Today is day 62 of the create every day challenge 2014. Where I draw, or paint or digitally paint or do some sort of digital painting or what not every week day of the year.
My brother in law gave me this idea, for a possible tattoo. I took his concept and ran with it, so here it is.

Today is day 38, of the create every day (CED) challenge 2014 – where I draw or paint or create something and post it every day of the year. Yesterday, I threw it out on Twitter – whoever DM’s me first gets drawn. Tune into last nights post, Loz won and I drew her and it was super fun. Jeremy got to me just seconds after she did so I considered him as runner up. As it turns out today is his birthday and I did not have any better ideas (well a few) so I ended up drawing him. Well, I went a little nuts and went for it more like a full painting instead of sketch/study.
So here you go Jeremy, Happy Birthday.

Today is day 28, of the create every day (CED) challenge 2014 – where I draw or paint or create something and post it every day of the year.
Tonight the president, in tradition gives the state of the Union address to Congress, and the world. I tuned out. My Anarcho-Libertarian tendencies have kicked into full force this year and Ive lost any interest that a centralized government is the answer to saving the republic. Voting for the lesser of two evils, is still pretty evil.
So tonight, in honor of our “anti war – all transparent” president, a scene from the other side of the world. –and I went back to painting roots and did something real painterly for this one. I could spell out the “meaning” for you – but I think you the viewer, are smart enough to get it.

Today is day 16, in my create something every day challenge 2014. – I draw or paint something and post it every day of the year. So far, so good although my hands are starting to hurt. The theme this month is “Past, Present, and Future”. -and speaking of hands, I did not do a hand study tonight, back tomorrow likely with that.
Tonight I did something ridiculous. I guess its just, well – my kind of night. (ouch, sorry). I found something in my truck, while going down a dirt road, headed to a rural location, near a body of water, with a six pack of beer, after I had my catfish dinner – and here it is. The infamous T-Pain / Conway mix tape.
winner winner, catfish dinner T-Pain / Conway mix tape.
Obviously this is a joke. the thought of such a tape is pure absurd. But if popular country music in 2013 has anything to day about it – this is the American Dream. NOTE TO NEW VIEWERS – this is NOT a critique of country music. I love all sorts of music. I really dont like whats coming out on modern country radio though and this is a spoof on that. OK back to your auto-tune and regularly scheduled programming.

Today is day 13, in my create something every day challenge 2014. – I draw or paint something and post it every day of the year. So far, so good heading out of day 13 of the challenge I am feeling pretty good about it. The theme this month is “Past, Present, and Future”.
Today’s date, January 13 – back in 1968 Johnny Cash performed at Folsom Prison, cutting “At Folsom Prison”. Obviously a very important performance and record. So tonight, Ile leave you with The Man in Black, Mr. Johnny Cash.
Hello, I’m Johnny Cash

Today is day 12 of the “Creative Everyday Challenge, 2014″. Where I draw something and post it every day. January’s Theme is “Past, Future, and present”
I couldn’t think of anything to draw today, but while doing dishes I got a hint of lemon scent as I was loading the dishwasher. I thought of my brother, affectionately known as “Lemon Juice” (you will have to ask him why). So here you go, bro.
Lemon Juice, Esquire
Hes also a lawyer and I didn’t get a model release form from him so catch this while you can before I get the cease and desist letter.

Today is day 10 of the “Creative Everyday Challenge, 2014″. Where I draw something and post it every day. January’s Theme is “Past, Future, and present”
This day, in 1949 vinyl records were introduced by RCA and Columbia. Elvis was recording his first RCA sessions in 1956. And, in 1976 Howlin Wolf (aka Chester Arthur Burnett) passed away. So tonight I spun some Howlin Wolf, mostly from the Sun recordings and went to work.

Today is day 9 of the “Creative Everyday Challenge, 2014″. Where I draw something and post it every day. January’s Theme is “Past, Future, and present”
This day, in 1836 Davy Crockett wrote one of his last letters, I think the very last to congress – stating his intentions to move to Tejas (it was still Tejas then, not a state – Texas did not win independence until later). A few days prior to his January 9 letter – he was having beers with friends in Memphis where he coined the well known idiom -“you may go to hell, and I will go to Texas” in reaction to that years elections. See, he wasn’t a big fan of Jackson, or VanBuren or their policies. And well he just lost his Congressional Seat in Tennessee.
I could work this one out a lot longer but I decided to stop at the concept. not has happy as I was with last nights but hey, win some lose some. Here you are, king of the wild Frontier. (also, 2 months from now, back then, he will die in the stand at the Alamo).
And I will go to Texas, Davy Crockett

This day, in 1928 a man was born whom would change and mold music for many many years. He shares a birthday with the one and only Elvis Presley – he is Luther Perkins. the “guitar sound” of the man in black, Johnny Cash. Im not here to argue who influenced music more or whatever, but I can say with all confidence that this man is critical to rock and roll and country music. Boom-chicka-boom…
Boom Chicka Boom Chicka – Luther Perkins
I decided the last few create every day drawings were a bit too comic like so I went back to some painting roots, fired up Corel Painter X3 and worked a lot more painterly tonight. Way longer than I should for a simple create every day, but hey. Hone the skill, create, create, create. This is the goal.
Cheers

I wanted to draw a dinosaur tonight, while researching native species to Texas, I ran across the Pawpawsaurus. Well, Ada’s grand-dad is affectionately dubbed Paw Paw, so… I drew a Paw Paw – Saurus. I can see the resemblance…

Today is day 3 of the “Creative Everyday Challenge, 2014″. Where I draw something and post it every day. I bit off a bit more than I can chew AGAIN tonight, I would like to work on this a lot more…and obviously the background is stock image, but hey it works.
Sticking to the theme, “past, present and future” tonight I bring you, Hank Williams Sr. floating through space. Hank passed tragically 51 years ago this week, so I have been thinking about him and his music a lot this week. Ive actually had this idea in the hopper since about Tuesday. Not to get to existential about things, but his legacy lives on here on planet earth, big time. So many songs, so many folks influenced by his songs, and so on and so on. Like branches of a tree. That set aside… his music was transmitted by radio waves in the 40s and 50s, which would put those same waves somewhere like 50 light years away from planet earth (roughly, science folks if you can exact this one please do so). Anyhow, this got me thinking, Ol Hiram is floating out there somewhere in space, in wave form… and if there is anyone listening they will hear that BEFORE Disco, Vanilla Ice, and Luke Bryan – all things that bode well for us not getting destroyed in some plasma ray hate bomb from afar.
Hank Williams is floating in space
Anyway, Cheers. Installment 3 in the books.
