mural, art, venice history wall, sketches, mike

the drawings i did for my friend mike to show the chamber of commerce were approved yesterday.
that's mike at the cafe collage a few days ago.

old venice mural copy.bmp
the wall is twelve feet by seventy-two feet

of course it will be very colorful and impressionistic in the next step.
this is what venice was in victorian times. 1890's

and this is my new card.

Congrats, excellent art work. I wish I had a fourth of your talent, but unfortunately I still tend to color outside the lines.

Hi Scott. Onward and upward for you, my friend!

By Ravo, # 15. September 2007, 13:30:31

Every picture have its mood. Looks great.

By MEMXE, # 15. September 2007, 20:50:08

I do like your pencil drawings. Very nice, reminding us the classical time... I like the one in your post "the ocean" too.

By Aprilsnow, # 16. September 2007, 01:26:10

maddysman... i thank you for the accolade. very amusing about outside the lines... that's what we call 'creative'
david... dear fellow, as long as you continue to work in your way, you have my friendship. keep it up.
marius, keep on being interested and you will always be interesting.

aprilsnow... since i have no other name to go by. you are a gem.

and to u Scott,

a huge *hug* for all ur help that you been giving me

By SqueakeyCat, # 16. September 2007, 19:33:38

Such a talent, thanks so much for sharing with others. I love Venice and the crazies who adorn the strip along the beach. Haven't been there in a few years. Maybe next summer.

awww kim thanks for the hug. i am very human and will treasure that hug.

welcome skyspop... browsed your pages. i am sure you are a kindred soul. thanks for visiting.

i am a little depressed today, because after my morning sitting and the usual ablutions, i broke my vow not to watch any television until all the work was done... i took the day off...
the sundance channel aired a documetary about the work force in china making nothing but colored beads for 'mardi gras'... where the chinese ladies work 16 hours a day to make a dollar so people can throw them off of floats in new orleans.
the world is so upside down. i will request that when i die they bury me upside down so at least i will be right side up in the next world.

then i had the temerity to watch the iowa democratic speeches.
being one of the uninsured and disabled by psoriasis, i am hoping the democrats will win the presidency because all of the candidates promised 'universal health care'.

right now i am in relapse because a prescription my doctor gave me which has enabled me to work without pain cost $700. my income is $852. a month. so they had better win, if i am to survive. now i just have to wait and see if they win; and if they win.... will they do what they said.

By I_ArtMan, # 17. September 2007, 00:35:12

thats the biggest question, scott, "will they do what they say"

lately, every president we have had, has NOT done what they promised in campaigns.

and sry, but it just don't feel right this time either.

By SqueakeyCat, # 17. September 2007, 01:47:56

of them all, i think i will vote for the lady. no bullshit.

By I_ArtMan, # 17. September 2007, 03:00:55

your art is so impressive Scott.... I am awestruck!

By wickedlizard, # 17. September 2007, 12:40:43

thanks isabel for commenting... you always say the nicest things.

By I_ArtMan, # 17. September 2007, 18:41:02

gee... i had no idea that i appeared to the world as being so stupid.
have a frightful evening???
what are you really up to. why are you spamming opera.

By I_ArtMan, # 18. September 2007, 01:02:56

he is putting pretting items on my blogs...wonder what is up with him/her

By SqueakeyCat, # 18. September 2007, 04:22:37

in the old days of the internet... i always referred to these as marauders. when they appear it's always the same... ego maniacal.
just whisper and they are gone... no problem.

By I_ArtMan, # 18. September 2007, 05:19:10

well, his/her pretty things didn't last too long...i just deleted 3 things that he/she put there...and when i made the comment about not being beautiful...he/she put the same picture as above on my blog as well.

By SqueakeyCat, # 18. September 2007, 05:33:43

nice work my friend. Can i have it for a tattoo?

By bici47, # 21. September 2007, 02:55:11

kim, i don't think i deleted it. can someone other than me delete posts on my blog?

By I_ArtMan, # 21. September 2007, 20:07:59

yes kat... i assume you mean the ink drawing on my card of the cornice head. it would make a cool tatoo.

By I_ArtMan, # 21. September 2007, 20:09:35

the person that makes the post can delete the post...as can the person who's blog they are on...no1 else can do that

By SqueakeyCat, # 21. September 2007, 20:47:29

that's what i thought... maybe he did it.
because if i did then i would also have deleted my now meaningless comment...

By I_ArtMan, # 21. September 2007, 21:06:35

Hi ya Scott, nice sketches.

By avl_wamp, # 22. September 2007, 19:49:46

hurt, sad, angry, disappointed, etc etc etc

thats how i feel

ne1 care to join me?

and if u think i'm joking, read my new blog post

By SqueakeyCat, # 22. September 2007, 22:22:16

my sympathies are with you kim... stiff upper lip, as the british say.

By I_ArtMan, # 23. September 2007, 00:02:22

i have been trying, scott...but when its an exact repeat of last year, it just makes it even worse

By SqueakeyCat, # 23. September 2007, 01:05:03

do something different this time... just as an experiment.

By I_ArtMan, # 23. September 2007, 02:28:48

what else is there to do...she put me on ignore...and i put her on ignore here...but that doesn't stop what she has already done

By SqueakeyCat, # 23. September 2007, 03:25:16

Hya, All!

Scott, wow what a lovely business card. The mural is going to be very beautiful when you have it all done; that much is extremely evident from the sketch!
