Notes On The Graveyard Shift

 March 20, 2022

   Got an anniversary coming up in two days, and yes, it involves the classic, surf tune "Wipeout." How I got an extra 14 years on the planet (I know, counting my chickens before they hatch!) is beyond my skill set.

   And, speaking of limited skill sets, I am still holding out on finding a new and better trade route to producing better artwork. One of the ways I seek this out, is to go at it from another direction. For one thing, I'm always going on about the "Old Vaqueros" and, just for grins, I thought I'd feature a different age group. 

Daily Whip Out:

"Middle Age Vaquero"

Somehow, I have a hunch better artwork involves letting go. I have known this since my U of A Art College days, but I never have truly embraced it. It takes courage to do it, and, well, you know. . . Of course, I am enamored of dust, so, there's that.

Daily Whip Out:

"Mickey Free On The Hunt"

   And, if you must see, here I am in today's posting in my sketchbook talking to myself.

Daily Whip Out: "Go Upside Down"

Daily Whip Out: "Black Beauty"

"Big shoes are back again."

—Cornership, "Funky Days Are Back Again"

Night Crawlers

   Here's someone who will definitely turn up in a story about a graveyard shift service station attendant who meets all these weirdos who cross the desert at night.
