Billy is rasping down a flawless maple plank in order to make a rudis, the wooden sword signifying a retired gladiator, for a very good friend who is retired from the U. S. Army and the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department, SWAT team.  Here he takes time to play with the new cat, Felicette, a wild kitty he brought home with him from the bird hospital he worked at.  She is very shy but very sweet. It will have the name and rank etched onto the blade.

This foxy lady was inspired by a 1936 song~ from sketch~  To finished painting~ To video ~ And yes,it's the same song Robin sang to Marian in the movie Robin Hood-Men In Tights

I will always be a traditional artist. I love to use real pencils and paints and my own imagination. However,with the advances in A I art, it's hard not to experiment with it even though it can be cold and sterile at times. Here I tried a experiment with my own art using a A I music app to make a song for my fox character~the results were pretty accurate!  I also tried to run my own art through a A I app-at least I was only stealing from myself! Which is the original and which is A I?

 One's a cat,one's a mouse, but they're both showgirls! Miss Kitty (the cat) is from Don Bluth's Fievel Goes West. The other Miss Kitty (the mouse) is from Disney's The Great Mouse Detective. Could they be sharing showbiz gossip? From sketch~ To finished painting~ To video with music from The Great Mouse Detective~

I have had this posted for some time. Now a friend has done an animation of this, he insisted that I credit the program, Quickdraw. Watch this stunning short cartoon of my version of Gully Foyle hitting the distress signals on board the shattered spaceship Nomad- https://file.aiquickdraw.com/p/f813894f-2626-4602-b8e3-f38787c87330.mp4   I am just astonished and very grateful to https://www.deviantart.com/mate0-art for this delightful and very unexpected gift, he is the one who originally colored my pencil drawing of the cruelly abandoned sailor on board the war destroyed ship. The Stars My Destination, Alfred Bester. 1956. Here are some more animations done by the master artist MATEO-art- file.aiquickdraw.com/p/1d3ec8f... file.aiquickdraw.com/p/51d2711... file.aiquickdraw.com/p/8f67c90...
