This weekend I loaned the studio to the Chickasha Area Arts Council for their “1st Saturday” arts program. Free to kids 14 and under, this program introduces new arts and crafts to the kids on the first Saturday of every month. This month they made scarecrows and other glueables. The kiddos had a great time. Thanks to all who came out and especially thanks to the volunteers that make this program great.
This week’s Daddy/Daughter Breakfast was a mad dash through McDonald’s on our way to soccer. We we’re going to go sketching after the game, but she left instead for a sleep over. At least I got to drink her orange juice.
Sadly and happily it is time for The Halloweeny Season! That means that it is almost over, but not without a celebration of candy!! (and hopefully a little of the “nature” celebration wink wink) Anyway, here is the final tribute to The Halloweeny for 2012. Be sure to comment and share it, ’cause that helps grow the family.
Week three of The Halloweeny Season has a page ripping werewolf clawing through the background to get out into the full moon. Â I really should have had Boy2 and Girl2 sing along with me on this one as it’s one of their favorites! Â If the video get’s 20 likes and 20 comments I’ll post a second video showing where the claw marks came from.
  
My fascination with the mundane continues with a railroad crossing. Â I’m also still painting bugs. Â I really dig painting like this. Â It always amazes me how fast it happens once I decide to do it. Â I’m also always a bit put out when it’s over because I have nothing to work on. Â And then there’s the fear that the next one won’t be as good as the one I just finished. Â Does that ever happen to you?
Every week, I ask for submissions for The Artistic Biker Live! “What’s On Your Easel†feature.  In this case, your easel is wherever you create, whether its painting, drawing, practice, sculpting, any of the visual arts, or photographs of your culinary and performance arts.  The submissions will go here.  If you would like to submit something, send me a photo of it to blade@artisticbiker.com, or tweet it to me @bladetheartist.
Sometimes we time it just right that as soon as we just get into a sketch, the food shows up. Â I both love and loathe when that happens.
It’s week 2 of The Halloweeny Season! You know how much we love the Halloween here at The Artistic Biker!!11!!1!!! Â Anyway, this video was a tribute to the vampires of Twilight. Â Because vampires shouldn’t twinkle. Â And vampires suck.
