Here’s yet another still life – this time it’s a view from the street in Sheboygan WI looking out at Lake Michigan. The original photo had some people in the shot but I thought it was nicer without including them.
By the way, I certainly don’t think these are masterful works of art but I really enjoy making them!

Truly “great” movies
I just finished watching the movie “The Last Station” – and it was one of those movies that was so good I had to watch the entire ending credits.
The movie was a time period piece on the last year(s) of Leo Tolstoy’s life. That may not sound very inviting, but everything about the movie was well done (IMO): the music, the cinematography, the acting etc – so even with a storyline as grim-sounding as this you couldn’t take your eyes off it (at least I couldn’t!)
I wonder if people working on a film like this know they’re creating something special – or if it’s “just another job”.
Anyhow – this movie officially goes down in my list of truly “great” movies – along with “Into the Wild”, “Saving Private Ryan”, “The Edge” etc. Only thing I would have changed would have been to have watched it at the movie theater with Holly (instead of by myself). But kids, schedules, etc make finding “shared” magic movie moments like this near impossible to find these days.

WoW #1: “The Barrens at Dusk”
Here’s some scene from my long lost Azeroth (World of Warcraft). I spent a few days on this one but really it was done the first day. I tried a few over-zealous things (like a dragon carcas with it’s head in the water) but like usual it got too busy so I decided to keep it simple instead.

Still Life #2: “Sunlit Stairway”
Here’s my second attempt at some kind of still life. This was more like “speed still life” though because I did it in 45 minutes or so – my logic being to not overdue the detail and hopefully capture the feeling of the actual scene (see photo).
I wish I could have done better with the carpet texture but otherwise I like the final result.

SBPro: “Alfred gets Bruce an iPhone”
Here’s another quick one – throw back to the old days when I used to draw Batman all the time… Before there was email let alone iPhones and iPods! I didn’t have easy way to add captions on the iPhone but here are some possible caption options:
- > iPhone: “Will you accept a facetime call from [The Joker]?” <
- Sending the bat signal via text message just doesn’t have the same effect
- “Alfred, have you played ‘Doodle Jump’? It’s so awesome!”
For nostalgia’s sake here’s an ooold photo from the original Batman days – on Donnie’s high school PC via Windows Paintbrush/16 colors!
