The Artistic Biker Does Rain
Whether its the lack of rain or the fact that so many beautiful, sexy clouds have been hanging around for so long, I have lately had a fascination with clouds. I made a spirally cloud stencil for a background then used Tim Gagnon’s simple cloud technique to paint a few clouds in the foreground. There’s an ancient belief that if you concentrate on something while you are creating paterns, the energy will be released to create what you were concentrating on. This was my prayer for rain.
The Artistic Biker! is being read in 12 countries! That’s AWESOME! I know many of you people have friends in other countries, so go ahead and forward this to them!  They’ll LOVE you for it.  I will, anyway.

Link Lovelies
At some point on The Artist Biker Live!, usually the last ten minutes, we open the links up in the chat for everyone to share and promote their works.  All you need to get in this list is be at the show for more than half of it and post your link when announced, or be in attendance five of the previous eight shows.
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
