Pedro Nunes

That anyone would be a follower of my blog I say thank you Pedro Nunes. I think it is my drawings that attract the readers of this blog so far more than any other topic although it can change. Maybe later I could get more responses to the game of chess but isn't the sight of pictures much easier and appealing to the masses than trying to understand chess? Drawing a picture of The Great Wall of China took me a lot of time and detail more so than if I were to draw by hand the Overland Hotel as seen in the movie The Shining. Take pictures or photos it is much faster with instant gratification than if drawing pictures by hand. However drawing by hand pictures will never become obsolete. Tell that to the buyer of art work worth millions per painting. I'm not as ashamed of my drawings any more than I am of the drawings of Pablo Picasso.

Talking To An Engine Search

No sane man talks to an engine search but I do. Sane men just don't do it. In the future it will be more common place as computers will be so far advanced from now as they are becoming that their linguistics will be parallel if not as advance maybe even more than the best human orator that we humans have at the present. Talk to the computer then and they will teach us.

Looking At The Picture

I noticed the great artists have the words to go along with what they draw and yes an explanation goes ever so well with a picture. One day perhaps sooner than I can hope for my pictures I have drawn will appear in this blog. I simply don't know. Stay tuned and bare with me. Anyhow I can describe what I have drawn and my reaction to its creation any picture I have drawn. I am not an artist although my neighbor accused me of being one. Am I insane? Vincent Van Gogh was said to be insane and two insane people who draw is more than enough. I have no bragging rights to being an artist it is just a hobby. You can say I like to make pictures and a San Francisco former art commissioner received my drawing of a tulip with a black background and we discussed it in brief over or on the air. He received it. His name is Ray Taliaferro a local night to morning KGO news talk show host.

Mark McGwire

Read all about it. McGwire confesses. Need I say more? Jose Canseco came out when he retired and wrote his book. It doesn't sound so much as an exaggeration that just about all the baseball players he knew used steroids. They all denied it. I Robert of Hercules never used steroids! No one can prove it either. No one would suspect me either I was never the player anyhow.

Van Gogh

His drawings certainly caught on no doubt in my mind and yes his works are one of the most expensive on the market. I've sent a few of my drawings to people I know after all a picture is worth a thousand words. It does make an impact. It really can. Van Gogh had his interesting colors brilliantly displayed as reported. He didn't draw as many as did Pablo Picasso but his short lived life as an artist made him as famous as Picasso. Do I dare compare his art work to mine? Well....yes I do and you can laugh all you want yes he has the ratings in terms of the money his drawings fetch while mine has zero dollar amount with which my drawings can earn but for the first time this year I like my drawings as well as his. I'm looking at the engine search here to explain these ramifications. I can send them out to people I know or post them up on my walls in my house and for the first time this year I have not the shame I had before 2009. I even sent a drawing to a San Francisco talk show host Ray Taliaferro an art commissioner but no brag....sorry for if I brag the end results could turn up in disaster. I could go down like a flaming comet or asteroid. That wouldn't be any fun. But drawing a picture of such an event of a body going down in flames? I'm thinking. Now could that be?
