re: home sweet home.....

ahhhh, home, i love it and hate it! hahaha

anyway lovers,

don't get me wrong, i love traveling, i love making art, i love meeting new peoples, i love wrecking new places, but it's nice to get back home. plus, i usually do extended tours, or am gone a week or six at a time. all my plants have died, well, not all, i've got four that are heartily still giving it a go. haha.

but i miss my kids dearly, and even though each trip is supposed to expand my mind, or my group of contacts, i don't really believe it is always that beneficial? the art world, like any world is full of liars, sycophants, double talkers, back stabbers and the like, but it is also full of potential patrons, friends, lovers, leavers, and the like, so it really is a fun way to navigate the world.

just be smart. or stupid. whatever. hahahaha, don't take advice from me.

i am just as capable of self-sabotage as well as anyone else! and i often do it by accident, and sometimes by design! hahahahahahah.

anyway, here's some images from the road.

enjoy!

re: colouring book coming up....

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

well, this maybe a bit of a surprise, given that i have so much free time. not.

but i've decided to do a kids colouring book. i've got 4 or 5 kids, so, what the hell? why not have a cool colouring book? lately, i've been obsessed with drawing creatures, little monsters, and cute things, as most of my kids are girls, they're always asking me to draw them cute things. i do, cute half burnt marshmellow creatures smiling and holding a burnt stick, cyclops creatures, sasquatches, skull flowers, and the like.

for example:

cute sketch for my kids.

puking bear, alcoholic reject

from the carebears.

little monster.

kinda spooky drawing/sketch

weird innit?

totally unintentional, i just drew it out.

quickly.

i love this one, the eyeball tentacle creatures.

and the weird tiki monsters to the left.

fun! FUN! FUUUUUNN!

a really old chris bose painting

i did for my granny like nearly 20 years ago.

it was at her house, and i hadn't seen it in years.

a total surprise and flashback.

pss: by the way, i just realized i've already posted more than 30 times. i'm totally kicking this years ass.
