I Miss You!
I have been playing around with a free app called Folioscope . I am still learning how to use it but it sure is a lot of fun. If you have an iPad, give it a try.

The King Turns 100
Jack "King" Kirby would have been 100 years old on August 28th. He was the greatest and the most prolific comic book artist of all time as far as I'm concerned. This original art drawn by Jack Kirby and inked by Wallace Wood is on my wall. I am so grateful I met Jack Kirby when I was a kid and I am so happy I have this piece of art.

Northern Night
I am using an animation app on my iPad called Folioscope. This app is a lot of fun to use and it really enhances creative thinking. The company that develops it recently added the feature to remove the annoying adds for less than $3.00.

I Love You!
I have been playing around with a free app called Folioscope . It is a simple animation app for iPad. It's absolutely free although it has ads everytime you use it. Still, it definitely makes me creative in different ways. Let me know what you think.

One of my hobbies is making wallpapers for my computer. This one I made a while back, it is a close-up of a panel from one of my comics. I think the wallpaper still looks good. I also made the hard drive icon that you see in this shot. I'm considering sharing some of my wallpapers as free downloads. Let me know if you would be interested in this.

The Big Meet
I love technology. I used Photoshop which is installed on my iMac, but used my iPad so I could draw in bed. I used a pretty good app called AstroPad, which makes my ipad a remote tablet. My iPad screen became an extension of my ipad. Love it. I then went back to the iMac and continued to work on the using products from Retrosupply Co. In this case, I used a Photoshop action titled RetroMatic and used a RetroSupply freebie called WWII Paper Supply to add texture in the background.

Paper Dreams
Sometimes drawing with non-traditional tools can break an artistic dry spell. Here I used an iPad app called Paper and drew this image without photo reference. I exported the final sketch to Photoshop where I worked on it using products from Retrosupply Co.

Black Cake
This image was inspired by listening to one of my favourite podcasts by The Kitchen Sisters. This particular episode was about Emily Dickinson's poetry and her baking.
Digital drawing on the iPad Pro using the Procreate for the pencils and inks. The retro look was done with the wonderful Printed iOS app.
I do the art first then export the photo to Printed. I then let the app do it's thing and bring it back to Procreate. Would love to know what you think.
