Just thought I’d share something new I spent the afternoon on.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with Google Sketchup. It’s easy to use with a very short learning curve so comes in very handy for creating background sets and references. Having found some limitations to some of the stock art I’d been using for some of the main sets in the strip I finally got around to starting to construct some of them. Here’s Lysistrata. See what you all think.
Today’s Rhapsody is the Rapsodie espagnole by Maurice Ravel. Performed by the DePaul Symphony Orchestra.
As I was preparing for the strip’s own holiday festivities, I stumbled over this and just had to share!

I’ve done sketches of this Thunderbird mask from the Seattle Art Museum’s collection before but I thought this front angle came out really nicely.
Today’s Rhapsody is the Sunset Rhapsody by Eric Ball performed by the W.S. (Manchester) Band, conducted by Alex Mortimer
Today’s sketch is from one of my favorite pieces from last year’s Seattle Art Museum exhibit “Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris”, Frugal Repast. What I find fascinating about Picasso, whether I like his art or not, is his complete mastery of his craft. The artist is in control and every line is there because that is what he wanted.
