The Optimist

This for Illustration Friday's "Entangled" challenge. It's an older cartoon cleaned-up and snazzified with Technicolor. Here's the original pen/ink drawing.

Swine flu

I have no doubt that getting the swine flu is bad, but I find it hard to believe that we are in the midst of a pandemic any more than any other year with any other flu. There. I said it.

Remembrance Day

I was poking around the net today, doing a little remembering, and came across quite a collection of Newfoundland Regiment photos. It's nice to see such a vast collection is available.

More chicken pixels

I've been fooling around with Painter IX today, trying to figure out if it's worth learning to use. I probably should have cracked open the paints and used one of the many blank canvases I've got lying around but I can't resist multiple undos. I enjoyed the process. Being able to backtrack is great but navigating the controls seems to really limit spontaneity. But I'm sure it'll get easier with practice.

Skinny Party

Here's a doodle for Illustration Friday, a site that posts a theme every Friday for doodlers of all skill levels to make something and submit it. This week's theme is "skinny”.
