#zeruchontour latest leg is almost concluded (I came, I Canadianated, I enjoyed my damn self). In the airport at a Belgian themed cafe. The liege waffles are awesome, as is the #rochefort10 . The coffee here is also pretty damn good for airport food. . . . #art #drinkanddraw #masticateandillustrate

Went to @slothrecords today I did something I haven't done in quite some time, I bought some #vinyl (I had seen that my Airbnb had a phonograph in it, and I felt weirdly inspired, only to come back to the Airbnb and realize that it was not functional, but that doesn't matter because both these records are awesome). . . . #theloniousmonk #milesdavis #jazz

Years ago I read Art #Spiegelman a fair amount; an occasional issue of Raw, and the Pulitzer-winning #Maus. It was (and is) amazing work. The Airbnb I was in had a copy of the latter, and I found myself in a bit of a mood, as it reminded of the recent anti-Semitic garbage from the small minded, small handed imbecile-bastard #trump . . . #art #drawing #politicalart #drumpf #racistinchief #anyonebuttrump2020

#sketchbook August 2019. It's a #drinkanddraw / #masticateandillustrate kind of afternoon in Calgary. I found a place that does hot chicken and good whiskey (in this case, @oppidanspirits 'sea and smoke')...the #drawing subject may look angry, but I'm not.

#ootd for a wedding...dark suit, semi-bespoke shirt from #francouomo, shoes by #mezlan. I clean up ok for the right occasion.

Ah yes. Always prepare....for the wurst.

This barrel aged and bottled "Alpine" Martinez (a precursor to the martini, but kind of bridges Martini to Negroni) from @parkdistillery in Banff, is exceptionally good.

Phriends with #phonographs

Yeah, this is ok, eh. #zeruchontour

#sketchbook ...take a #drawing from a few years back and start using some new editable filters and scripts to see what happens. The subject is an unusually remarkable person with an amazing face (and an equally remarkable mind)...I love good muses.

Second coffee and the third conference bridge of the day...also, very loud Chelsea boots.

In today's episode of "random stuff in the fridge to make smoothies with: prickly pear, mangosteen and dragonfruit... Along with more conventional stuff like matcha, mango, yogurt and jalapeno limeade.

Tried something newish: I cut my coffee with a mix of ground up cinnamon, cardamom, and cacao nibs (in this case from @dandelionchocolate ). I'm sure this could have some great modifications using something like nutmeg, or toddy variations with St George's NoLa liqueur or bourbon cream.

From 2005 (with slight remixing here) is a #mixedmedia #illustration of great #jazz #trombonist #GrachanMoncuriii . . . #art #musician #drawing

Night falls on San Pedro Square. Drinking and #ConnectFour ensue.

I ordered these months ago and they finally showed up. Pretty comfy. #ootd #sartorialism #shoes

#flashbackfriday - about 10 years ago, @deviantart user "gackson" made a 3d rendering of a room, and used some of my #art as 'wall decorations' within it. It's still impressive now.

Another #workinprogress #abstractart #painting that's 'almost' done. Working title is "chalk mark in a rainstorm" and it's #mixedmedia on canvas, then sampled and torqued digitally. . . . #art #contemporaryart #emergingartist #408creates #abstractexpressionism

A #workinprogress I really can't tell if it's going anywhere or not. so, in general keep hammering at it until it becomes apparent one way or the other. . . #abstractart #painting #emergingartist #abstractexpressionism

#sketchbook August 2019. #sktchyapp user "big Al Lopez" (aka @bigalart_ ) ...just used a Prisma app filter over line work done in a Pentel brush pen. . . . #art #drawingpractice #doodle

A recent #mixology experiment: barrel aged Gin from The Depot distillery in Reno, some #Campari (yeah this started as a #Negroni but then I just said screw the sweet vermouth and let's do something weird), some Quina, hibiscus/lavender syrup from @raftcocktails, and some goji berry juice. Not too bad on a warm night.

#throwbackthursday - this bit of archaeology came up today via the woman next to me, from either the first or second Linuxworld (1999-ish). A lad could clean up ok when he wanted.

Wednesday, August 07, 2019

A #throwbackthursday I pulled out in the studio move. A prelim #drawing for what ultimately became my finished work "Tricky...Like Run-DMC" a decade ago. Yes, it's #RichardNixon (may god damn his contemptible soullessness to hell's gen pop). . . . #art #drawing #politicalart

A #prismaapp🎨 remix of a #mixedmedia work I did in 2004 that ended up in the 2008 "big book of #fashion #illustration" edited by Martin Dawber. still in print and available on Amazon. The model was "Kyra" from #deviantart (I was a gallery director there at the time IIRC) . . . #art #drawing #devianomicon
