Dogs are remarkable. In some ways they’re our artifacts, and we speak through them. In others ways we’re their artifacts, and they speak through us.

I’m trying out some things in Sketch Club, like using my finger and not a stylus.
A couple of months ago I was asked by a friend, Josh, here in Merced, CA to create an iPad drawing for his group’s new CD, We Need to Talk by Fergus. Once I became familiar with the music and lyrics, I ran an idea by Josh. A dialogue and a few revisions ensued. Now that We Need to Talk by Fergus is available on iTunes, I’m pleased to share the image along with a 46-second video below exploring the evolution of the drawing and featuring a snippet of Track #9: Hold On, Let Go.
Standing erect along Hwy 140 on the way from Merced to Yosemite, California, the George Hicks Fancher Memorial Obelisk greets only those who look for these kinds of things, unless you come across it by accident. At any rate, there ought to be a t-shirt! GUESS WHAT? You’re in luck!! Click here.
My iPad’s getting a facelift; well, a whole face transplant. I dropped it a few days ago, and it’s spending the night with Mark at Speedy Computers, in his iCracked capacity. He’s putting on a new screen. I had to use my old iPad for this post, which has an older version of Paper 53 on it, fortunately. Ok, that’s the iPad update.
Here’s this week’s internet summary, and I hope you’ve been keeping up (click here if you’re behind):

NOTE: We haven’t yet moved into our new house. This is an old, innocent dog from the old Ragsdale neighborhood.
Took some liberties, had some fun, with my own iPhone reference photo in a side by side freehand drawing in Procreate after really good crab cakes.
Click on the arrow in the orange circle, and I’ll play T Minus 599 for you.
What’s this about? I already posted the accompanying image, along with others, around Thanksgiving (2014), and the music is an original tune that I gathered into a single unit and uploaded to SoundCloud today.
See I’m gathering stuff up for a yard sale because we’re moving in about a month, transitioning back to home owners from being renters since 2008. Our new place is almost three miles miles from here. If we could take the Parsons Ave. Ferry, it would be around two and a half miles!
Once our friends, Katie and Colton exchanged their marital vows, they invited the rest of us to exchange additional vows with them and to renew our existing vows among ourselves. It was an inspired, inclusive, poetic, musical, and delicious celebration of love there at the Vista Ranch and Cellars in Merced, CA.
Illustrated here is the outdoor backdrop against which the ceremony took place. I used an iPhone photo as my reference in a side by side, freehand drawing in Procreate.
