I stole it. Can't remember where, but I stole it.
BTW, sorry I didn't get around to your JOURNAL. I will do it soon.

Hey man, you don't need to apologize! I have never ONCE gotten angry at someone for plugging my stuff. And I can't think of a situation when I would.

Maybe...I'm partial to '47-53 Buicks but that '59 Caddy you drew is tops!

Why thank you very much. If I could drive any car I wanted, and not have to worry about gas prices and maintenance, it might be an old Caddy like that. Until then it an old Ford Focus hatchback with a dented door. That's my sweet ride...sweet as it's going to get anyway.

Hmmmm, not sure what a '49 Riv even looks like...I'm rather fond of the early to mid-60s Rivieras. I'm not quite ready for an electric car just yet.

This is great! It reminded me that, when I was a kid, the undertaker in my home town was a rail-thin old gentleman who always wore a black suit and never smiled. He had a raspy cough and his name was Mr. Stiff (Fred Stiff, actually). They were, in fact, quite a large family and many of them are buried in the old cemetery up on the hill, so it's not unusual to see weathered headstones that say "STIFF" on them. The town baker was also called Baker and I believe the barber was "Nick" something-or-other.
I am not making any of this up.

Wow! That sounds like something out of the old CRACKED magazine before it got killed by some guy. Was the town proctologist named Doc Butz? Gravestones with STIFF on them! That is hilarious! In my town, we have a dentist named Dr. Fang! Somewhere there is a gynecologist named Dr. Cunz

I can't remember who killed CRACKED...some son of a bitch.
Dick Proctor! I love it! People with names like that...are their parents THAT naive? I heard that vrecently in Indiana(a state in the USA)some politician tried to get a new government building named after another past famous politician, by the name of Harry Baals! Yes, pronounced like BALLS.

I read about that "Harry Baals" building. You know, this may be one of the reasons magazines like "CRACKED died; you can't make up stuff that's as funny as real life! For example, I remember there was some great writing in National Lampoon back in the '70s but the "True Facts" section was the only thing that ever had me absolutely rolling on the floor.
Speaking of building names, in Saskatoon, where I now live, there is actually a very sturdy stone building called "The Sturdy Stone Centre" but from what I've heard its name is in honour of a Mr. Sturdy and a Mr. Stone and has absolutely nothing to do with its construction!
These crazy name are like urban legends; I don't realize how many I know until I start talking about 'em!

The Harry Baals Arena would have done it but its almost better that it was voted down since all the headline said things like, "City Councillors Scratch Harry Baals".

I wonder what Harrys' middle name was...perhaps "Saltie"?

There was a Saturday morning cartoon back in the late 60s called the WACKY RACES. It involved about a dozen different 'wacky' race cars and drivers who would race each other every week. And every week a different car and driver would win. There was also an unscrupulous driver named Dick Dastardly who would always try to cheat to win, but he never did. Typical formulaic Hannah Barbera cartoon. Over in England, a group of car enthusiast have built almost every car from the WR, and they do parades and car events. These crazy cars had to be completely custom built! I don't know how much money was spent on them but they are quite well done.

I really love the organic shapes for this, instead of perfectly geometrical ones. I'm also really enjoying the inks on this a whole lot.

MJBivouac In reply to ChewbaccaStomper [2011-10-17 02:27:56 +0000 UTC]
Thanks very much. The organicness was my main motivation here. The "INKS" are but pencil linework. It's mostly digital paint.

I do it all the time. I prefer to 'ink' with a pencil. I have more control over it.

Interesting... I know that I'm definitely more confident in my ink lines than I am my pencils.

Ink is so permanent...I do INK, but I usually go with pencil.

ChewbaccaStomper In reply to MJBivouac [2011-10-17 16:26:27 +0000 UTC]
I think that's why I enjoy ink so much! It's permanent, so I just feel like I need to jump right into it. I feel like I do my best work when I'm forced to just GO! If I think about it too much, I feel like it looks crappy, and lifeless. I totally get that everyone has their own thing. There's no right and wrong way of doing something, as long as it looks good!
