I’ve used some elements in making them that are licensed, so i can’t just post them for download, however, feel free to ask if you would like them – I can share for sure!

Good Night!

I’ve also decided that the title of this piece is “The Madman’s Family Crest”

The Madman’s Family Crest – Part 4

Here’s two:

And three:

While there, we played a little back and forth with my pen and the placemats, and thus, robot-head-becomes-a-house was born!

I have, however, found myself really missing art.  Not just seeing it (I know we’ve neglected you, High Museum, it’s been a while since we’ve quietly pondered the brilliance of others, huh old friend?), but actually doing it too.  I was talking to one of my co-workers yesterday, and he was telling me about how he has two projects that he works on at home…. for five minutes a day each.  Now, these aren’t “build a deck” or “paint the bookshelves” projects (which, honestly, at 5 minutes a day would be rather absurd), no, these are code-related projects.

For those of you who aren’t quite too familiar with computer languages – simply put, it’s kind of ridiculous to expect to get anything good and quality out of just 5 minutes of work a day, but Marty has managed to prove that the constraints that he has put on himself has not only allowed him to actively execute this task, but it’s forcing him to be a better coder too.

And that’s got me thinking.

What if I spent just five minutes a day on a particular piece of art?  Or a sketch?  Or anything, really?

Just five minutes.  No more, no less (well, ok, maybe a little flex time).  What sort of improvements – what sort of growth would I see?

I don’t know the answer to either – but I aim to find out.

So, I present to you:  5 Minutes of art, the first

Five minutes of Art – The First of the First

What’s this?

This blog… It’s alive again?

Anyway – here’s a bit of work I’ve done for a poster for the band Laura Monk and High Cotton.  There’s a CD coming out soon as well, I’ll post it after it goes to print =)

This poster is nearly done, but not quite yet.

However, I took a break today to work on some stuff for a ministry initiative I’m trying to flesh out still, and I took a break from that to make this, mucho thanks to Mark for the  core idea….

Here’s a small one if you want to post it in a forum and be all “helpful” to people (graciously hosted by imgur (http://imgur.com/HrCdm), of course)

However, because the orange conference is over, I new to get my current one down, so I think I’m going to use this for a while, after I get it all illied up.
