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?

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.
