The Fool

This is The Fool, taken from the tarot card. It's an older picture I drew, but it looked right for the site, and so I have endeavor to put it in the header.

(In the pursuit of honesty, I must mention that the clouds are a recent addition, thanks to Jasc)

Also, the title "The Idiot" might be more appropriate. The goof ball had to climb up one severe looking incline to get there. And in his best suit, no less...


Note the animal sitting next to him. That's supposed to be a dog, and not a panting rat, or some strange animal. Whatever he is, he is a divine mistake; he tickles me just by looking at him. Obviously, those with taste may not agree...


When I started on my Big Artistic Push some four years ago, I believed that the hardest things to draw were the eyes. I drew full pages of eyes. I am now an Eye Master.

Hands, however, I simply don't have a handle on. As you can see. Bear in mind that, while this is an old picture, I'm still looking at those hands and thinking, "Damn, they look good!"

Which, I think, says something...

(We are most definitely not going to talk about how deformed the man's head looks. Guy's got enough problems as is, don't cha think?)

Just thought I'd point out that you can do better clouds very esily with the smudge tool included in The Gimp - I have a lil' link to the official Gimp site on my blog, and I Gimp for all my personal picture editing needs...

Wow. I sound like a total Gimp Pimp, don't I? Well, so what if I do? You out to hear me talking about w.bloggar or Firefox!!!

A Gimp Pimp, huh? Lord, the offensive things I could say.

By the by, thanks for the ego boost in regards to my spelling. (esily=easily, out = ought) I needed that.

And when do you muck about with the picture side of the art. Details, man! We need more details!

wait, no - out ≠ ought. I said "point OUT" which is admittedly something of a cliché, but it's also exactly what I ment to say...

The esily thing is bang-on right, though.

Hey - send me a real e-mail, would ya'? I don't have your real e-mail address, and I'd like to send you that one link we were talking about. 'Cause, you know, I said I would. And stuff.
