Yet More Paintbrush Work

More substantial posts coming soon, I promise, but in the meantime, here's yet more of my recent Paintbrush art. The three immediately below are all actually variations on the same piece, as are the two below that. 

Should be attending the Third Annual Comic Expo this weekend  (one of my rare outings these days) so watch for a big report on that. If you're in or around the Ohio Valley area, I hope to see you there. Please make a point of saying hi!

NaiDee Crafts

When friend Dee lost her job a while back, she took up crafting to keep busy and got really good at it. On a recent visit here to the Library, she drafted wife Rene to help out and the two began to conspire on ideas. At this point, Dee has actually set up a real business, complete with licenses and zoning fees and everything and Rene will be working for her as a part-time contract worker.

They're working on a Web Page but in the meantime, if you're on Facebook, check out their brand new page for NaiDee Crafts. There's not much content there yet but they're very enthusiastic so I invite you to "Like" their page now and and watch it grow!

Here's something I wasn't expecting--a new and very timely cartoon from legendary animator/director and madman, Ralph Bakshi! The first of many we are told.

Roy Rogers--King of the Merchandise

A singing lariat and colorful striped socks--cowboys just weren't what they used to be by the fabulous fifties methinks.
