I love Alberta, but it sure isn’t friendly to folks who want to use less oil and gas. I’ve got a net-zero home, guess what the incentives to build it were–nada. I drive an electric car, the Alberta advantage? very few high speed chargers–less than half of BC’s. And the final insult, the cost to register my car is four times my wife’s car. My MLA told me it’s because of their weight, but I pay more than my neighbor who has an F-250 (heavier than my car).
Why would anyone NOT want to stay with an ICE car and Gas house? Climate Schmimate. #alberta #albertacanada #ev #evCanada #evalberta #netzero
I started this a couple of months ago, I liked the idea of learning more about all the Presidents–since Trump has blown away all the notions of what I expected an American president to be. I’ve learned a lot about each individual president and have developed an admiration for many of them. I was originally to do them in ink and color washes but thought I’d try something different. Check out the whole collection here.
Back in 2000 I was commissioned by one of the big clip art companies to create covers based on subjects they gave me. I did about 100 of them. It was a really interesting project because all the images had to be Adobe Illustrator files. I really became an expert with the App and learned its limitations. Those were great times where the companies paid you for a collection instead of giving you a percentage of what your work sells for. #adobe#illustrator#illustration#vector
Did this in 2003, background was painted and dried, then another color added and plastic sheet laid on top until dry, I liked the effect. Nobody ever noticed all the clown’s fingers are missing.
Throwback to 2013, for the cover of a Bartending Magazine. It’s always nice when someone commissions you for your style instead of;”we like your style, but can you do something like this other illustrator”. Sure that’s a challenge, but it takes a lot of the fun out of a project. #illustration#illustrator#retro#Graphic
This was a fun project for my now defunct agent; Three in a Box. We all can remember, I think, a flight with a screaming baby. I sure can, four hours that seemed like forty. Mom would put him on her shoulder, so then he was screaming at me from between the seats. Yup, good times with babies on airplanes.
So most illustrators will tell you that they don’t like drawing certain things; for me it’s bikes. But it’s springtime right now and my thoughts are wandering to biking. These were part of a series for a bicycling magazine #throwback#throwbackthursday
