Old GMC Pickup Truck…1961? on El Portal

This beauty caught my eye earlier today while I was walking Cowboy. It’s either a 1960 or 1961 GMC pickup truck.
I took this iPhone photo around 7:45 am, imported it into Procreate, and sketched it side by side, freehand.

Neighborhood Schoolbus

Neighborhood Schoolbus

Schoolbus pulling onto El Portal from Cascade Creek in the morning. I wanted to catch it rounding the corner behind the stop sign with my iPhone camera.

I used the photo reference to render a side by side, freehand sketch in Procreate followed by final processing in iColorama.

That which goes up (in smoke). Etymology.

Preliminary quadrangular drawing done in Sketch Club followed by tweaking and photo editing in Procreate.

That’s when Cowboy and I saw this old car in nearby Rahilly Park.

Underground Metanoia

A few days ago on Fresh Air Terry Gross interviewed Lutheran pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber. This image came to mind during the interview while Bolz-Weber was describing how, in some instances, perhaps more often than we’re inclined to believe, church basements are where things are really happening.

Started this one in Sketch Club, but I couldn’t export the image to my iPhotos because of a glitch associated with today’s iPad operating system update, which has imbalanced the heck out of a couple of apps. So I screen shot the captive image and opened it up in Procreate and iColorama, where I tweaked away without signing it. I kinda’ like it, so I’m posting it before hitting the sack.

Remembering Katrina

Prints (and other accessories) like this one are already or can easily become available for online purchase via Redbubble (click here for an illustration, a 17″ X 12″ black box framed print, off white matte).
Remembering Katrina

Satelite images of her almost filled the entire Gulf of Mexico. Nowadays she’s etched in our memories one way or another.

This digital painting was executed on an iPad in Procreate and iColorama using a sty-HD stylus couple of weeks after the 10th anniversary of Katrina.
