Rummler 143 Jenai

I once knew a young woman by the name of Jenai who happened to be sitting next to me when I started this drawing. After just a few lines, I said said to her - 'I think this is going to wind up being one of my best.'
So I named it after her.

Rummler 140


I have this goal, one of several among too many, to make this blog an interesting place for people to visit on a regular basis. Today's featured painting with a bit of philocomiphy, or funny philosophy, or just plain complaining about things. Everyone loves a complainer, after all.

This is....no, sorry, 'this is' is a bad way to write. The word 'is' is a word to be avoided. For example, I could have said 'One should avoid using the word 'is.' '

Today's posting/painting marks the first installment of The Daily Feature. I could have said 'this is the first painting to be featured as 'the daily painting.' Can you FEEL the difference in your heart? I sure can. It makes me want to be a kitten again.

I don't like starting paragraphs or sentences with I either.

Spell checkers save me from displaying my truly bad spelling.

I love you. That's a sentence that starts with I that i like.

Why do I spell the same words wrong all the time? You'd think I'd have learned how to spell sentence instead of sentance by now.

Go figure.

Have a nice day now!

Rummler 12 Spiders Lair



Inside the spiders lair you'll find nothing other than the sleeves worn while Ted hid underneath the carpet. He was waiting for the communists, whom he knew hid under the bed, to emerge and lay waste to his pathetic abode. But Ted knew the way they worked, those evil dirty rotten commie bastards. First, his abode; next, the world. Ted is a very sullen man, and he has no love of sleeves. Don't be alarmed though, for Ted is now under the bed, and he will protect you for as long as you're sleeping and dreaming of the flag.

Rummler 14 'The Money Maker'




A few years ago at a New Years Eve party - actually, at the end of a New Years Eve party, as it was actually New Years day, morning, everyone had gone home except those of us who helped make the party happen, I showed my sketchbook to this guy - I think his name might have been Otis Oneguy. He actually looked at all the paintings I had, which is cool, and when he came to this one, he exclaimed/pronounced/declared immediately "This One's The Money Maker!"

So that's how it got the name.

Rummler 17d - Pleasantly Reminiscent of Moistness


Thanks to John Murray for the name idea. I think this was actually inspired by an MC. Escher work where you're looking at a rutted dirt road, there's a puddle with reflections of the trees above, leaves upon the ground. Very nice. Mine's got color in it. His is more realistic - he could actually draw, which I actually can't do very well.


Rummler 7



I'm thinking about calling this one Kandinsky's Chickens.

This is one of my favorites. I'm pretty sure I wasn't thinking of anything underwater when I was making it, but it does have that look to it.

I must have gone swimming or something in a previous lifetime.

Rummler 16 Grotto in Green and Blue



The Grotto; Spaces of thinness between realities; places womb-like where the energy emerging from the source of creation is nearby; places to meditate and/or dance protected from Bears, Tigers, Wolves, and other terrorist types; places to transform self and world. I really like grottos. I want to live in a nice grotto with an ocean view.
