Favorite Sunsets

I was biking downtown last evening and got the chance to see one of my favorite kinds of sunsets. Picture this, it is an overcast day, rainy, the darker the better but you look west across the water you can see that over in the peninsula it is a clear sunny day. Five o’clock comes and the light of the setting sun shines under the cloud cover creating a magnificent high contrast effect on all of the buildings downtown. Regrettably I never have a camera on me when this happens.

New Year Music

Because of the holiday I thought I’d forgo the usual rhapsody and go with something I figured would be appropriate to celebrate the arrival of the new year. So without further ado here is the fourth movement of the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig Van!

“Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!”

Tuesday Rhapsodies

Well it’s Christmas so I need to go with something appropriate for the day and season and the one that I could find at short notice was a Christmas Rhapsody by Henry Mancini from Santa Claus the Movie.

Santa Claus the Movie is a film I have very mixed opinions about. I enjoyed it when it first came out but as part of a list of Santa specific movies and TV specials it doesn’t really hold up. But I love me my Henry Mancini So here it is.
Enjoy.

Friday Sketches

Camel,Monkey-and-KoshareWell today’s sketch is just one of the better random pages from one of my sketch books. The Camel was on of my “doing pushups” exercises. The one that consists of me grabbing a bound volume of National Geographic magazines at random when I’m at the downtown library and draw for an hour.

As for the rest. I’ve been drawing Koshare Kachinas ever since I had one do a cameo in the Area 51 Christmas story in 2008. There was something about dressing a clown figure as an office drone that worked for me. Something about an anarchist infiltrating the system I guess.
