All talk and no Cars !


It is once again time to steal from myself...I invented the names of these GM cars long ago...but now they are more appropriate--it is your doody to support them !

Also on cars...I've always loved the older Jaguar models...and the fine marque has changed owners in the last many years...finally to be taken over by Tata motors of India...I remember when people would say ..."Hey man...nice Jag !!!"

If I had my old Mark 10 right hand drive, back again, and my 1976 XJ12L in my driveway....would I hear ..."Hey man ....Nice Tata's"

I hope not.....

back to the pec deck for more flyes

My Favorite Picture


I was on the beach a few weeks ago --and saw this --just had to shoot it--click on it to see a larger image....I wonder why there is a fireplug on the beach?
Is it in case the sand catches on fire?
this is an Anaglyph I tried to make from 2 separate angles--I do get the "Gull Friend" out in front with Vancouver in the Background.

I was going to do one O' my animated movies for ya...but I didn't like the end result..so this time it was just snaps with my 30 cent camera.

You say KOMODO I say KIMONO

Komodo Dragon

Two Komodo Dragons were accused of killing a man recently...it was not drug or gang related...the Dragons were waiting for the fellow to fall off the tree he was picking fruit on...it might have been justified..

who knows if it wasn't their fruit..
their tree??


And with a name like Komodo..don't you think the defense lawyer will be quick to point out the Dragons being bullied in school with things like....

"Hey Dragons--go back to your Commode"

Meanwhile...a Kimono Dragon might be an iffy partner in a dollar a dance club...it might be hard to slip away without being ...dare I say...."frenched"

Me such BAD man !

This is a rant about the GYM today....Psychiatric help anyone ??


When I started this BLOG it was going to be just an occasional humorous bit of artwork or animation...and my "Bench Bozo" was going to be JUST my Bench Press training--and never the twain shall meet....well, today some merging has taken place and gym stuff (irrational mumbling) has become today's Thorndike Pickledish talking bloggeroo---relapse and enjoy... 2 minutes of me ruminating over the rant that IS the masked gym whistler....

Anatomy of a Brain Amateurism !


I did this in the free Program "Project Dogwaffle" used the mouse to draw it.

Then I took the ONE panel and stretched it in the old "MOHO" program --MOHO is now improved and called "Anime Underwear" or some name with the word "Anime" in it....
I made 58 frames--repeated them-to 232 at 8 frames a second--I ad libbed a voice track to it and here is 29 seconds of silly thinking out loud..


It's a fun way to blog --when you don't type out your thoughts for the day..but instead do a 'talking letter' to expose the workings of your 35 cent computer and it's inner drawing board....

I like this one today--but tomorrow --or maybe later tonite --I'll probably be embarrassed and want to send it to the messy art grave yard.
