180 Tale of a Big Blue Whale

This great whale wanders the vast ocean but he is never alone for he always carries company on his back.

179 Human Mascot

I always wonder who is really under those huge mascots that you see at sporting events or at amusement parks.

178 Right Hand of the Devil

He's a very suave devil and the little hand pupped is oh so cute :) I drew this up while having some lunch at whole foods. I think some of the folks around me were a little startled when they looked at my drawing pad but that didnt bother me. I love eating and drawing there. It has such a big city feel. I suppose its a little practice to prepare me for my big city move ;)

177 Siamese Duck

When I look at a duck floating on a lake I always wonder whether it is a reflection or a siamese duck :P

Tour de Fat Amigos

For this magnificent bike parade I carried around with me my Diana mini 35mm camera. I have a love of film that I do not share with the digital medium of photography. Dont get me wrong I think that digital is great and I use some expensive slr's for my professional work but for photographs for me I stick to film. This film is very special because it comes from the Agfa factory which no longer runs. It provides wonderfully vibrant colors that no other film has the ability to deliver. The diana camera creates a dreamlike blur which is perfect for the bottom shot because it seems like a scene right out of a dream with a girl jump ropping between two bikes. The camera is also a halframe camera which went extinct ages ago. It lets me take 2 shots on one single frame. It is amazing. For me this camera was love at first sight. I bought it when I first saw it without a moments hessitation. The top frame of this pictue just came out so well and is the perfect example of shooting from the hip. As I was on my bike I simply turned around and took some shots of these three guys in thier wrestling outfits. They look like 3 badass wrestlers out for a ride. It reminds me of a scene right out of a comic book where the heroes strike a pose when they arrive somewhere :P

176 Long John Silver

I believe this to be the infamous pirate who started up all of those delicious fast food chains :P

175 Volcano Crab

(Read as if a British announcer were reading this) This docile denizen of the deep lives in the shadows and thrives with isolation from other creatures. It is a modest creature that lives a humble life feeding on any bit of sustenance that may travel to the very bottom of the ocean floor. The Volcano Crab is a quite and elusive hermit but if confronted by a threat the crab has a unique ability to defend itself by spewing boiling sulfurous waters from the top of its shell thus earning its name.

174 Alone on the Sea of Type

As I designed my typeface I imagined myself in solitude in a boat amidst a sea of letters. The waters were murky and foreboeding. I designed for what seemed like an eternity. Land was but a dream that taunted me almost to the brink of insanity. It was a journey that songs and stories will be written about. Probablly not but it certainly was not easy. I feel truly accomplished as if I did cross a great sea :)

173 Bear Hunter

So I didnt have my handy dandy pad of paper so I experimented with some newspaper. Its not a very good paper. In fact one of the worst to draw on but It gives an interesting texture. I delve deeper into other papers ;)

172 Wealthiest King

Mmm delicious. I wish those were chocolate gold coins. Its been ages since Ive had them.
