Sitting and Drawing

While sitting at the car dealership I took advantage of my great App called random pose,  this helps when I don't have anyone near by that will stay still for just a few minutes. It is free app, for you starving artist out there this a great help.

Jim Thorpe

Marker and Pencil






Considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports, he won Olympic gold medals for the 1912 pentathlon and decathlon, played American football(collegiate and professional), and also played professional baseball and basketball. He lost his Olympic titles after it was found he was paid for playing two seasons of semi-professional baseball before competing in the Olympics, thus violating the amateurism rules. In 1983, 30 years after his death, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) restored his Olympic medals.

An Hour at Paint with a Twist 

Still working on Satch

I Have been working on this one on and off for about 5 months now, added 6 hours last week. 

Here is a little on Bio on Satchel Paige
Joe DiMaggio called Satchel Paige "the best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced". His pitching was amazing and his showboating was legendary. His career highlights span five decades. Pronounced the greatest pitcher in the history of the Negro Leagues, Paige compiled such feats as 64 consecutive scoreless innings, a stretch of 21 straight wins, and a 31-4 record in 1933. For 22 years, Paige mauled the competition in front of sellout crowds.  In 1971, Leroy "Satchel" Paige was given the ultimate honor, he was elected to join the very best in baseball history in the Hall of Fame.

Bored during the TAKS

Did ever do something you hated?  For me is the TAKS testing done in schools, I know as an educator I am supposed be in to this but I just can't enjoy it. I have to monitor the kids to make sure they don't cheat, disturb or mess with other students during the test. So I got to draw to the students testing ten minutes here, five minutes there and I picked up a  Michelangelo book and I did a few scribbles from there.
