What can be 100 miles wide and 5,000 feet tall? A wall of dust in a typical Arizona "Haboob" storm, that's what.
Daily Whip Out: "Ha Ha's Epic Haboob" (That would Grandpa Ha Ha's Haboob)
A Clarification
No, Bell Rock in Sedona is not named for me. And, contrary to popular opinion, Bell's Palsy isn't either.
Daily Whip Out Revisited: "The Baja Hinny" Here's a sneak peek behind the editorial curtain:
I asked Mark Lee Gardner to give us a museum to visit, a book to read and music to play on the road trip to getting to the Centralia Battlefield in Missouri. This is for our new department, "Walk Where They Walked." Here are his replies and they are just the coolest:
"There's no museum that would help your readers understand the fight. However, there is a place about 65 miles away where readers can get an understanding of the life and culture of central Missouri on the eve of the Civil War: Arrow Rock State Historic Site. One of my favorite places, by the way.
Movie to watch before visiting: Ride With The Devil (1999)
Book: Bloody Bill Anderson: The Short, Savage Life of a Civil War Guerrilla by Albert Castel & Thomas Goodrich (1998)
Soundtrack to play: Johnny Whistletrigger: Civil War Songs from the Western Border by Cathy Barton, Dave Para, and Bob Dyer. Available on CD for $12 at this website: Johnny Whistletrigger | Barton Para
Best of The Bad, Part IV
Recapping my quest to do 10,000 bad drawings, this is a page done on May 1, 2006 which includes studies for Changing Woman, Barrel Cactus Bras, Outlaw Sneering and Night Man Shenanigans. Yes, I like to jump around because as a friend once said, I have "the attention span of a gnat."
Daily Whip Outs: "May 1, 2006"
Somehow, by a happy accident, I think I captured the visage of The Night Man and somehow, I think one of his encounters on the nightshift will be a midnight visitor in a barrel cactus bra.
Daily Whip Out: "The Midnight Visitor" This is how serendipity and creativity happens in my world.
"Bell's Palsy is actually named for Sir Charles Bell."
