On our flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Fresno I asked Mr. Foote, who will turn 90 soon, if I could draw him, and he said, sure. While I sketched, he told me stories. I learned a lot! I found out he’s an author, an illustrator, and a retired educator. Check him out on Amazon by clicking here. What a blessing, especially after a such a blessed reunion with my sister and brother and their loved ones!

Hold Still, Rudy
Just added to the HOMEMADE TRUM ERA-RELATED EDITORIAL CARTOONS ETC. PAGE.
Cokie
I can still hear her voice. Her full name was: Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne “Cokie” Roberts. 1943-2019
[My way of spending a little extra time with her. One hour and twenty-five minutes and 3,138 brush strokes, to be exact, in Sketch Club on an iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil, plus a tweak in iColorama.]
The People’s History
A freehand, digital drawing done on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Sketch Club app.
Another David Crosby iPad painting
I so enjoyed this Lianna Pevar photo reference found on Twitter (see below) that I felt the urge to create a digital painting of a cropped portion of it in Sketch Club with a tweak in iColorama. Visit the photographer’s site here: Lianna Pevar. Besides, Croz has one of those faces…. I’ve attempted that face elsewhere on this illustroblog, click here to view those renditions.
Three Models of Public Service
These are some of the public servants whom I admire; in his own way, each of these men has stood up to the most divisive, corrosive, and imbecilic leader this country has known. Rather than call attention to him and those whom he is leading astray, I shed a little light on these three models of public service.
White Guys in White Shirts and Black Ties
50th Anniversary of Apollo 11. Mission Control.
Here’s another one that I just had to get out of my system
The tipping point was this Washington Post article; however, I can’t tell you how long I’ve been bothered by those who think they can hide their hypocracies behind their “pro-life” signs, especially when it comes to this idiotic wall! See also: https://portfoliolongo.com/2016/04/02/big-wall/

David Crosby and the Lighthouse Band
Croz has been collaborating and harmonizing with some beautiful voices lately; namely, Becca Stevens, Michelle Willis, and Michael League, the Lighthouse Band. Listen to all four do Woodstock (live) here.
I started with Croz and Becca on my iPad Pro in Sketch Club (Google images reference photo).
Then I moved on to Becca, Croz, and Michelle in the same way (reference photo by new friend Valerie with permission).
One of these days I’m gonna get Michael League in there!
