Long Shadow Into Night—Daily Whip Outs From Way WAYYYYY Back!

 November 20, 2024

   Last night I went out to the front yard just before sunset to check on the boy and caught this very long shadow of myself stretching clear across the driveway.

Long Shadow Into Night

   As usual, Uno was not all that impressed.

   We are still processing the passing of our good friend Ollie Reed. Here is the feature he wrote on the reopening of the Ellis Store last summer.

Investing In History by Ollie Reed

   Such a good man, and a fine writer to boot. We had over a hundred and fifty guests come through the doors at the Ellis Art Show & Open House and when I asked them how they heard about the event almost all said, "I read Ollie's article in the Albuquerque Journal."

   The legacy of our Old Vaquero Sayings book rests in the hands of our tech crew now.

In A Land Far, Far Away

   In an alternate universe a certain captivo should have been catapulted into the mainstream culture, and it would come as no surprise that a decorated war hero would be chosen to play the boy who started the longest war in United States history.

Best of The Bad, Part III

   I'm going thru all my sketchbooks looking for the best of the bad. Here's a page from ten years ago when I was adamant about doing six bad drawings a day.

Daily Whip Outs: "April 20, 2014"

   Coming tomorrow, a sketchbook page from 1994. No, seriously, I have been doing six bad drawings a day for thirty plus years and it is a miracle that I can still pull one out of the trash even at this late date.
