Uh, I really didn’t mean to spend more time on this.
But I did. Nets fans, think of this as a consolation prize.
Here’s a way, way too-dark quicktime movie of the object in action. I don’t know why it’s so dark. Maybe the horse I brought in to work on the soundtrack was blocking the light or something.
Update: I figured out how to lighten the movie and adjusted the soundtrack.

Heeere it is! In commemoration of the historic NBA finals of 2002 – your Ken Goldstein of the week! I closely considered having the bobblehead hold his head in shame and fear, reflecting his emotions concerning the performance of his beloved Nets thus far, but in the end declined to do so as a) my subject is of a fairly cheery disposition and b) no bobblehead distributed by a major-league team would express such emotion except by accident. This is also my original art for the week. Update: I acutally built a real KG Bobblehead, and then made a silly little web movie to prove it. God help me. |
Here, the charming mug of Jersey’s favorite Rutgers grad beams in happy welcome to yours truly in the parking area of JFK. This is the shot on which the cartoon Ken was based.
Originally executed circa 1991 in sumi brush and ink. Any resemblance to a celebrity is purely coincidental, I assure you.

This week’s KG features the little guy demonstrating his theory of ancient egyptian hieroglyphic bloggage at the Met. A virtual Otter Pop to the site visitor who first correctly identifies the photoshop spoofing herein employed! I was gonna do a KG bobblehead, but I couldn’t find any decent pix on ebay. Someday, however…. |

Here is the completed painting, which I’m giving to my in-laws as an anniversary present. All of the materials in the painting have something to do with their life experiences.
You can see a WHOLE lot more of the process of producing this painting in my photo gallery for May 2002.
I believe the appropriate sub-albums are entitled “Still life”, or a similarly imaginative combination of words.
Whoops! Meant to have this up this morning – lost track of time.
This is the underpainting for the still life I posted a sketch for last Monday.
The charcoal sketch for a painting I’m working on at the moment.
Shocking news!
Recent discoveries indicate that in an alternate timeline, the company which produced the poster above makes money hand over fist over jowl!

UPDATE: I’ve realized that I misused the word “Zeppelin” in the poster. Since I depicted the Cargolifter dirigible and not the currently-flying Zeppelin NT I suppose I should change it to Seattle Pacific Dirigible Airways, or mayy-be Seattle Pacific Air Dirigibles. That would have the added benefit of gently teasing the Germans with the acronym SPAD, an obvious nod to some very excellent and fast areoplanes from the Great War which were 100% French! Whoo! Vive la Brie! J’aime bien les brioches! J’ecoute Serge Gainsbourg!
Ten years ago we watched LA burn. I ran from my first riot, a few dozen people who gathered outside the police station in my neighborhood and chucked a few bottles, shattering a window. Almost everybody splt when the kids with the bottles chucked ’em.
I also drew an Octogon that day. I think it’s kind of fatuous, but it’s just the sort of thing Farble would do. I think Bill wrote the strip, but, honestly I don’t remember. Click the frame to see the whole thing.
