These doodles made it to the present from the past somehow. Now I’m shipping them to the future here on the ol’ Rhinocerous. Enjoy!

This is first of a few drawings I made that try to evoke the obvious early political cartoons of the Thomas Nast era in which everything is labeled and people often wear banners and sashes the simply state what they are supposed to represent. I thought it was sort of amusing to make such aContinue reading “Obvious Political Cartoon #1”

Tom and I have a super cool Bros Book Club. I was a delinquent member for a while, but now I’m back on the horse. Laura is a respected honorary member. Everyone is invited to join. Here are my drawings, from the short stories “The Fiddler” (Left) and “Jimmy Rose” (Right)

Happy Birthday Diana! I drew the central image on your birthday but, due to internet restrictions, I was unable to upload it until last night. Then, last night, I slacked off and uploaded it today instead. For that failure, there can be no excuse. Still, as an attempt to mitigate the damage, I surrounded theContinue reading “Happy Birthday Diana!”

This morning, Diana reported the following nocturnal conversation, conducted while I was in a dream state. I had no recollection of this, save a very hazy sense that I had been very uncomfortably required to turn some of my focused attention towards an interlocutor somewhere in the surface world. B: They can’t all be different.Continue reading “Subconscious Transmission”

I ran out of time to buy a pumpkin so I bought a big apple. Happy Halloween!

Peter’s left cheek to his left foot. Herman drew the face last, and when he saw what heContinue reading “Deacon Peter by Herman”

“At last, emerging from a thicket of elders, straight before me I saw the most resplendent creature that ever blessed the sight of man. A cock, more like a golden eagle than a cock. A cock, more like a field marshal than a cock. A cock, more like Lord Nelson with all his glittering arms on, standingContinue reading “Melville Book Club #3: Cock-a-doodle-doo”

This is my drawing from the Belltower by Herman Melville: […] and thereupon his foreboding eye had started at the expression of the unchanging face of the Hour Una.“How is this, Bannadonna,” he lowly asked, “Una looks unlike her sisters.”

So this picture is my picture for “The Belltower”.It’s kinda weird, it might even be dumb, my excuse is I was practicing drawing with a tablet and photoshop. “Erelong he had a heavy object hoisted to the belfry, wrapped in a dark sack or cloak — a procedure sometimes had in the case of anContinue reading “Melville Book Club #2 "The Belltower"”

Sup all Barry posted his drawing impression of The Encantadas a long time ago and even though I did the drawing, I didn’t post it. But now I am because our second meeting is coming up so I figured I’d better at least post them in order. Here’s mine, like Barry’s it’s about turtles butContinue reading “Melville Book Club Drawing: "The Encantadas"”
