  A game of basketball is faked to conceal the noise of the gallows being erected for the major Nazis sentenced to death.  Early in the morning, only an hour or so before his hanging, Hermann Goering removes a glass container from a cut-down rifle cartridge, places it in his teeth and bites down.  This in full view of the guard.  No one has any idea where he got the poison from.  Several people have confessed to giving it to him but they have all been proven liars.  An American officer (Lt. Jack Wheelis) has been accused of procuring the poison for Goering with slightly more probability but this is not proven and the case is weak.  ("The Mystery of Herman Goering's Suicide", Ben Swearingen).      Goering, a person of proven bravery and very great leadership ability, was a moral coward who was the one person who could have removed Hitler and ended the war.  He also signed the final solution order given to Reinhardt ...

The Inchcape Rock

  (By east the Isle of May twelve miles from all land in the German seas, lyes a great hidden rock, called Inchcape, very dangerous for navigators, because it is overflowed everie tide. It is reported in old times, upon the saide rock there was a bell, fixed upon a tree or timber, which rang continually, being moved by the sea, giving notice to the saylers of the danger. This bell or clocke was put there and maintained by the Abbott of Aberbrothok, and being taken down by a sea pirate, a yeare thereafter he perished upon the same rocke, with ship and goodes, in the righteous judgement of God)  – STODDART’S Remarks on Scotland.   No stir in the air, no stir in the sea, The Ship was still as she could be; Her sails from heaven received no motion, Her keel was steady in the ocean. Without either sign or sound of their shock, The waves flow’d over the Inchcape Rock; So little they rose, so little they fell, They did not move the Inchcape Bell. The worthy Abb...

Camping Canines

 I'm not sure if this counts as true anthro art,but this was art for a friend who wanted their dogs drawn in Disney style. I guess since they're camping by themselves and roasting marshmallows, it sort of counts! From sketch~ To finished painting~ To video with the outdoorsy song The Happy Wanderer~

Billy And The Young Atlas

Image
This was one of my best, to this day, and I over erased it.  Too bad.  This is one of the ones that I would occasionally draw in the midst of a whole lot of bad art, the story of my life.   This is me with a neighbor, a young giant who could press 600 lbs and I saw him do it.  He was a monster and very likable.  In this pic Billy is drawn just the way I see him. Again, about every 30 pictures I would do one that is really good.
