Leonardo Di Vinci

The human possibilities boggle my mind. If it is news and captures the attention of onlookers even if it is history then it is news. Go to France to the museum where they house his painting get inspired look at the Mona Lisa then look at my drawings and yes. There is no comparison just as you cannot compare my chess game to that of the great high rating chess players or my tennis game to those elite. But I can be inspired by those of fame and point to them and say see there goes Van Gogh better buy those vans than a Toyota. Yes Father a little humor can hurt forgive me as I know what I do. It is the most famous and expensive drawing in a single view. Such a drawing is within the cob webs of my mind and I am inspired to draw the pictures of my inspiration as I see fit. So you see his pictures his drawings I will study and view and even appreciate as I go along in the world of drawing call it art if you will but a more accurate description is merely a drawing nothing needs exaggeration for I remain humble in my endeavor to make a picture I cannot bare to suffer anymore illusions of grandeur.

Panda Bears Are In

Yes they are. Everybody loves a Panda. Go see one. I did. In fact such a picture of a Panda makes me groove and swoon to the beat of the music. In my collection I have such a drawing having completed it in my spare time when I'm not sucking up the dust with my cleaners. It's a cute pose with the Panda's head tilted and cocked nibbling on some green vegetation clearly not in an attack mode like my other animals I have drawn with their teeth bared as if to say they are prepared to eat you whole alive better for you to be kicking and screaming as you become devoured in a most gruesome manner. Panda bears are the cute ones they aren't seen as killers or hunters save for fish every now and then is it the ears which stick up upon their large heads that is so appealing? Such a sight of a Panda bear as I just described can take away a good deal of the stress and strain of doing taxes or doing battle in a chess game. May all the zoos of the world take on more revenue and more Panda bears it is the mascot of China for good will and peace and prosperity for all good nations to receive may a thousand million flowers grace our world.

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?
