    Painted Flight Jackets - Planes, Names, and Dames

    You did the tweaking, right? FANTASTIC! It was just short of hideous before, but now she looks human, correct, pretty AND has personality. The face looks alive with wit and mischief. That's not an easy thing to capture even when all the parts are in the right place. You've got the knack!

    Hand-painted lunchbox art

    That is cool. I think you're really developing a feel for that style of art. They look like authentic production boxes from the '60s/'70s to me. The little vignetted portraits on the sides and all.

    Celluloid Decay on a Dresser Set-

    Gee, 'lady, that's a shame. Sorry to learn of your loss, but it sure is good of you to inform others.

    Sketch of my grandfather made in 1945.

    She got the likeness, for sure. As an (caricature) artist, I often have people tell me they still have the drawing I did of them or their children from two, three, five years ago. I am always flattered to know that they are cherishing something I drew. Mimi would be very thrilled and proud to...

    New shoes = agony!?

    I don't get why someone would want to have so many pairs of shoes. I mean, you only have two feet, right? :D

    Cordovan shells...Are they worth the difference in price?

    I am certainly an Allen Edmonds fan (up to twelve pairs of them now) but I'm a bit suspicious of their newest product. I only have older ones, and my cobbler tells me they have declined in their workmanship and materials. I do not have first hand experience with this and I encourage you to get...

    New shoes = agony!?

    Ouch. Hate to hear that's happening to your feet. I also vote for taking them back, regardless of wear and explaining the situation. If you continue to be sensitive in that place, you might change the geometry of the shoe fit by inserting cushioned insoles. That'd bring your foot up just...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Great greenie, Neo'!! Alan, those are wonderful old hats. I think the more western one needs a little downward swoop to the brim in front and a slight rise on the sides. I'm sure that old felt will respond willingly to a little steam and some coaxing, if you agree. Mayser', you really rock a...

    Hats or Shades

    Definitely both. Florida is at least as bright as So-Cal, I can assure you. And I sneeze violently if sunlight gets to my unprotected peepers.

    Painted Flight Jackets - Planes, Names, and Dames

    By the way, here's a close-up: My 'mission' this time was to copy the Elvgrin style as closely as possible, given the challenges presented by leather grain and thick acrylic paint. I'm pleased with it -- but someday I want to do one that is more simple, even rough, more like a lot of the...
