yeah! It’s my birthday!

2010 calendar

Oh Boy!  Another year, another calendar!  I thought this was my best so far but I didn’t see much belly laughing when people would look through it.  I don’t know.  Maybe it’s because I’m a little cuter each year.

2009 calendar

2008 calendar

My 3rd year making a calendar.

funny shaped heads

Just some doodles of a guy with a big jaw.

billy haircuts drawings

Our friend Bill (Blend, from art school), fresh from a short haircut.  We took his picture, scanned it and designed some more suitable haircuts for him.  As they progressed, they looked less and less like haircuts.  Joe Farnham and I drew these.  Same guy who drew the Pizza Men with me.

2007 calendar

2nd calendar.  I custom shot each face to match the picture.  I’d sit at my desk and hold the camera at arm’s length and make various faces.  Seems kind of silly to sit by myself and shoot so many pictures of myself.

peter turns 50

This is from a couple of years back.  He’s even older now!  I found horrible school photos on the web mostly made horrible by their haircuts.  Put in Peter’s face and made buttons out of them for his employees to wear on his birthday.  He didn’t know about it until he walked into his store and saw them on everybody.  (Of course, when he turned 50, he promptly had a colonoscopy!) 

The last button was draw by his daughter Sophia for him to wear.

it all adds up

sketchbook stuff

Another session of chemo today.  My 2nd of 12.  It went really well and as usual, I feel just slightly queasy tonight.  The fatigue and nausea will hit me on Saturday and Sunday.  It’s fairly predictable.  Anyway, I drew most of this stuff will sitting at the clinic, waiting for my 2.5 hour infusion.  It seems like the best way I’ve found to pass the time and even to enjoy it.  I don’t know why I drew the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz or a dog as a gunslinger.  Some of the heads I drew reminded me of Easter Island so I put a couple of photos in.  I don’t know what any of the imagery means.  I wonder if the gunslinger says something about “fighting back” at cancer.  I had fun and found it very relaxing.
