Spring Dance

The record player's cranking out your favorite tune. What? Is your partner leaving? Don't let it rain on your parade. It's Spring and your feet are restless. Get up and dance!

Bell Jar

Everyone gathers round as a new member of the group is born.

Heralding in Spring

I got way behind in my posts. This drawing was done this past spring. The double entendre is fairly obvious. Those pig-tails looking rather like horns - the kind that you blow into - to herald in something.

Collector of Suns

I am now a proud member of the family of artists at outsiderart.info ! This drawing is in the site's permanent collection. It's about their effort to collect and promote outsider art. To me, it's like collecting suns.

The coloring book project

"Luncheon on the Grass" by Ed Manet turns into "Why are We Here and Where Did Her Clothes Go" by yours truly - all through the magic paper engineering. This was done for a Facebook friend of a friend of a friend (Does this mean that I'm half way to meeting Kevin Bacon?) who is working to create an altered version of a coloring book of the old masters.

Third Finger Left

Its spring and weddings are once again in the air. Some other things also appear to be in the air. And, it looks like they've brought some friends along to admire our graceful beauty's token of love.

TTY

Thanks To You - She's reaching for it, jet powered, with a sweet decorative boarder.

Cat And Other Things

I'll leave it up to you to decide what the other things are.

Gary's Birthday

This is a little drawing I did for my brother's birthday this year. He is a musician and you might notice the guitar and cake influences. And, or course, there has to be at least one space ship. Its the 21st century after all.

Rain Man

I wanted to try something with color on this one. I think I'll go back to black and white. I have just enough of a red/green color blindness that it makes working with color a hit or miss thing with me. I just can't help trying color every once in while.

Steam Powered Chair

Wouldn't it be great to have a nice easy chair that you could take out for a spin on a sunny day? This imaginary prototype offers six forward speeds in a reclined position. The power system uses steam generated by a small nuclear reactor located under the seat. Please be forewarned that special reinforced floors will be required if the chair is to be brought into the house. The lead lining required to protect the occupant from the reactor brings the total weight of the chair up to about 3000 pounds.

Incubator

In Q, In Bee, In Cept, In Q bator. Incubator. Dry science on wheels squeaking. No lemons, no squeezing.

Solar

Appropriate for today I'd say. Maryland is having a rather pleasant warming spell - the big February melt. Mind you, one still has to watch where one steps. But, its mud and not ice that one watches out for. In my drawing the ground appears to have grown legs. I wanted to contrast a living earth to the solar machine above.

Out of the Garden

This little drawing started with an idea to have an area at the top with a figure below excluded from it. That premise led to dealing with man disconnected from nature and the Garden of Eden theme. All that in 4 x 6 inches of incomprehensibility. Oh, I'm so full of big words today! And will any one ever read them but me? It's a question I'm sure a billion bloggers ask every day. Well I for one shall just consider this an online diary - left lying around for anyone to read. Or, no one to read as the case may be. Here's one last thing I was thinking about - Would I rather be called a blogger or a diarist? Maybe it's just me, but blogger is so uncomfortably close to booger. But then again, is diarist too close to diarrhea?

Waiting for the New One

Its all about the birds and the bees, or maybe the cats and the mice.

Two Little Ones

I had in mind maybe doing some ACEO's (Art Card, Editions and Originals). These are two tests.

The King and I

Here's a hint: That little creature at the bottom is a mouth. Can you see the eyes floating above? Now the question: Is that me or the king?

Fall

Fall, as in the season, and as in "all fall down". I've experienced both - many times in fact.

Dazed And Confused

Do you ever find yourself recalling songs from your past? I had my very own "Best of Led Zepplin" rattling through my head when I drew this. See the blimp at the top?

Iron Man

I did this drawing after renting/watching the Iron Man 2 movie. Robots, things blowing up, women in high heels, and more things blowing up. I wonder what would happen to Iron Man et al in the snowy icy mid-Atlantic world I live in. I guess he'd still have his magic power disk thingy and could do OK when the power went out. But, the high heels would have to go.

Family Room

I have four kids, so at my house the walls have ears because the Waugh's have ears. And in this drawing the coffee table and chairs have eyes and mouths. My wife, the dog, the cat, and I are in there too.

Aliens and Robots

And maybe a few space ships thrown in for good measure. Once again, I find myself homing in on the most important concerns of the day.

Night Vision

This drawing was named after the moon man in the upper right wearing the mono-goggle. It was done late in 2010 - at night of course.

Kiss the 60's Goodbye

This is the next on the series. A winged kiss, the grim reaper's staff, and a farting light bubble thingy. I don't know about you, but for me that definitely sums up the 60's.

A New Idea

This is the first drawing I'm posting on my blog. It's also the first one I did in this style. I'll be posting more as the month progresses.
