naught is personal

This art-blog is not personal (or at least the original intent was that).

This has never been my place to gripe about bosses or co-workers, or write a personal journal and up-date the public to my intimate thoughts and feelings.

I don't want people to be confused by my personal rant about how this is all not personal, nothing personal is meant by my getting up close and personal with this non-personal triade...

It is not personal; like the skull image I made above (and below). I made that May 1993, for an assignment in U/D Drawing, the theme was "Pollution." I don't have any personal skull-centric bias, I am not goth or emo or death-driven. I just like to make art and sometimes it can be concided that I am pretty good at it, by some people.

Don't make something personal that is not. Look at the big picture.

Seriously, look. It is pretty nice and took an acceptable time to make, and was not done lickety quick (a week it took). I wish my scan bed was big enough to get the whole thing so it would not appear clipped at the top, the bottom, and the left side

odd job

Back in 1993, I had the job of assisting, for six months until I graduated from UCSB, at taking groups through a rope course/an obstacle course where we taught them teamwork, and assisted them in learning to communicate and problem-solve as a team. A lot of things linger from that time in my life, but the one I recall most vividly today is that without support, someone is going to fall. And, people don't rise by being isolated.

more sketches on the sly

go to http://www.ragedoll.com/ ["Daddy's lil' ten-year old placeholder"] to see what the needy mon' looks like in color.

Sadly the others were lost in a hard-drive crash in the early 21st century.

from little sketches come...

...I like the sketch better.

It has been nearly 8 years since I made this, so I know I can do better. Plus, I had to make it on the sly in Illustrator during my lunch. I just wanted to get it done to a point, then {sigh} I moved on to the next thing.

some works-in-progress

Like it says, some works in progress.

The other five works-in-progress I will not scan in yet.

the last day

let the things land as they may, your path may cross a few times.
...or not.

Super

[My son had another acting job. MYSTERY ADVENTURES Toll free (877) 893-6449 or local 702-893-6400 {MysteryAdventuresLasVegas.com}, has made use of his sweet little face for ghoulish performance once again. They told me that some TV crew for a show on ABC is coming to do a piece on their theatre so my son may be seen on TV (soon) if the footage is included. We got paid in hamburgers and onion rings, we are cheap labor.]
