Bandit Kings ~ Playing at the Plough and Stars Tonight

Posted on by Joanne

The Bandit Kings are making their way over the bridge once again. Off to the Plough and Stars a quaint little pub in Cambridge http://www.ploughandstars.com/directions.html Going along with them will be The Boyfriends and The Inge Berge Band, all Gloucester musicians. This proves to be very good line up and anyone that has seen them all before will vouch for this. So, if you feel like venturing out and trying some place new, you will certainly be entertained. I suggest you go early because it is a small venue. 10:00pm ~ 6:00 dollar cover

Joey C Fun Fact of the Day

Posted on by DIY SKI GUY

Here is a little fun fact about Joey C. We all know that he is a such a private man and never shares his life on the internet. Here is just a glimpse of him behind closed doors. What would you think his favorite soft drink is?

Coke or Pepsi? TAB? I bet your first guess wouldn’t be Fresca.  When you sit down at his house it is all that is offered and he will go into how it is so refreshing, yet has zero calories. He will ask you again and again “Sure you don’t want a fresca?”   He also “suggests”  (AKA if he doesn’t get it he throws a fit)  that the places he visits for shoots stock plenty of it on his arrival. Just a fun fact from the fact finders at GMG.

What are your thoughts on the newly released Macbook Air?

Looks pretty sweet.

I’m wondering if it has enough power to edit videos and photos with ease.

The one I’d want is the 13 inch with a 4gb RAM upgrade. In that configuration it comes in at $1399- a little too steep unless I sell a whole lot of photos.

Go Rangers!

The Texas rangers lead the series 3-1 over the stinky rotten Yankees.  One loss sends the hated Yankees packing for the season.

Let’s Go Rangers Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

Let’s Go Rangers Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

Let’s Go Rangers Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

Let’s Go Rangers Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

SHADOW BOOK

Originally uploaded by debclarke art

 

I deconstructed the entire sketchbook. i have been hindered by the construction of the sketchbook provided by the sketchbook project. it reminds me too much of school exercise book or a journal. it kept calling for words, and i kept trying to make it into something. anyway, this is the condition on october 9. today, i re-packaged the book.

trying to reconstruct the sketchbook. the book is getting lumpy. people with egg allergies can not handle this book…i’m using egg glair. the book had to stand during the drying process, then the sun turned the page into something else.

perhaps this is a Book of Shadow. the idea resonates with my inner life. i just don’t like the way this looks.

it’s a sketchbook. it should not be precious. it should be of use.

onward.

AHOY there! Here’s the weekly quickie on the Sketchbook Project.

The following images have yet to be added to the sketchbook…..and what is currently new & already adhered is drying….hooray for glue. So there are some images missing. I’ll get to them soon….

Recently, my sketches have ranged from the classic portraits…..

…..the to the classically influenced oddity……

…..to the straight up weird.

I don’t really know why I always draw things growing out of my character’s heads (???). I suppose I want to add a visual twist on what would otherwise be just another portrait.

The lower right, the pink lady surrounded by blue, is based on an image I saw on ffffound.com, which is an AMAZING site for visual inspiration, FYI. Originally, she was suppose to be depicted as a woman underwater, but with the way the dress is shaped, she looks like she is part of giant heart. This realization was actually pointed out by Josh. Naturally, I’m delighted by this….however, now I’m afraid that all I draw will start being a combination platter of portraiture and anatomical parts. Frankin-pictures. Perfect for Halloween I suppose? Sweet.

SOMETHING SKETCHY

You Gotta Really Like Fishing

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Maybe it’s because for most of the year we work outside on a cold damp smelly dock but for the life of me I can’t understand why anyone goes out of their way to sit in the cold all bundled up to catch tinker mackerel.  There’s about one bazillion things I’d rather do. Much like golf for which I don’t understand the appeal either.  Why someone wants to chase a ball around a golf course when they could be at the beach is beyond me.

WhereZat? Clues! With a T Shirt Prize

Posted on by Sharon

Nothing like fall in New England, so here’s some colorful foliage on a building somewhere on Cape Ann. Can you figure out the location? Good luck and thanks for playing!    —Sharon

Bob Ryan from Ryan and Wood has provided an XL Ryan and Wood Distillers T Shirt as a prize.

Update on Tuesday morning:

Hmmm….nobody has guessed at all yet. Ok, here are some clues-

-The date 1940 has significance as an end of sorts.

-It’s a converted building from its original use

-It’s not downtown, but close.

-It’s not a private home or office building
