A Man Could Get Use To This

Photobucket
Hope everyone had a great x-mas.  Megan outside of our house.  We got a bit of snow today...

Photobucket

A nice giant stocking on the front door.  Another great Tops purchase!

Megan making some x-mas dinner stuff in her Harry Potter apron.  Such a muggle...

Oh little Christmas tree.  Some day you will be big and strong!

WHAT!!! REINDEER TRACKS WALKING UP OUR SIDEWALK TO OUR FRONT DOOR ON CHRISTMAS!!!

Photobucket
A little hike through Linear Park to check out the snow around Irondequoit Creek

Photobucket
Got about 10+ inches of snow last night.  As I slept in late I got the best x-mas gift of all.  The gift of someone else cleaning out my driveway.  I have no idea who it is, but I'm super grateful

Exactly what the little Nissan needed...

Hiking Into My Brain

Photobucket
Megan at Spring Lake Park in Penfield/East Rochester area by our house.  Not sure why it's called "spring lake" since there's no lake.  Just Irondequoit Creek...

A nice little bench

AND NOW FOR SOME MORE FOUND ART!!!
Photobucket
"First To Fly?"  This is from a school project I was working on, which was illustrating a weird book I found about Michigan mysteries.  This was about a guy who claimed to be the first to fly a plane.  Interesting fact: The character on the right is based on Bruce Willis and at one on the left is Joe Millionaire.

Photobucket
"Manhunter" from the same series.  If I remember correctly, it was about a lunatic who hunted hunters.

Photobucket
"Dexter/Hillsdale Incident."  Something about UFOs or flying donut holes?

Photobucket
"Where's Jimmy" I think the semester ended as this is an unfinished piece about Jimmy Hoffa.

Photobucket
Self portrait from 2003 with silkscreen.  This was inspired by a Russian religious icon painting that I turned into regional humor...

Photobucket
Self portrait for August 2006 zine

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine (detail): Safety Sam was a creation of mine for a group promoting water safety in Muskegon.  They use to have a small picture of him on a sign at Pere Marquette Beach and pass out bookmarks at local schools.  Doubt either are still there.  He's a trout that needs a life preserver.  Then there's Sparky Anderson, former coach of the Detroit Tigers

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine (detail): If I remember correctly, this was inspired by a drawing on Aristotle or Socrates.  Either way, the philosopher was thinking, not sleeping while the TV was on.

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine (detail):  Angel with hockey equipment and my Aunt Linda's dog.

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine (detail):  Man with a big fish

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine:  Raccoon, cactus, Belle Tire guy, and a monkey setting pins.  Also, one of my favorite signs of all time.

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: Crackle with a Native American

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: French soldier at Mackinac Island

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: Inspired by an Egyptian tomb, I believe.  There was some writing in the boxes on the original publication.  

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: Fort du Detroit about the French founding of the city

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: Great Lakes Great Times bowling.  

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: If I remember correctly, this is Chief Pontiac

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: Frauenthal Theatre sign from Muskegon, Michigan, the People Mover, Little Caesar, and La Grande Vitesse sculpture by Alexander Calder.

Photobucket
From July 2004 zine: Lighthouse and a DJ scratching some records for Snap and Pop.

Photobucket
From August 2006 zine (detail): My friends Nick, Matt, and Brian shopping at Maxwell Street Market in Chicago.

Photobucket
From August 2006 zine (detail): More inspiration from Maxwell Street Market with the sign.  "EVERY'S THANK IN THEY BOXES BE $1.00!"  I was sold at the googly eyes.  The weird character building guy was someone I saw dressed like this at the Two Way Bar in Chicago. He walked in, looked around a bit, and walked back out.  It was not anywhere near Halloween.

THANKS FOR WASTING YOUR TIME WITH ME!  HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY!
