    Today’s art is a relatively simple chalice. It took three canvases in GIMP2 and one in InkScape to create the effect I wanted. The elliptical and rectangular portions are possible with some work in the former, but the latter was needed to create precision gemstones. The purple backdrop is intended to highlight the gold and…

    This is another on that started as a finger painting on my phone. I transferred it to GIMP2 and added more elements to the image to make the 9:16 phone art into 4″x4″ computer art. The colors are mostly just bucket fills and you can see the little white and black stokes along the edges…

    I spent twelve hours in Facebook Jail. I have voluntarily walked away from Twitter. I hardly ever use Discord for anything I can’t do by text. So here I am with markezuma and hopefully I can live in this little corner of the Internet comfortably for a while. You can find us here. The art…

    My wife Stephanie and I have two black cats. They are on my mind a lot but not often in my art. I can’t do our black cats the justice they deserve for their inherent beauty. Still once in a while I try. This is a simple one and I hope you can feel the…

    This one started a a black and white finger paint on my phone. It obviously needed more, so I moved it to my computer. I added some gradients, shading, a lot of color, and an artists mark. The phone art was taller and when I squared it the trees on the bottom were lost and…

    I’m exploring a new open source office program. It has a drawing feature and I think I’m making progress as far as my learning curve goes. Today it’s just a face. I think he has all his parts. Let me know if I’ve missed something or even if you just like the design the way…

    I did another abstract today and decided it needed a markezuma in the foreground. He is not very standardized though I do try to keep all of the elements in each iteration. He’s usually pretty curvy so the straight lines are a definite change. It took three graphics programs to have a finished product. I…

    This is an abstract made by converting through two open source graphics programs. It wasn’t very much work but I think it turned out pretty well. Purple is Stephanie’s favorite color. The blue is for our oldest son. It started out as a png but sadly got converted to jpeg by a process I have…
