Dear friends, fans, foe and lovers,

here's a card, i'm working on a deck, it'll be a long haul project. ace of spades "jesus coyote" style. i reckon a character, especially a hybrid character like "jesus coyote" would be a gambler, a bit of a carouser, and a bit dangerous. being a messiah and a trickster would do that to you. so, it only seems natural he'd have his own deck of cards for games of chance! haha!

i'll be posting them time to time throughout 2012. it's challenging maintaining focus and drive, it's the end of a tough year, and i want it to end quickly. sorting through things, next year will kick ass come hell or high water.

well, i gotta go, more art to do, i sort of feel i'm cheating if i don't bust my ass all day, every day doing art since i sacrificed everything to get here. be careful what you wish for kids, coz sometimes when you get it, you realize what you gave to get there.

big hugs,


cb
ps: still feeling sick from pneumonia, it really kicked my ass. part of the downtime, i'm watching lots of movies. i need to be inspired. one of the films i'm watching is bruce mcdonald's classic "hard core logo," and it's one of my faves. i love the scene when they all drop acid at bucky haight's place, trip balls and sacrifice a goat. epic! makes me laugh out loud every time. i love it, pipefitter the next day "i killed a fcuking goat!?" with this bewildered look in his eye, followed by billy talent saying to him, "pipe, we all drank it's blood!" haha, solid acting, production and directing.

I can't wait to see Hard Core Logo II woot!

in the meantime lovers, take care, the holiday season is upon, and i'm already apologizing for things i'll say and do over them....haha....

Oh yeah, i'm working getting my art onto skateboards, check it out!

will also be posting those randomly next year. 

Until next time lovers,

cb

re: new art.......happy holidays!

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers.......

here's a new artwork i did, actually, i worked on a couple over the last few days, but didn't post them......

the one above is about a beautiful 72 buick i loved and lost..........

the below image is about a lot of things i won't even bother to explain.......except tell you the burlesque dancer was a still i took from some 1930's film i found at a wicked cool site called:

www.archive.org

and i've been wanting to use it for some time............

in the meantime, i'm packing up my place and getting ready to head to kelowna, bc, and it's kinda sad, to once again be packing stuff, throwing it into storage, and moving on.......but this is a really positive move, and a smart one..........

ha ha i picked a bad time to stop smoking tobacco! as i pack stuff up, i am flooded with memories of time i spent with my kids at my place, some fun dinner parties i had, it sucks giving up the place, but it has been an albatross around my neck since i've had it! very expensive, and i've never really been around much to enjoy it a whole lot! i was gone about three weeks every month, so it felt like i was paying a grand a month for a week long stint at my house........

though, it was nice to give my kids some stability, a place they always knew would be there.......

as for now, i once find myself at chapter's in kamloops, as i have done so often, writing and reflecting.....i think this place is comforting to me, in a world where i have always been on the road, or traveling or on the move, there are few constants for me......this is one place i have, and it's anonymous, and loaded with decent books on art and design.......

even though, as a published author, i've staunchly refused to read at them! ha ha! weird?!

hoping you've had a great holiday season, mine was surreal as usual, not because of anything i ingested, but more because of the fact i've realized i'm not really close to my family, not really close to anyone but my children......and that can make for lonely holidays when they're not around........so i've made a pledge to have a great holiday season next year, with loads of friends and family around for a big solstice feast and giveaway!!!

well, that's about enough navel gazing, here's to the end of a great year, and the start of a fabulous new one!!!

much love and thanks for dropping by the past year, or two!?
