UP EARLY----WEEKLY STANDARD job in progress

THANX TO GOD IN HEAVEN

 who lets me watch RANGO, and despicable ME,

 and let's me draw Presidents and bears and bunnies, and

 grim reapers, and watch UP.          sigh   : )

the FIRST ILLO I EVER HAD IN TIME MAG

i kept visiting, calling, and mailing Ken Smith--AD at TIME---who worked on the NOTEBOOK section there at the mag...one day i sent him a fax (probably a fax) and asked, or begged, "if you ever do a story on mark mcgwire---as a cardinal fan, i would LOVE to work on it!"

he called that afternoon.

he called about every 6 or 8 weeks for several years....really fun stuff. then he retired, new AD, who eschews illustration. end of era.

watercolor, colored pencil, airbrush. Fedex.

Leeland Yee and Shrimpboy runnin' guns

and some old stuff prior to Cintiq and photoshop in studio

and A Rod---when he got traded to Texas---pre Yankees--TIME mag

Time magazine John Rocker----this was my favorite illo i had ever done at the time

good message from Andy Stanley this week- - - - - - about Religion and Rules

"you are more important to me---than ---my view"

Jesus acted this way always

Jesus didn't die for a set of rules--He died for rule breakers-------

God's view of you---was defined by His Son's view of you from a bloody roman cross

what is most important to God----you....not  rules/religion

( we don't have kids so we will have someone to pick up the toys)

"i am GOD---stop bringing me meaningless  offerings, your incense is detestable to me!!" -- "do you think i am STUPID?"  

'I didn't create you so someone could kill all these animals!"

 -from Isaiah

when in doubt---help a brother out

''Jesus never allowed theology--to get in the way---of---ministry"

''LOVE GOD----&  LOVE YER NEIGHBOR"--Jesus

gooood stuff
