Total Bluesers

My wife’s ukulele teacher’s blues band. They did an awesome rendition of “Red House” and a smokin’ (pardon the pun) version of John Lee Hooker’s “Burning Hell“.

Clyde the tortoise

He’s a great pet; about 25 inches long and loves to eat grass.

Not far from our home. Nice shady spot for a bite to eat and a sketch.

Daughter reading

I’ve rediscovered a 1.4mm mechanical pencil with some old art supplies and giving it a whirl. Also, heh, her actual hair color is somewhere between the two; I was just trying out different colors for fun…

Cooking up a storm…

Joan Cooking

A couple of notes: 1. She was moving so fast it was hard to capture in a sketch, and 2. Her skirt isn’t quite that short — I don’t know what happened, maybe the old fear of the edge of the paper syndrome…

Car wash sketch

My old car at the car wash

My old car receiving better treatment than it probably deserves.

Lily practicing for a performance

I threw some Photoshop color on this just for fun.

The Rappin’ Mathematician


I’m not sure why this is the third post recently of someone standing in front of an audience with a microphone. Coincidence, I suppose.

Anyway, this was at a PTA meeting I attended with my daughter this evening. The guest speaker was Alex Kajitani, aka the “Rappin’ Mathematician”. He was very inspiring, talking about reaching middle school kids using rap to teach algebra. Here’s a YouTube video from a CBS newscast that explains it pretty well. He was showing us his student – produced music videos about parallel lines and negative and positive numbers. I got the room pretty well, and his physical attitude, but I was not so good with his likeness. So, when he sat down after the presentation, I got to remedy that:


These were both line drawings done in my sketch book at the event, then brought home, scanned and value added in Photoshop.

Sketches from the public education meeting


These were some quick line drawings that I did during the meeting last night and then added value in Photoshop.


It was an important meeting. Letting us know about layoffs of teachers and options they were considering. Pretty depressing, actually.
