The Artistic Biker Doesn’t Need No Stinking Brushes

art journal painting nobrushes

The Wandering Widget challenged me last week to do a page without using any brushes. I could have done just markers or crayons or collage or something. But I wanted to do something in the spirit of the challenge. So, I did this page with a butter knife.

This week’s easel features the artwork of Wondering Widget, The Mighty Jay (http://moon-light-creations.webs.com), Artist Poet Girl: Jamie Lynn (http://mypurpledoorstudios.blogspot.com), and Michelle Greene Hotchkiss (https://www.facebook.com/MichelleHotchkissArt)

The Artistic Biker is a blunt force journey through the art world and art journaling. If Bob Ross, Red Green and Justin Wilson had a love child, it would be The Artistic Biker!
Each week I produce The Artistic Biker Live! on Ustream, then upload the edited videos here. Saturday, you get a 3-5 minute short with me singing. On Monday, you get an hour (ish) long version with all the discussion from the show. And finally, on Wednesday you get the What’s On Your Easel? segment as a stand-alone video. So what are you waiting for? SUBSCRIBE ALREADY! http://goo.gl/NyELT

The Artistic Biker Does Footprints

art journal footprints acrylic painting

You know that poem about the footprints in the sand. There were two sets where God was walking beside you, and only one set of footprints during the hardest times in your life because that’s where He carried you? The skid marks are where He had to drag you along! :)

The Artistic Biker Slays Personal Demons

art journal slaying personal demons

I have been struggling with personal demons for a very long time. Finally had I the dream where the thing I had been struggling with manifested as a demon. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I pull out a bright shiny sword and slash through it. Colors burst forth and the being dissolved and now I can’t even remember what I was struggling with. Funniest thing is, no one I have spoken with about my struggle remembers what I was struggling with either. When I slay a demon, by gods I slay every iteration of said demon.

Art Journal Butter Thieving Dog

art journal painting butter thieving dog

It’s been a while since the studio was attacked by this many gremlins!  I thought that by recording remotely on U-stream *AND* recording locally to my hard drive, I had eliminated the loss of video to gremlins.  However, it seems that I was not prepared for the blown breaker.  The computer never lost power, so I’m confused why the recording stopped locally.  By the time this is all over, I’ll end up having someone cranking an 8mm camera to ensure I don’t lose it.  Sadly, that means we lost the video of Molly O’Connor and Emily KZany visiting the show.  I am working on piecing together a slide show for Emily’s delightful poetry (if you’re into dark and dead), the What’s onYour Easel? segment, as well as the Midnight at Oasis episode we recorded after the show.  Keep your fingers crossed and keep watching this space.
