Welcome to the Artistic Biker's Webspace!

The Artistic Biker is me, Jonathan "Blade" Manning.
A treasure troll of a man, with hobbit feet and a sharp pointy head. You may see me traveling up and down the highways of Oklahoma looking for the next place to sketch, paint, sing, dance, write, photograph or simply meditate. I have begun a journey that once set upon, there is no turning back. You can share in my blunt force journey through the art world on my weekly U-stream broadcast
The Artistic Biker Live!

Thursdays from 6-8p central

Also, check me out on Teh YouTube!
You can "LIKE" me on Facebook!
And on Twitter, I'm @BladeTheArtist




Art Journal New Year 2011

January 3rd, 2011

2011 01 01 18.22.18 300x225 Art Journal New Year 2011It worked out that the last page in my journal coincided with the last episode of The Artistic Biker Live! of 2010. So this page is dedicated to the end of one year and the beginning of another.

I enjoy mixing colors on my canvas instead of on my pallet.  I also enjoy using only primary and secondary colors to get the tints I want.  I’m reading a book about color by Nita Leland that talks about that very thing, but more about her in a few weeks after we settle down for a chat.

On the last page of these journals, I like to acknowledge the wonderful people who were present when I finished it.  This time, the list fits on one column of one page.  This time next year, I hope I have to add a couple of flaps to fit ‘em all in.
