Best of the Bono Mouse sketchbook: week ending May 29, 2023
My favorite of this week’s Bono Mouse sketches: Technically cheating as there’s 2 from this week, the one on the left being the last of the “blank spreads” drawings from last Monday night done with markers, and the right being done a couple days later with a Pilot pen....
Best of the Bono Mouse sketchbook: week ending May 22, 2023
My favorite of this week’s Bono Mouse sketches: Done with a purple Pilot pen. I’m down to only 2 blank spreads in the book, so it’s almost time to start going through the spreads that only have a drawing on the one page to fill in all the blank...
Best of the Bono Mouse sketchbook: week ending May 15, 2023
As mentioned in the last Saturday blog, I’m posting these as separate weekly blog posts now. And yes, I’m cheating, because this is from a week ago Sunday, but oh well. Done with markers, and the reference is from last fall during his book tour. (Fuller explanation of what...
High heat, slow decluttering, and a few blooms as always
It’s officially iguana weather: So that kinda sucks, lol… I was upstairs doing a bit of sorting in the clutter/disaster zone of a spare room to get it into order and after a couple hours noticed that it felt crazy hot in there versus when I started. I have...
Old ’90s Sketchbook/Scrapbook of Trent Reznor
OMG… I found my old high school/art school (for the one term I went)/university sketchbook full of drawings of Trent Reznor, 😂… That’s just a few pics from inside. It’s a 200 page sketchbook and it’s chock full of this sorta thing, even the inside covers, lol. Apparently I...
Clarinets, prints/other artmaking, and the coronation
I guess the biggest news of the week is of course the coronation. I was asleep at the time, of course, but just watched the replay from the Royal Family’s channel: I’m not a big monarchist, though all things considered if you have a decent king, it can be...
Spring clean-ups, bees, and blooms
Well, I spent all day out in the garden yesterday and got a sunburn… I really should know better by now… really, I should… Guess I’m cancelling this week’s IPL face-zapping. And while I’m whining, I think I have a cracked filling. Guess I know what phone calls I...
Whole lotta art stuff going on this week
Another week down. I was at a monotype workshop today, pics on that other post. Speaking of Ricky B., it was time to set up his very own Instagram, even if there’s not real followers yet: https://www.instagram.com/ricky_b_rat/ So, on that note, here’s the favorite Ricky sketch of the week:...
Nick news, ratmobiles, fountains, and more
Hey, my neighbor’s finally back from wintering in Arizona. My dad and I were starting to worry. What else is new? The latest Nick White episode, for one thing. The subtitles aren’t properly done yet because I keep getting some weird “taking longer than usual” error message when I...
Cards, sketches, and new Nick White (for real this time… soon…)
Another week gone by… let’s see here, I started back to clarinet lessons and apparently I haven’t completely forgot everything, just 75%… but hey, maybe that means I’ve forgotten some of my bad habits too. One can dream, right? Well, last week I mentioned my scheme to make handmade...
