The Artistic Biker Does Dental Masochism!
This week I memorialized my recent trip to the dentis where my angel/sadist of a dentist treated me to a wonderful trip on nitrous! Through the course of the dental trip I went from philosophizing about the effects of happy gas to recognizing that there was a boob on my head.

Art Journal for Lefties

The Artistic Biker Does Something Sinister!
Saturday, August 13th, was National Lefthanded Day. @Ikerrilove and @Daleannepotter challenged @journalartista to do her entire show on Saturday using only her left hand. When I saw the tweet, I thought that sounded like a WONDERFUL challenge so I picked up and did it too. During the show, I did the entire page with my left hand, I exposed both my dad and my wife as being bidextral, and we talked about UK rioting kids needing a spanking.

Art Journal Farewell to The Space Shuttle

screencaplastlaunch Art Journal Farewell to The Space Shuttle

I did what has to be my fastest page ever as I did a journal entry dedicated to the final space shuttle launch. The 115F dry weather had the paint drying in seconds instead of minutes, even without the hairdryer! Then to kill some time I did a cartoon gremlin, a quick studio tour and played with the babies. There’s a spray paint moon and space background, a painted sun and earth, and a collaged shuttle Atlantis. We also had a brief visit from @TheAmpleGoddess. It’s always a joy when she brings her family to the studio for a visit.

Art Journaling for Hay Fever

mothernaturescreencap Art Journaling for Hay FeverThis week on The Artistic Biker Live! I took a cue from Leslie Herger (@lessherger) when she stated on Twitter that she wished Mother Nature would quit making the sweet love to her face.  I empathize with this sentiment as EVERYONE here seems to be suffering with seasonal allergies as well.  This comment had me laughing all week though so for the page this week, I did a tribute to Hay Fever.  I demoed a few tips on atmospheric perspective and splashed out some quick and easy flowers.  Then we talked about The Big Sucking T-shirt Machine!  I’ve had some new ideas to make that sucker work, but it’s still not ready.  Until then, @EvelineTimeless will just have to sit around shirtless.

Art Journal Cinco de Madre!

mothersdayustream Art Journal Cinco de Madre!

This week’s episode of The Artistic Biker Live! landed on Cinco de Mayo.  I thought in celebration of that, I would do a brightly colored villa adorned with tulips.  Why tulips? Because the following Sunday is Mother’s Day here in the U.S. and apparently, tulips are the traditional flower of Mother’s Day.  Anyway, once I painted the tulip in the journal, I really liked the way it worked with that background.  So, I set the journal page aside and did a mock-up painting to see if the tulip would lend itself to my larger expired calendar painting canvases.  I believe it will work out very well, and I’ll get some practice too.  The first one is already promised to my mother for Mother’s Day.  Click Here to Watch This Week’s Episode!
