I see this bank of gas meters when I walk out into the alley behind the Merced Multicultural Arts Center, and each time I wonder, is it a mural? Is it public art?
One courageous barn owner volunteered her barn for a pilot study of sorts.
I completed ninety-eight percent of this one in Tayasui Sketches II in the “waiting room.” That was yesterday. Tonight, while watching Shark Tank, I finished the drawing and then added some finishing touches in iColorama.
Nothing political, just trying out a fill feature in Tayasui Sketches II, followed by a few colorful tweaks in iColorama and Procreate.
What a unique, April 9, 2016 event! A combination 60th birthday celebration, soil chemistry symposium, and dinner…all in one! A couple of Professor Traina’s former graduate students, along with a handful of local helpers, organized the surprise event to celebrate his academic career (to date). Currently, Sam is Vice Chancellor for Research & Economic Development at U.C. Merced. Additional former graduate students, a former professor, and several colleagues from around the country and beyond traveled in and joined a small cohort of Sam’s administrative colleagues at U.C. Merced along with a few family members and friends for preprandials, prepared talks, poster presentations, and, of course, ample roasting in the California Room on the campus of U.C. Merced.

Has your dog ever suddenly turned into a sawhorse while you guys are on a walk?
I started this one on a cool, drizzly Monday evening and finished it this morning, a Tuesday, before naming it “Throw back Thursday.” It’s a cousin of ours from way back.
You’re one click away from the photo reference that I brought into Procreate for a side by side, free hand drawing on my iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, finger, and ultimately, iColorama for final touches. Click here for 25-sec progress video.
