Haven't done a digital color piece in awhile. I'm not sure if that's helped or hurt any. Well, anyhow............
And what's a 4th of July without a 20 min. sketch of a founding father, ah? Mr. Thomas Jefferson, ladies and gentlemen of the jury:
And what's a 4th of July without a 20 min. sketch of a founding father, ah? Mr. Thomas Jefferson, ladies and gentlemen of the jury:
"I sincerely believe … that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." *
Hmmmmm... now that doesn't sound anything like our modern society. C'mon, we're smarter than that, Mr. Jefferson. I mean, who would ever think that a nation - which won a two-front World War, landed on the moon, and invented the Internet - would willingly run itself into a housing bubble, credit funk, and a national deficit - all of which would end up making it an indentured debtor to its own banking industry, its own Federal Reserve, and ultimately to other countries? And all of this via small plastic cards and "creative" financing? Ha! Not us, Tom! We're smarter than that...
....Now where'd I leave the keys to the Hummer and the speedboat?...
Ah, here they are, buried beneath this Fannie Mae stationary and my limited edition Enron copy of "The Selfish Gene"...

Hi! Long time no whatever.
I uh...I don't know how to respond to comments left on my blog other than to click the name of whoever messaged me, and then comment on their page. (Is that the only way?) I'm such a noob....
Anyway, thx! And, great to see you on here. I really had no idea that blogspot was the way to go until just recently. Lovely work. :) Cheers!

Pretty sure that's the only way to respond to comments here. Is a pretty straight forward website design for the kids and grandparents, so nothing too technical allowed.
On the upside, now we can throw comments at one anothers' drawings. Kind of like Panter's class, minus the scripts and abject fear of being yelled at/critiqued. Hoorah.
Heya. That's an awesome Thomas Jefferson. He was one badass mofo...Oh, p.s., the reason I haven't been updating is because I have no scanner or photoshop access. Updates will resume in September at the latest.

No worries, I know how it goes with the PS/Scanner thing. Mr. Tom J' salutes you and your efforts, as do I. Cheers.
