The Fungus Beetles



These are the Fungus Beetles.

On the top is the Handsome Fungus Beetle and below is the Pleasing Fungus Beetle. They are neither handsome nor pleasing but that may be due to my rendition. I painted them with some Crayola junk paint I got at the drug store for my daughter. The top one was painted with junk water color and the lower one with some junk version of a water-based paint.

Bird in Pants, Fishing.

I love a bird in pants. This guy should've gone with waders considering the water and all, but here he is in his feathery finery. This drawing was based on a photo sent to me by Joe Blackburn who is not only a great photographer but also the proud papa of this little baby.

Courtroom Lights II


These lamps are from the movie "12 Angry Men" starring Henry Fonda (I think it's the only one he produced).

I draw lamps that I see in movie courtrooms.
