Every Meme will bow!

Greetings Earthlings, Hope all is well.
 I've been wondering about the significance of a blog now that Facebook is so easy and the response is better. Thinking about things like...should I blog anymore? Is anyone paying attention? Is everybody on FB? Your thoughts could be helpful.

 Today's post is the cover of this weeks the Weekly Standard.
The cover story is about internet stars /celebrities who make a living because their videos go viral. They are not really recognized for any talent but rather they just so happened to be in a specific moment and someone posts it in on Youtube.
They even have conventions about this stuff. ROFL con is one convention each year. The celebs I painted are called Memes.
 So the idea was to draw them all mugging for the camera. I had about two days and it was tight.

 Composing a cover is terribly difficult at times with the logo and the mailing label and heading. Throw in the mix five guys and you have problems to solve.

 GOtta run. God is good and it's good to be held by the King and married to the queen Krissy.

 Stunned by the Goodness of Jesus.~T

Salute to the Queen.

Greetings Earthlings, GOD IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

 Grateful to be held by the King.

 Quick post today. The images are from this weeks cover for The Weekly Standard.

 The call came in Thursday afternoon at the last minute and there was ALOT of drawing to do.
 I'm only showing the part of the cover I like.
Enclosed is a screen grab of one of the the references I used for Hillary, so you can see it's not always extreme pushing involved. In fact most clients shy away from extreme caricature. Der Spiegel for example told me not to go too far. I actually got a kill fee for a cover they never ran because it was too exaggerated. Go figure! So if you want to work for most magazines think about that.
 Gotta run.

 He Lives!~T

FAce to FAce is gonna happen!

GREEEEEEEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS!!! GOD IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
 Hope all is well. Been extremely busy lately. (thankfully).
Also, been working on a children's book proposal for the last couple of years and  hope its getting close to seeing the light of day. Sometimes you have to do a bunch of days doing other stuff until you can work your way into doing what you really want to do. I'll keep you posted.

 The enclosed images are for last weeks The Weekly Standard. I've also enclosed the reference I drew the face of Obama from to show you its not always extreme exaggeration to do caricature.
 Sometimes getting real close to realism and then putting a little body on the head is all it takes. Sometimes its push and pulls of certain features that makes it funny and more real.

 Gotta run.

Thankful I'm found by the King and all the pushes and pulls of my heart are pulling me closer to Him to whom we all have to do.
 Stunned I will see him face to face.~T

"Hills that is.. swimmin pools... movie stars!"

GREEEEEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS GOD IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazed that the God of all is not on vacation and He has not left the building. Rather, He has come down in the person of his Son to die for rebellious sinners and bring them to Himself by a glorious yet brutal Cross, die and then rise again. He lives and can be known and found.

Today, a quick post on my favorite politician to draw Billy Boy. I like Bill Clinton, he's charming and I would love to know him. Oh well it prolly won't happen in this lifetime.

Enclosed are various images from the Billy era when I was commisioned to draw him. The Weekly Standard cover was when life actually imitated art. They wanted the cover depicting him on the day he was to leave the White House. I thought it would be funny if he actually stole a few items as he loads up the truck from Beverly ( To borrow from the Beverly Hillbillies). Sure enough there were reports some things actually came up missing. Oh well.

Also, the Clinton Memorial image is the cover of the Weekly Standard from a few weeks ago.

Gott run.,,,,,"Now the first thing you know ole Jed's a millionaire.......

Stunned I'm richer than a millionaire because of Jesus.

Oh the GLORY that is to be revealed!.~T

Life is like a box of Chocolates!

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS God is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

Amazing that the God who made the universe calls sinners to Himself, to blow them away with the gift of Himself. All at the cost of his Sons blood.

Today, a quick post on my only Tom Hanks image. I love Tom Hanks, He's one of my favorite actors. He gets it! Every time he acts I love watching him.

These paintings were for Pages magazine way back in 2005.

Gotta run, Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

Stunned I'm never gonna get the judgement of God for my sin. ~T

Oh HOWARD!

GREEEEEEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS GOD IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing the Grace in which sinners find themselves. A Grace so great that it befriends mockers and glory stealers and allows them to see GLORY in the face of Jesus Christ.

Today I'm posting the many faces of Howard Dean. Prolly one my most favorite lefties to draw.

The various images are for TIME magazine and the Weekly Standard.

Gotta run, Very familiar with putting my own foot in my mouth and self implosion. Oh but by the GRACE of God go I.


Stunned that there is hope for my idiotness.~T

Don't Mess with Texas!

Greetings earthlings. God is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

I am so grateful that though I was so blind now I see. Incredible that someone as lost as I can be brought to Him who is unseen but clearly seen. He lives and because He lives, I live.

Today, I thought it would be cool to pick on George W.

Enclosed are numerous ways I’ve drawn him over the years. I think whenever we have the opportunity to draw a face we’ve drawn before, we need to try and see it in a different light or try something a little different.

All of these paintings were painted in acrylics before I painted in oils, and boy, would I love to paint them now in oils. But thankfully, there are other things to paint.

Gotta run…. God is good to the sinner who cries out for forgiveness.

Stunned, I cried out! ~T
