Illustration Friday: Flying



Free as a bird,
it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.

Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?

Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...

Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.

Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.

Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.

Me and My Munny

I decided to take this Munny toy that I've had for years and paint it. But my dilemma was WHAT to paint it. Was it to be one of my favorite comic book characters? Perhaps a movie character? Or something conceptual? Well, after days of thought and deliberation, I decided to make it a self-portrait. Considering the amount of self portraits many artists have done, I figure I have a lot of catching up to do. BTW, I am guessing that the conspicuous bulge on my backside is supposed to be a tail.

I Sense a Vergence in the Force

Yeah, I know. I have an obsession with Star Wars. Here's another sketch I did working on the likenesses of Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor and Jake Lloyd.
