The One Armed Man Poses With The Kill
Click
I was lost. Driving along roads in northern Michigan and the GPS couldn't even find the destination. I knew the bridge out sign was not good. The gas gauge was real low and finally on fumes we roll in there and while pumping gas a big truck pulls up and parks on the other side of the pump and 4 hunters get out excited about their kill and the gas station attendant comes out to take a picture of the kill and just then a beat up PT Cruiser pulls up and out gets a man with one arm (seriously) and slurs words to the hunters and they all laugh and then the one armed man poses with the kill and I walk by the kill to go pay for gas because there is no pay at the pump in these parts. (There really is a good 10 minutes more of this story before I finally leave the gas station but this has to wait for the full short story that is coming.) While driving away I couldn't help but daydream about the entire layer of the Michigan existence that I have absolutely no connection to. So, with that... Enjoy!

Paris #15.
Click
This is the 15th in the "Paris Postcard" series. I was looking over my bookshelf and there was a bunch of papers shoved between a couple books. Among other things there were about 15 postcards that were of different photos taken in Paris during the 1920's. This one in particular is called "View of the Eiffel Tower". All the postcards are very Paris and they make me want to travel and get out of the US for a while and see the other parts of the world where things are new and even simple things are filled with wonder. With that.. Enjoy!
No Diet, Wonder Drug Proved Successful! 1957.
Click
You know, alot of what I like about design from past decades is how different alot of it is. Different techniques, different ideas, different angles, different fonts, different graphics, different design tools, different printing techniques and then I run across ads like this one from 1957 and realize that while alot of that has changed maybe alot still remains the same about us. I'm pretty sure that I just heard the text from this ad, "Proved Beyond Any Question of Doubt!" and "No Calorie Counting" and "Reduce Without Diets or Exercise!" and "Eat What You Like!" on TV earlier while watching a bit of the Olympics. There is a saying that is something like, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." I suppose that this may illustrate that just perfectly. With that... Enjoy!
Its The Small Moments That Give You Away. Part 2.
Click
(You may recognize this story from a recent drawing. I liked the story and thought it was worth creating another drawing for it...Hope you enjoy it.) There are these little moments when I know that we are meant for each other. Many people think that this is shown with grand gestures, big things but I've come to learn it is always the small moments that give us away. They are little looks, light touches, maybe its just when you talk you look at each others eyes. Phrases like, " I thought of you when...." or "This reminded me of you..." or "You would have liked this..." always give you away. This was a "I thought that you could maybe use this in your art" moment and she handed me a stack of old design books that were going to be thrown away at her office. "Even if you can't use them, I thought you would like them" See its those moments. Those simple moments. So, with that here is a page from one of those books ...Enjoy!
Here Is The Kind Of He-Man Body You Could Have.
Click
I dont even know where to begin with this one, so I'll let it speak for itself. Starting with: "Here is the kind of He-Man body you could have." Or how about: "Develop A Strong He-Man Voice" or how about: "Investigate Accidents" or the ever popular: "$500.00 for your child's photo" and lastly: "Family Piano Lessons". Take your pick. It's all yours. Good fun from 1949!...Enjoy!
