"...Go!...to your room"

...there were times when i was young, that i would miss behaved...oh yes! it's true...and mom would punish me by sending me to my room....there were times that this was an o.k. punishment...and there were times that it was...........not that o.k.

"...that old house behind the trees"

...when i was young, we lived out in the counrty....lots of farm land all around us...even tho we were not farmers...and, there were alot of old abandoned farm houses...i was told on a regular bases to never go and look around these.."Why you never know whats there...could be rabid racoons...broke floor boards where you could fall into the basement and we'd never find you...or....or there might be someone livin there...you just never know"... i had to find out for myself...

....i have always loved Alfred Hitchcock movies..."The Birds" and "Psycho" were my favorites...in drawing Mr. Hitchcock i used my trusty ultra fine sharpie...i did do a preliminary pencil first...the bird character, at first, i was going to use a seagull or crow as in the movie...and maybe i should have...but, i thought that a little cute demon-esk toothy critter would be better...after all birds did have teeth at one time...the "Bate's Motel" sign was a little bit hard to find...i found knock offs, but i wanted the right shape...finally ran across it with it's flickering neon...the ghosting look to it was a very appealing sight...with a wee bit of scratching with a modified bobby pin(i use only the highest tech tools available) and just a tad of prismacolor pencil i think i got close...enjoy

....these "pet" drawings are going well...i'm really not sure where they are taking me...but, i'm enjoying doing them...the cats and dogs are very complementary and their owners seem to be pleased as well...the boxer on the left..."Cherry" is Maggie's puppy... i'm not sure if i am going to add color to Cherry, i kind a like how it works with just the values...

...and the shaggy one to the right "Shelby" belonged to Tanya...who is also the proud mommy of "Holly" the cool brown/blue/purple puppy below this post.

so i stop getting complaints from the canine community

about being bias towards cats... one of the dogs that my friend tanya has...

this is Miss. Jessi's kitty...same technique as previous soft'n'fluffy's

another in the "soft"n"fluffy" series...."Thursday"

i did the drawing the way i normally do...2-b on strathmoor...then gave it a little spray of fixative...and broke out my trusty prismacolor pencils....i'm livin' on the wild side now!!!!
