Enjoy the first installment of “A Scripture Picture”, a few fun takes on familiar and not so familiar scripture. Not too “versed” in the Bible? That’s okay. Nor am I. Just don’t take it too seriously, and you’ll have a good time.
It is so rare lately that I take the time to draw, to draw with no specific agenda in particular. I guess before much of my illustration became primarily digital, I would have just called it sketching. I still sketch, on paper, for sure. In fact, that has never gone away. I forget, however, that I can still sketch digitally. And that’s where this picture of my friend Paul (Frosty) comes in.
One late night, everyone is asleep. I think I’ll just doodle.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and has a great winter!

I always love finding a good collection of political posters to peruse, on the internet or in print.
This collection at the Nonist (a frequent stop of mine) from the book The Poster Art of Tom Ungerer is a great sample of work. A flip through just was is represented here will probably turn up something you’re already familiar with, at least vaguely, if the iconic style itself doesn’t ring a bell. I see vestiges of the style in some modern art cartoons (cartoons nobody sees) and 15 minutes flipping through the history of Threadless will reveal the lasting impression, as well. Some of it also reminds me of the illustrations of Kenneth Patchen. I’d love to see the whole book someday. For now, my thanks to the Nonist (RIP), for the peaks and the link to Tomi Ungerer’s webpage.
