Just brain doodling. I like this better than a journal, I can have links to cool stuff that I don't want to forget and pictures and possibly art work if I ever start painting again.

How to make a transparent image transfer with a laser printer and tape. Unfortunately, I only have access to an ink jet but here it is anyway:

Here is a site on altered books. How to make them, examples, ideas and lots of good links. http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/Linda-books.htm Same site, here is a page on how the brain learns. Lots of interesting stuff on this site (Incredible @rt Department). http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/links/toolbox/instruction.html Makes me wish I could go back to art & design school.

This is a call out for graffiti mural artists from Toronto, Canada. These people got all of the course structures from the last International Bike Show and are telling urban artists to come on down to the sports arena and paint them. The structures will then be put out in the local parks for kids to use and ultimately be returned to be used in the next International Bike Show. I love it when the local government uses imagination, creativity and vision. And this one is an interview (again in Canada)with an artist who does some amazing things and who defines graffiti vs street art (letters vs everything else).

I took photos of some of
the paintings I did on wood last year, one for MD on a door panel and one to cover up the blocked doorway by the outside stairs. They look better in person but if the house sells I may not see them again.

Wow. This is a video of a drawing being done by the same guy who did the ketchup and french fries drawing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gvGDsIYrrQ&NR=1
He's really amazing and at the end of some of the drawings (there are a lot) it says "Learn To Draw Portraits, subscribe now, so I did. I guess he's going to do videos and teach us in April. I wonder if he teaches locally? He's just down in Colorado Springs.

This is a group (they call themselves Drawer Geeks) of professional artists who are given a different theme every other Friday. This one is "Grim Reaper".
There are a bunch of them though.
It's fun to see how different people interpret a phrase.
