1st Impression: Coming up for air at our new house.

It’s been 3 months since the closing. Remember when we got the keys? The relocation encompassed a move of approximately 2.5 miles; but, that could have reduced, if only the Parsons Ave. ferry were in operation. Consequently, we had to go by way of Cuba! Well, we also had some work done: resurfaced a few floors, refaced the kitchen cabinets, repainted a few walls, and added a new countertop, backsplash, and some lighting fixtures.
Now it’s all about unpacking and learning how to operate the light switches.

Here’s a quick sketch in Paper by Fifty Three, tweaked in Procreate. Now back to unpacking before our first trip of the day to Lowes!
Coming Up For Air

Cover Artwork: We Need to Talk, Fergus

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.

Come on! Let’s Really Bundle!

Big deal! AT&T announced that next week it will bundle satellite TV with its wireless phone service. You’ll recall that I’ve already outlined our plan here at portfoliolongo.com, and it’s what you would expect for the 21st century, for crying out loud!
In case you’ve forgotten, I’ll refresh your memory:
Beginning in February of 2014 our bundle has included:
cable TV,
Internet,
gas,
electric,
dark beer,
margaritas, and
nitrous oxide (for laughs)!
And get this; we’re moving one week from today, and my Plan allows us to transfer everything at no charge; plus, we get to add an additional utility at no cost for the first 3 years! We’re going with Nutella©, of course!
