I'm rushing this post while I'm at a cafe with my daughter. She had her last art class today and I took her out for a treat. She wanted to see how I post to a website.

This sketch took a good long while to get done.
I have many excuses, but you shouldn't really care about any of them. :)

Enjoy!

Virtually walking around the building had some pretty interesting views but I liked the mural on the end of this particular spoke in this one.

I think this gag might be a bit too late.
Others must have made similar fictional observations by now? 

Was fun to draw though. 

Learning as I go.

Donatello, having been separated from the other turtles during the fracas, retreats to the nearest pizza joint. Unbeknownst to him, the pizza maiden behind the counter is actually his long lost gym teacher. Tune in next week...

When I was a ripe youngling I went ape-shit for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I drew them constantly. I ran through the school yard bellowing the cartoon's theme song from the pits of my gutty-werks. I read the comics. Watched the show. Played the sweet, 4 player upright at the arcade. Eastman and Laird have supplied my childhood with much joy and I thank them for it.

I was thinking about this when I bemused to myself, 'without looking up any source material, could I scratch out a turtle from memory?'

Nailed it? Not likely, but it sure was fun. :)

I've been slack with painting buildings on my iPad lately and for that I am most sorry.

Well.. that's not entirely true, there have been a few commissions from a local real estate agent team. Whenever they sell a house, the purchaser will receive a painting of it done by myself. I thought that it was a pretty clever addition to the sale so I've accepted a number of them over the past few weeks. 

The one below is one I was about halfway done when the commissions came in. Since they've been completed I've had more time to finish this one.

It's a prezzie for my folks. Fortunately I can show it here as they aren't all that tubes savvy. 

Enjoy!
