Here how I pictured Van Morrison as he was:
Traveling down an open road with youMaking plans for all we hope to doSo much to say to you, so I’ll drive slowWe can drive to France, or down to Monte Carlo

Van Morrison
So much to say to you…
Here’s John playing at Jackie O’s in Athens, OH. He said it was ok for me to use the photo reference from FaceBook that this quick, freehand, digital (iPad) painting is based on. Check‘em out (here and here) and in person to partner with his countless fans, colleagues, collaborators, and clients. He’s one of the big reasons why I’m so glad to be back in Athens.
John Horne – rendered on an iPad Pro in Sketch Club using an Apple Pencil
Here’s a video summary of many (not all) of the digital images and smaller videos that I’ve composed on my iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil from November 2022 to part way through November 2023. The time period happens to correspond to our corporate move from California to Ohio. As usual some of the images are cartoonish, some are a little more serious; there are a few dogs, a few airbnbs, some political figures, and some psychopaths, I’m doing an inventory so that I can pick out one, maybe two or three for a “call for entry.” Feel free to leave a comment or ask a question in the space provided below, and thanks for visiting.
His name is Sean Reeser. He plays sax; and, he plays it well.
I drew him on my iPad using an Apple Pencil in the Sketch Club app with a final tweak or two in iColorama.
Check him out below playing with @ZackGrooves and Everything Yes, Live at Memphis Drum Shop.

Bumped into another amazing guitarist, Lucas Imbiriba. I snuck a little screen shot – as a reference photo for a Sketch Club painting on my iPad – taken from the YouTube video below in which he plays Malagueña. He has other astonishing videos. The fire extinguisher? That’s my idea. I hope he keeps one handy for his fingers.
Something about this video of Molly Tuttle playing an old Martin guitar caught my eye, and I felt the urge to play along. I wish I could have played along with a guitar, but it was easier to sneak a screenshot and use it as a reference for some iPad playing in Sketch Club with a sharpening tweak in iColorama. Check out the video below.
If you’re not familiar with Juanjo Domíguez, Argentine guitarist, then check him out. Below the digital painting I did of Maestro Juanjo on an iPad using Sketch Club, I’ve inserted a YouTube video of him accompanying Diego el Cigala and Andrés Calamaro performing Los Hermanos by Atahualpa Yupanqi. Enjoy!
I’m adding another YouTube link that perhaps better illustrates Maestro Juanjo’s playing (along side one of my favorite singers, Diego el Cigala): click here to watch Soledad.

Ok, no cartoon, per se, just some cartoon music.
Once in a while I can’t help seeing our current excremental political situation from the standpoint of the opposition. For example, just yesterday I saw a tweet with a link to an actual story about how American evangelicals could overlook this so-called president’s sexual relations with a porn star because he was subsequently ordained by “God” to become POTUS. How could the views be so different?
What explains the perceptual and conceptual polarization? I came up with the following explanation, a variation on an earlier explanation.
The earlier explanation:
Words escape me.
