OK, these Sketch Club kaleidoscopic, snapshot images are habit forming! There’s something very appealing and tranquilizing about doing them.
I modified the original image, see below, in iColorama.
I’m thinking handkerchiefs…

#WhiteHouseTour
You’ve heard the news. Smart phone photos are now permitted in the White House.
Rather Big News
I learned today that one of the iPad drawings that I submitted to the mDAC Summit’s Mobile Digital Art & Photography Exhibition was accepted and will be exhibited at the Palo Alto Art Center during the month of August, 2015. In the category of digital painting there were over 700 submissions, and mine was among the top 100. To celebrate this great news everyone at portfoliolongo.com will have the day off tomorrow. In a few weeks, when the news is ready to be shared, I’ll post the announcement link and the image in question. The opening and reception will take place on August 7, 2015.
Three Bullet Points
I’ve had this drawing with me for several years. I think I sketched at an evaluation conference in the early 2000s. At any rate, they say that if you break complicated things down into three points, then folks will be more likely to understand them, maybe even become them. I tweaked a thing or two in Procreate. It was rough to begin with,
- Who know?
- Who cares?
- So what?
Please don’t squeeze the Constitution
Some may not remember Mr. Whipple. Here’s a reminder. (Dick Wilson, who died in 2007, played Mr. Whipple.)

The Colbert Report Final Episode
What a spectacular way to end the Colbert Report! Randy Newman playing We’ll Meet Again, with a panoply of celebrities singing with Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Henry Kissinger!, and many, many others……SEE LIST and VIDEO CLIP HERE.

Spatial Edition
Technical: Started this one in Paper 53, primarily because of the fountain pen inking and the color brush, saved it in iPhoto camera roll, imported it into Procreate, tried some things, but focused on color and texture adaptation. I like it dark. Here’s a very short progress video.
Parsons Ave. Ferry
Although an obscure one, the Trans-Bear-Creek Ferry is among the proposed alternatives to link Merced’s north shore with its south shore.
Technical: This started as a screen shot of a street-level Google Earth image, processed in My Sketch on my iPad, and then further modified in Procreate.
Marxist Blogger Arrested for Entertaining Alternatives
After an extensive, six-week manhunt, deputies with the Merced County Sheriff’s Office have finally arrested the President and CEO of portfoliolongo.com on charges of entertaining alternatives. At the booking the notorious illustroblogger quoted Marx, “Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them, well, I have others.”
