Murdering Mike
August 26, 2019
I created this piece of the character "Murdering Mike (Jonathan Banks)" from the TV shows, Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad. It was done in Procreate on iPad Pro. 2019. I originally wanted to try out some new pencil brushes and in the end added charcoal brushes to make the background. Fun and spontaneous.

The Two Most Hated Men In America

This image pretty much says it all. Two assholes who would sell their own country down the drain for money.

Somebody Punked Trumpty-Dump
July 25, 2019
Trumpty-Dump walked, beaming, onto the stage at Turning Point USA’s student summit in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to loud applause from the attendees, as a huge image of the “Seal of the President of the United States” was projected on a screen behind him.
The national symbol was replaced by a two-headed eagle, and instead of arrows, in its claw was a clutch of golf clubs. The national motto — “E pluribus unum,” meaning “out of many, one” — was replaced by the Spanish phrase “45 es un títere”, or in English, “45 [designating Trumpty-Dump, as the 45th president] is a puppet.” There is also money in the other claw.
A historical symbol of empire and dominance, the double-headed eagle on the fake seal resembles the bird on the coat of arms of the Russian Federation, which is an adaptation of the emblem of the Russian empire under the czars.
The Washington Post first reported the mix-up, and a reader found that a website sells items displaying what appears to be the same seal. Other merchandise sold by the site called “OneTermDonnie” also makes fun of Trumpty-Dump. The seller’s description reads: “Dedicated to the cause of ensuring Trumpty-Dump serves no more than one term as the President of the United States.”
Turning Point has fired the aide responsible for displaying the fake seal, the Post reported Thursday afternoon.
That fake seal definitely sums up this prick and should be his permanent seal while he is shaming the office of the United States presidency. He really does not even come close to representing the true nature of the real symbol. Fuck you Trumpty-Dump!

Lana Baby

"Portrait of Lana In A Hat", by me. Using the app Procreate on iPad Pro (2019). Lana gave me my walking papers. I knew it was coming. I just didn't think it would be this soon. Oh, woe is me. There goes my latest muse.

Look What I Just Acquired
July 17, 2019
"Portrait of Mickey Rooney" by Bernie Fuchs. Oil and Contè Crayon on canvas (19 inches X 26 inches). I was a little bit leery about the quality of the painting before I received it. The photos I saw did not do it justice and I did hesitate to buy it. The price was low enough, so I bit on it. Upon opening the package and seeing it live for the first time, I was completely blown away. This is one of those works of art that you must see in person in order to appreciate all of the subtleties that make it so great. Fuchs was at the top of his artistic abilities when he did this piece and I feel exceptionally grateful to own it and to learn from this master painter and artist.

Brand X turns out to be Bland X
June 30, 2012
Watched the first episode of Russell Brand's new half hour show on FX. I probably would not have seen it, except it aired immediately after the very funny Louie (which is one of my favorite series currently on television). Lets check it out! I wish I hadn't. It was surprisingly unfunny and had one of the worst setups I have ever seen.
Russell walked around on a small stage (holding que cards with the name of his show on them and looking very much like a rock & roll version of Jerry Springer). Off to his right is a small video screen that Brand used quite often to show faces of whoever he is making fun of, and he also had a sidekick sitting behind a desk next to the screen, laughing at all of his words of supposed wisdom.
The studio audience was mostly filled with horny women (who have absolutely no chance of ending up in the sack with him). And, every now and then Brand would interact with them. Probably, to take their minds off of how bad this is.
This was like the producers asked Brand to do a stand-up gig and forgot to give him a theme. So, he just jumped out of bed, took a limo to the studio, stepped out on stage unrehearsed and tried his uncaring best to make something out of nothing. It didn't work and I'm sure he picked up his check as he left for home.
I will not be wasting a half hour of my life again with this dribble any time soon.

It's Official: G. Dub endorses the Mitt Glove
May 15, 2012
My first blog here, sadly enough is just as depressing as the last one. It involves the worst president that this country has ever had.
George W. Bush is backing presumptive Republican White House nominee Mitt Romney. The former president offered a four-word endorsement of Romney as the doors of his elevator were closing after a speech Tuesday in Washington.
Bush said: "I'm for Mitt Romney."
ABC News caught Bush after the speech, prompting his unscripted - but not surprising - endorsement.
Bush's parents, former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, endorsed Romney in March during an appearance in Texas. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush also publicly backed Romney. (Will these evil people ever go away?!!!)
Romney's campaign issued a brief statement welcoming the support.
Since leaving office in January 2009, George W. Bush has tried to avoid politics. He left Washington deeply unpopular with voters who blamed him for the economic crisis that unfolded on his watch.
My ulcer is acting up again.
