Another Goonie Adventure




It's been a long ride up to this point, but has been adventurous. There has been some interesting folks we've met along the way. We got some free coffee from a chip wagon in Penn, nice guy working with his kid for cub scouts. We stayed at a super 8 in Wauseon, Ohio on the first night "Friday." pretty scary place, but was cost effective. Saturday we drove through Indiana,Illinois,Iowa but went right though Chicago and crashed in Omaha Nebraska, Man if you like corn fields this is the place to be! We passed where they filmed field of dreams "which is for sale." Sunday we ventured through Nebraska, again many corn fields trains and Horses, beautiful sunset. I saw a cow convention which was nice, no tornado's though...which sucks. We then crashed in Wyoming where I sit now writing this blog. I tried ordering a Godfather's pizza in honor of the Goonies, but they were closed early on Sunday. I was really hoping I could eat my weight which I think has increased on this trip. We'll be going through the Rockies today. Happy Memorial day! Nicole + Jesse Horst. Jeremy too.

Another Goonie Adventure


The Goonies 25th anniversary party in Astoria Oregon is all I have to say. We're driving across country to be part of the action. I'll attempt to post pics of our adventure along the way. Never Say Die!

The Weekly Sketch


This week I didn't sketch anything, I've been a little busy. I decided in place of a sketch to post a pic of a painting I worked on this week. It is a Jellyfish emerging from the water in the night sky. I usually do not paint sea life, but I enjoy the Alien quality of the Jellies.

The Weekly Sketch


Sorry, I was so busy last week I didn't post a sketch. This week I was outside working on the garden when the stupid neighbor's dog comes out and starts barking at me through the fence. Like Clockwork, this dumb dog comes out right when I'm feeling nice and relaxed and barks the most annoying sound you've ever herd. The owner sucks too, to get him to stop barking she yells all these double negatives at him and sounds like a sea hag in the process from all the years of smoking. I can't stand double negatives. I decided to draw a representation of them real fast when I came in the house.

The Weekly Sketch


This week while sitting in the car waiting for my wife I picked up the old sketch pad and drew the tree that was in front of my car. I'm not too impressed with this doodle, it is actually pretty boring, but I had to find one of my sketches to post. the only other thing I sketched this week were preliminary drawings for paintings I have to finish. I did draw a Frankenstein creation of an owl mixed with a cat and a raccoon, it was a garbage sketch though, maybe I'll post it next week if I feel like it. By the way, the tree outside my car actually did have a face, I didn't make that up.

The Weekly sketch


This week's post is a drawing I made of a octopus feeding a fish to a tree. I'm not sure where I was going with this theme, but it is very interesting.

The Weekly Sketch


This week I'm posting an Easter egg I finished a few hours ago. I was asked to make a Jesus face for my grandma in law. I had basic egg dye and a Q-tip to accomplish this holy task. I think it looks Jesus-ish, the picture is pretty blurry though. Last year I made Jesus on an Easter egg and it looked like Charles Manson, so that didn't work out too well.
