Secret Society




While looking at my only dollar bill this afternoon, I made a startling discovery. The dollar bill has secret symbols on them. So I embarked on a Dan Brown style adventure to unravel the mysteries of our one dollar bill. Little did I know of the treachery that awaited me, had I known I wouldn't have wasted that last hour and a half. So back to the beginning I noticed a slight discoloration around the eye on top of the pyramid, so using my vast knowledge of science I found a hidden symbol surrounding the eye. It was the alpha and omega which are Greek, so I traveled to Greece where I discovered the same symbol on pillars thousands of years old. I placed my dollar bill over the one on the pillar and opened a secret passage. From there I found a sphinx who was going to eat my unless I solved the centuries old riddle "what kind of triangle has 4 sides" Easy. From there I found the lair of the secret society of the three headed snake (it was very ominous). They were supper mad I found them. I took off running for my life being followed by an angry mob, who was gaining, I really need to work on my cardio. Wait a sec. I don't want to give away the ending. You guys will just have to wait until my book comes out, hopefully next year.

Sloth no Evil


Monkeys, why is it always monkeys. Is it because they are the closest creatures to ourselves, so we always put them in the position of avoiding evil. I do not agree with this at all, monkeys are the root of all evil, in fact I am pretty sure they are the only animal other than humans to have broken all ten commandments. So I propose a new mascot for the see no evil hear no evil and speak no evil statues, Sloths. I know what you are thinking, sloth that is one of the seven deadly sins, but I think they got a bad rap for that. I mean they didn't name themselves did they? I think that sloths are one of the only creatures to not have sinned, I mean it is really hard to commit a sin while hanging upside down. Have you tried it? Really the whole time you are upside down you are thinking to yourself "I hope I don't fall on my head". So in conclusion sloths should be the avoiding evil representatives we look to for guidance.

The HULKSTER








I've been working on this sculpture of the hulk, and I am pretty close to finishing him. I just wanted to put some images up to give you guys an idea of how it going. So Ta-Da The HULK he's just so angry.

Zombies



Finally, we get to the zombie post, I know you've all been waiting anxiously. Really these are only concept sketches of my main character who fights zombies. He is stationed in a city a year after the zombie apocalypse. His day job is to kill all zombies in his sector. Everything goes haywire when he saves a 2 year old boy from his zombified mother, and he realizes that the boy is immune to the zombie virus. The government wants to kill him, the radicals want to experiment on him, the zombies just want to eat him, and the soldier has to save him.
His suit is military, completely covering the body, thus eliminating any biting. also no fingers are exposed, because it is just dangerous to have those little appendages exposed to get bitten off.
His weapons include a variate of small arms, a couple of edged weapons, and a bolt pistol, let the zombie carnage proceed.

Prometheon



My friend Cameron gave me this idea a while back and I've been playing with it on and off for a while now. Prometheon, are a group of soldiers who wear Armour of slain angels. The ruler of the land is evil, so his soldiers are doing evil. The Armour does not like this so it drains their energy, so the ruler has to continually replace the Prometheon. In contrast a slave happens upon a slain demon's Armour, she turn out to be good. She also has the Archangel Micheal's halo (weapon). A battle ensues, and good triumphs once again. I am hoping to turn this into a short graphic novel. Anyway these are the concept designs for their Armour.

Natalee Pam Bostwick "Nettie"


So it has been a few months since I have posted anything. I have some good reasons, but that is no excuse for depriving you (the three people who actually follow my blog) of my exquisite illustrations , and accompanying words of wisdom. It is too late now, all I can do is be a better blogger from now on. So I do now make a vow to be a better blogger from now on. Wheew, I am glad I got that off my chest, now we may proceed. I have 3 or 4 post I will do today, but first I wanted to let you know that Jeni and had our second baby on the 27th. She was 6 lbs 3 oz and
18 in tall we had two names picked out Zoey Kerr, and Jade Ivy. I had little nursery rhymes for both, but as you can see from the title we went with neither. It took us three days, but we eventually settled on Natalee. I do not have a nursery rhyme for Natalee, so I will now share the ones we will not be using.

Zoey Goodnight,
Zoey sleep tight,
The dark night slowly creeps.
Turn out the light,
Zoey Goodnight,
Angels watch her as she sleeps.


Little Jade Ivy,
sit down beside me
and tell me a tale of woe.

So, she sat down and said,
its off with your head.
the moral is you reap what you sow.

so there they are, I was going to do some sweet vintage illustration in ink. I probably will get to them eventually, but for now you can just enjoy these little nuggets of wonder.
