Marty's Book - Stars and Stripes

Acrylic paint
I have a bunch of good references from USA culture, I love the music (blues and jazz - I play harmonica as hobby :-)

I love the art of Hopper, Pollock and Rockwell Illustrations... I love the sports (I was a Skateboarder)... I love the people and my north american friends...

But what talk about "war Industries" or arguments like "they have weapon of mass destruction" (read oil)...

I grew up in brazilian military dictatorship at 60's (the "lead years ") supported by Jonhson's administration with military and Inteligence personnel operating in Brasil. The same happens in Argentina, Chile, Paraguai...

Well I hope Barak be a different president with a different International politics. I can't express my Ideas and feelings in English so well :-P I hope my art can do that

Marty, thanks for the opportunity to work in your fantastic book.

I hope You understand me.

I use 3 Blues (Prussian, Ultramarine and Cerulean) and 3 Reds (Karmine, oxide or English Red and Naphtol medium) without mixing blues and reds.

Look what I got today.

Wow! What a beautiful start to this book. If we're continuing with the wolves and canines theme, this ought to be fun. Love this Lon Chaney Jr. Wolfman. I have my work cut out for me following Joyce and Lynne in this group.

Where's my book now?

Jose`s moly arrive!

I received Jose`s moly two days ago while I was drawing in the afternoon :)
Thank you Lynne!! I always love how you decorate the parcel!
(sorry for the late post... I`ve been pretty sick recently...)

Have a creative weekend everyone!

Hi

Dear friends, Sorry for my so long absence. I had a long period of professional and personal problems and I couldn't get online for my personal (and favorite :-)) subjects, but now I'm back to the Moly-x.
I received the fantastic Marty's book. I'll star work in my and Marty book in this week.
I Love Marty's subject and art.
I love all off your art here.
Sorry again and thanks a lot for your patience.

my city ( village :-) )

Done, I was trying for a layered look, not sure it did what I wanted, but.......
its on its way to you joyce :-)

Your city

Sorry for the delay I have my entry ready finally, I thought of going with the my country theme but changed my mind and I planned to do zombies, but then I got several other projects that included zombies so finally I went for this: Your city
As it says everybody is invited to paint, do a collage (I did some here, mostly the girls and some buildings) about his city, actually you are invited to do anything you want aslong it is related to your city, or actually any city you like
I painted the first page aswell, so it matches the rest before you pass it
in my case the city is where I live now, Pineda de Mar, a city which is only alive the months of the summer, is just a small coastal town that lives off turism, with the beach and few things more, but the rent was cheap here and its close to work so thats why I live here

hope you like, btw I dont have the adress of lyanne, ill send a mail trought flickr see if I can get this sent tomorrow
im gonna work abit more on the backgrounds by now but this is pretty much the final look of it ;)
