Okay. This is the last of my Chinese Zodiac Animal blocks. Here's the whole gang, this time in the proper order:

dragon

ox

goat

I know it's Christmas and all, but I'm still in the midst of my Chinese Zodiac animal thing, so here's a goat. There might have been goats in the manger. Right?

peace. really.

monkey

horse

sssssnake

season's greetings

As some of you know, our family makes a movie every year as our Christmas card. This year we're a little late due to circumstances beyond our control...our schedules and the editor's (David) obsession with perfection. Finally, after three days of time lapse photography and stop motion animation and two days of post production, here it is for your viewing pleasure...

doglet

It's my little dog's 10th birthday, so the block print for the day is a doggie.

piggie

roostah

rat

A rat to go with yesterday's bunny.

bunny

I spent most of the day trying to remove the 4" thick sheet of ice that's covering my driveway. I was not successful. So tonight I made a bunny. There's no connection, don't look for one.

IF ... little things

open for business

I've been threatening to open an Etsy shop for ages and now I've finally done it. All that's there right now is jewelry (17, count 'em, 17 shrink film chokers), but eventually I intend to put all kinds of arty stuff on there.

peace out

IF ... zoo

Okay, I'm cheating, this is an old piece, not specifically made for IF. But...it's Thursday and I didn't have time to make anything new. This is a picture of Tuss, who was my favorite elephant (yes, I had a favorite elephant - it's no secret that I like elephants) at the Bronx Zoo. When she died, I made this piece to remember her by.

peace.

holidaze

One deadline has been met, now I'm working on the other ones. Today I was in jewelry making mode for various holiday sales. Tomorrow I have to catch up on my neglected graphic design jobs, then it's on to art*o*mat. Plus, illlustration friday's topic this week is zoo. Gotta do that.




later dudes.

miracle on central park west

Hey y'all. Happy day after Thanksgiving. I have no time to write anything - big, scary deadline breathing down my neck - just posting pictures instead. Pictures are more interesting than words anyway.











peace.

remembering

I spent yesterday at a family gathering/reunion/memorial at my cousin's house in Silver Spring Maryland. Lots of looking at old pictures and trying to identify the people and places in them. Lots of reminiscing about the old stuff and catching up of the new stuff.










Thanks everybody - it was well worth the trip.

peace out.

crevulation

Howdy. I just launched a website for Mike Cobb & the Crevulators, an eclecticana band outta Brooklyn. The site is not totally finished yet, but don't let that stop you from visiting. Listen to the songs and check the gig dates - the next show is 11/16 at Lakeside Lounge, NYC.

It's a long url so bookmark it and visit often.

pottery & jewelry

I've been spending this week making jewelry for the Katonah Art Center's annual Pottery and Fine Craft Sale this weekend. As you might imagine, there will be pottery and fine crafts for sale - that's why we call it a pottery and fine craft sale. Some of the artists who will have work for sale are David Hughes and Clare Lewis, whose work looks like this...
