We have two lives – the one we learn with and the life we live after that.

What’s this PENCIL thing?
You may have noticed a Pencil theme on this illustroblog, as I have illustroblogged on and on about this remarkable tool. There are some 20 odd posts about the Pencil here at portfoliolongo.com; click here to see them before checking out the following YouTube video that my wife shared with me this morning, prompting this pencilographic post.
PS There’s even a Pencil Gallery on the home page, second gallery down.
Last Saturday’s Art Hop at Aces & Kings Cheesesteak
I was stationed at Aces & Kings Cheesesteak last Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018. While I was there, I was playing around demo-ing in Sketch Club on my iPad Pro with my Apple Pencil.
Croz Retweeted My Photo-Mash-Up
I follow David Crosby on Twitter @thedavidcrosby. I love his voice, his music, and his viewpoints. He’s quite interactive with his many fans, incidentally.
You may recall that I’ve illustroblogged about David Crosby on these very portfoliolongo.com pages, click here for two examples, three now.
After following him on Twitter for a while, I found out that, in addition to everything else I had expected, he’s a good sport. So when I tweeted him the following photo-mash-up, he retweeted it, and for weeks I was receiving notification after notification from Twitter that his fans were liking it, retweeting it, and even commenting on it. I’ll share the mash-up, the tweet’s stats as of today, and one funny comment below:

Hey David, if you ever wanna do an endorsement deal they could call them “Croz-oats: The breakfast of Hippies”
Water Tower Down There Again
Several times a day I see that Water Tower Down There Again and again. It’s the same water tower I’ve rendered over and over, please click here to see the other renderings. I usually see it while I’m walking Cowboy, and since it’s located between us and the sunrise to the east, the views are generally more dramatic on our morning walks. I cherish that water tower in ways that encapsulate and set me free.

Videodigital Leitmotif with Soundtrack and Video Update
Back to my iconographic roots: Videodigital Leitmotif. Turn your sound on, and say it 10 times.
Videodigital Leitmotif, Videodigital Leitmotif, Videodigital Leitmotif, etc.
Original score for this piece was recorded live on GarageBand for iPad by the Portfoliolongo String Quartet on their west coast tour.

Serendipitous Development
One of my oldest and dearest friends found a videoclip of me playing Videodigital Leitmotif with another string quartet while I was touring in Europe. No, actually they made this videoclip using their musical expertise, creativity, sense of humor, and one of their AI accounts. They took the soundtrack of the above video and a recent photo of me and created the most hilarious AI video that I’m in. OK, it’s the only AI video I’m in, I think.
Torre del Veguer
In the Spring of 2016 Annyth and I spent a week with a group of 17 people at a villa (Can Pares) on the outskirts of Sitges in the Penedès wine and cava region in Catalonia, celebrating the 60th birthday of a friend. Located next door was a winery in a former castle, Torre del Veguer, which I featured in another post on this illustroblog.
Here’s a digital painting of Torre del Veguer, which I had printed on canvas as a gift of gratitude for our friend, Marjorie, the birthday girl.
