My Subject of course is the cymie monster....

Play those BLUES
my friend....

A friend pasted-on back home and it took me really by surprise when my sis called me up on Sunday morning.... Bob was my roommate/friend for a year... Bob was a very gentle giant who had great joyful soul that spilled onto others.... I didn't know him as well as my sis and my brother law did but he had huge impact of my life...

One of these many great things I will always remember about Bob is the beautiful music he created... A true blues man.... An Honest Blues Man...

He lived in the bottom of the house flat (basement)while I lived in the second top of the house.... Bob was a great blues / singer guitar player and occasionally I would have the luck of listening to him play through the air vents on a cold Wisconsin night.... Its one of the many things I miss from Wisconsin and know now that I will never get the chance to hear the beautiful music again... It will definitely suck going back in the house and not seeing bob.... that sucks...plain and simple.... So i drew this drawing in memory of you Bob... Keep playing the blues even though you are in better place man!

PUPPY! ATTACK!

IT'S A PUPPY!

Giovanni's Deli, Pinole, California

This is my favorite deli right now if your in the area go to it! They have the best Stromboli! We have hit this little deli many times before our little adventures in the bay area for their awesome deli sandwiches and they never disappoint..... fantastico!

Sometimes you just have to stand still....

This last Friday, I had a great time talking to the fine folks over at Widgetbox here in San Francisco... They are great company with alot of hard workers who are truly making the web widgetized!! If your an illustrator, cartoonist, artist whatever they have this great tool called a BLIDGET. What's a Blidget you ask? Well consider this nifty tool as a great way to promote your blog and "art" through your very own widget blog.... I added mine and you should too! Well at least I think so because I am all about self promotion.... You can check out Widgetbox here....

Hope everyone is having a great summer....
