My wife teaches biology at MIT, but in her spare time knows her way around a set of colored pencils. I always say she’s a much better artist than I am a scientist, and the proof is in this X-mas card she made for me.
This drawing commemorates the time my cat Zoidberg was working on a painting of Macho Man Randy Savage, and I came along and stepped all over it, then ran around the house yelling and making a mess like the greased-up def guy on Family Guy. It is based on a true story.
Here is the X-mas card I made for my wife this year:
As usual, my card to my wife needed to include a primate. It is becoming difficult to figure out news ways to include them, but I like this one. I like the idea that instead of elves, Santa just has a team of monkeys slaving in his workshop. There are details I would have liked to include but just ran out of time before X-mas. Next December, this will be the card I print and make available for the public to purchase, and around that time, I’ll go back in and finish it. In case it isn’t obvious, this is a digital painting. I hope ‘all like it.
After a year and a half of doing nothing but digital paintings, I thought it was finally time to once again pick up a real paint brush and get my hands dirty. Here’s a painting I did for my friend Jeff. It’ a portrait of Macho Man Randy Savage.
I can’t take all the credit for this. My cat Zoidberg made a contribution with some paw prints, and it was my wife who suggested that Macho Man should be holding something. I figured a Teddy Bear was a perfect fit. I didn’t know Macho Man in person, but I doubt he hated Teddy Bears.
I have awesome musician friends in a band called Underwoman and the believers. Currently, they are climbing up the rankings in a contest that could land them recording studio time with a Grammy Award-winning producer. Basically, this stage of the competition involves straight-up social media hits on pretty much all the major outlets, and even some older ones you may not realize exist. Anyway, check out this beautiful song. Then, go to as many of the following links and like or follow or whatever the specifics call for. Thanks, y’all! We artists have to stick together.
