Warglobe Number One

Yes, I know.  It's not so much a globe as a bell jar.  "War Bell Jar" just doesn't sound cool.  Besides, it's a prototype, to test the concept of Warglobes.  Branding accuracy comes at a later stage, after the bugs are shaken out of the design.

The top picture is the original painting.  The bottom piece is a gently tweaked version I made in photoshop, just for something to do on a lazy Sunday.

Watercolor, 12x17 inches.

Jackpot

What with all those walking monkeys surfing their cars and trucks, it's inevitable that, occasionally, one will wipeout and their ride will wind up at the bottom of the sea.  At that point, it's finders keepers.

Warglobe #2, With Digital Tweaking

Threw this in Photoshop one night and messed around with the color using a difference layer.  I might make prints of this.

Watercolor and digital manipulation.

The A Stands For Aquarium

I hope the suspension can handle the weight.  That's a lot of seawater in the cab.

Warglobe #2

You too can create your very own cybernetic submersible engine of destruction.  First, you need to find the world's biggest gumball machine...

Bad Dog 5

They're so adorable when they're little.  Once they grow up...

I don't think Mrs. Woodhouse is going to be much help here.

Surf Weirdos 15

Surf Weirdos #13

Uh-oh!

It appears that while an altered wheelbase gasser with fat slicks is absolutely brilliant for a quarter mile long strip of tarmac, it's not so good for surfing.

I don't use purple much when painting cars, but it seemed appropriate here.

Beached Weirdos #5

It's funny, the stuff you find sometimes when walking along the beach. Most of it's pretty unremarkable.  Bits of agate, broken seashells, a starfish or two.  But once in a very great while, you spot something a little more... interesting.

7x20 inches, painted in watercolor.  Available at Daily Paintworks.

Flotsam

Because it makes perfect sense to put a seafoam green car in the sea, doesn't it?

The Interlopers 2

"All I want is a bit of peace and quiet while I lay here and work on my tan.  Is that too much to ask?"

Sea Monster Repair

"Not everyone who owns and operates a sea monster is a mad scientist or super villain. A growing number of ordinary people have taken up sea monstering as a hobby. Since most of these enthusiasts are building their briny beasts on a budget, they generally start with a derelict vehicle bought for cheap, and save their cash for the tentacle drives and cyborg brainpans, which are difficult to scratchbuild with found parts. The results can be interesting, if not exactly pants-wettingly terrifying. Most hobbyists don't mind the lack of a fear factor, and say they're not in it to take over the world."



We'll see.

Walking The Dog #3

You know how it goes.  You're walking down the street with your dog, and suddenly he gets distracted by something terribly interesting.  What was once a pleasant walk transforms into a Herculean tug of war as doggie tries to glean every particle of data possible from the subject of his interest, while you try to keep him as far away as possible from the thing, which is, in all likelihood, completely disgusting.  It takes at least three blocks to get Sparky back in line, though he still looks back every few steps, the thing seared into his tiny mind.

And you know you're going to have to use an alternate route when walking for the next week or so.

About 8.5x10.5 inches, painted in watercolor.  Available at Daily Paintworks.  Prints available at ebay.

Meditation

"It's awful quiet around here.  Too quiet.  I can hear myself think.  Gonna have to do something about that.  I think I'll give that killer whale a call for starters, have him bring his band."

Messing around with color a bit here.  I wanted something less than the usual bright blue summer sky I typically throw into a scene.   So I added some transparent red iron oxide to my sunny sky mix of pthalo blue, white, and a trace of Naples yellow.  I think it worked out well.  It has a sort of vaguely gloomy underwater quality, like the pregnant moment before a storm, when all hell breaks loose.  Which I guarantee will happen once that killer whale gets here.  That whale ROCKS!
