them grow.

A man can live for a hundred years or more
A hundred years and he's scored
Not only by the words of his mouth
But the meditations of his heart

Did you know that the ovum that went on to become you was quietly resting in your mother's overy when your mother was a fetus inside your grandmothers womb?

Today's drawing.
When I finished this drawing I had ink all over my hands and rubbing alcohol all over my lap... and a new face staring at me.
Art is magic.

I'm a big admirer of Paul Klee.
I don't think Klee ever used this motif but as I drew this I was thinking about him.

Pedro UK - Searching for light
I've been doing music video artwork for my friend Pedro UK. Some of them have turned out nicely. Pedro UK's music is great as well. The drawings are all done with pen and colored pencil. I used 'Paint' to assemble the covers. Tumblr only lets me upload one video per post so I uploaded Pedro's song "Then 2" (below). The other videos are uploaded on YouTube.
While we're on the subject, if anyone knows anyone who needs cover artwork done for video's or CD's I'm open for business.
Cheers.

San Francisco 2003
I spent Christmas 2003 with some friends in San Francisco. They lived in this big two-hundred-year-old house that sat on the prison grounds of San Quentin penitentiary. It's a long story actually but what I remember most was the bed. The guest room of the house had this large old four posted wooden bed frame with the softest thickest most wonderful mattress I have ever slept on in my entire life. I will never forget the moment when I laid down and sank into the loving folds of that luxurious mattress. I felt embraced by softness, and I fell asleep as if floating on a cloud.
When I awoke the next morning I was amazed at the time. I had slept through the entire night without waking up once. I felt wonderfully refreshed.
After breakfast I sat down with my sharpie and drew both of these drawings in a single sitting.

This drawing exists, somewhere.
I did this drawing a few years back. After I finished the drawing I took this picture of it with my cell phone and then I gave the drawing to my brother. Never a good idea but I love him and he liked it so why not. He actually had it framed and he put it up in his office at work. Prominently displayed. For a few years and then he left that job and had to clear out his office so he took it home. My brother owns a big house with a lot of piles of stuff in the attic and in the basement and in the garage and in closets and last year when I asked him if I could borrow the drawing so I could get a better picture of it he said he'd look for it and then after a day or so he told me he couldn't find it. It's buried in one of the piles somewhere he said and well, he can't find it.
So it goes my friends.
I know it's there somewhere.
Drives me nutz.
I'm glad I took the picture.
