Mixed Bag
Sketch of Ron Howard...probably the begining of a paint over.
Also wanted to share a few things I've come across one being a brief interview with Roger Law of Spitting Image...
The video was originaly found on the TATE channel entitled Rude Britannia : British Comic Art. It also showcases the work of Gerald Scarfe!

...and Illustration Magazine has been kind enough to provide reprints of previous issues on ISSUU with some really stunning material. I've included the issue that showcases the work of Dean Cornwell in this post!

Sean Penn Final
Starting to lose interest in this so time to close the book. A bit of a coincidence him being interviewed on Charlie Rose this week discussing his organization in Haiti. Always nice to see someone using their celebrity attempting to do something good!

Jack Elam
One of the great Western character actors...so I guess this is a companion piece to the Sergio Leone sketch since I used the opening sequence of "Once Upon A Time In The West" as reference!

Doodlestuff
While pulling out the airconditioner out of the studio closet found some of these things in an old box...I liked a few of them!

Farewell Robert Culp
Robert Culp passed a few weeks ago and I was reminded of the first time I saw him act. It was on a show called "The Outer Limits" and his performance on "The Demon with the Glass Hand" written by the great Harlan Ellison was one of the best the show ever ran. You catch the entire thing on YouTube...shot in a film noir style with very simple effects (love the low tech make-up on the aliens). The storyline has been compared to "Terminator" and in fact James Cameron gave Harlan Ellison a partial writing credit for his film.
Took awhile to do this sketch...Deb and I got a new puppy and did I forget how much work they are...very tired, but she sure is cute!

Steve Winwood
I wanted to post this last week but of course after losing Jake I didn't feel much like doing anything.
On Saturday, February 13th Deb and I got to see Steve Winwood perform at a small local theater in town. After some confusion about our seating arrangements the theater gave us front row center seats for what was a sold out show. It was incredible, having a musical legend entertain us like he was standing in our living room...and the guy still has all his chops. His touring band was fantasic as well (Jose Neto on guitar, Drummer Richard Bailey, Karl Vanden Bossche percussion and Paul Booth sax and flute), they did what seemed to be a twenty minute version of "Light Up or Leave Me Alone" showcasing each member's talent with a solo. They encored with "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "Gimme Some Lovin". I saw Steve with Traffic 40 years ago at Stonybrook College on Long Island and to hear "Fantasy" performed live one more time was a dream!
Well just in case there are any aspiring musicians out there who stumble across this blog, Steve has started a "Can't Find My Way Home" Worldwide Cover Contest in which the winner will be personally selected by him...just figured I'd spread the word ;)
