We're BACK!

And oh what an interesting trip it was. (You can see even Carsten is having a splendid time... MY expression is that of one positioning a camera on a car dash rather than that of extreme boredom as you might think. That IS my expression on most other occasions, though.)

No - this trip was full of snot rags and tours galore, from which we are now trying to recuperate. Not to mention the grueling 24 hour trip from the U.S. west coast to Europe. (and another 24 to come back) Taking 3 planes (thank you frequent flyer Bologna) to get from Brussels to San Francisco is NOT pleasant.

I will compose pictures and post them tomorrow when there is less to do around the house. Today was busy, but it's so nice to be back home in my own bed.

The cats got to go outside today and they were SO pleased!

WELL - until tomorrow!

All my bags are packed...

I'm ready to go...

Yeah - we're stepping out for a bit.
I made these bags for Lisa & Mara - Sabine & Marcus' two girls. I hope they like them. AND use them. (The pics are composites of the front and back.) OK I didn't make the actual bags, BUT I colored on them. Yeah it's a bit "crafty" but it also involved some "art" and character design so I'm happy. I am starting to do a whole bunch of animals in my sketchbook based on this design. I like it.


Catch you all later!

Farty Hands

Some of you may know that I have a bizzarre talent.
I can make a fart noise with my hands.
I can control the pitch and play songs.

BUT I need to practice because this guy is rockin' !!!
WATCH the VIDEO.

Camper Bus

We went out and did an awful lot of clothes shopping this weekend. I am making a feeble attempt to move my wardrobe away from T-shirts. We were mostly trying to get stuff to fill out our wardrobes (read AJ's) for Carsten & Tanya's wedding.

I have been frantically trying to make everyone in Germany some sort of gift of the "art" type - I think I have some good things worked out - I will post pics later when they are done.

Until then please enjoy this little drawing of the bus. I quickly dropped some color on it in the computer.

Before there was Red

This is really funny. Well, to me, as an artist, it's funny.

Watch and enjoy.

Thanks, Drew.
