Dugal needs a good cutting and grooming but he still posed for this little sketch. He seems like he might be getting a little bit of a jealous streak in him in regards to things around the house. Jumping up in our laps more frequently and begging more for food. He’s even become quite the obiedient little dog as of late with most everything else. I think it’s his craving for attention that is motivating him. The rest of the time though, this is him. Sleeping curled up somewhere. Stealing my desk chair when I am not in it.

Letting Go
This is the season where lots of people have given up different things. Lent. The 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter has often been celebrated thus. It’s now also spring which means spring cleaning. I am by nature a collector. Not really anything in particular, but little odds and ends. It drives Becca nuts on occassion.
So letting go of things is hard.
For Becca, it’s letting go of shoes.
Maybe it’s not the shoes or the “little plastic peice that used to go to that one thing that doesn’t work anymore” that is the problem. Maybe it’s the addiction to ownership that is the problem. We don’t let go because it’s ours. Like Gollum in Lord of The Rings. “My Precious”.
Maybe our “stuff” isn’t quite so precious afterall. Maybe in getting rid of the clutter our creativity will flourish anew.
Late Night Sketch Project: Tired Twenty Something
When I can’t sleep, I tend to draw. I have decided I would start sharing these strange and weirdly amusing drawings. Please keep in mind, they might be portraits, abstracts… weird doodles of alien planets or comic ideas that would otherwise utterly fail.
Father – a pictorial definition.
I caught sight of myself in the mirror tonight when I came home to finally get some sleep. I looked like I might have been sleeping on the streets for the last few nights. Haggard, worn out and stressed, I decided to sit down and recuperate mentally before I recuperate physically by drawing a little. Above is a self-portrait of the mess I am at the moment. I think if I was one of the nurses walking into a room and seeing me there, I might have been a little freaked out.
Goodnight all. Signing off at 8:53 pm. Exactly 1 day and 1 minutes since Aidan arrived here.
“It’s a CPU Load Algorithim”
At least that’s what I’ve been told from my hosting company. Granted, I have several gigs of data on their servers, so I think I can deal for now. They seem to have it figured out in the meantime.
But I drew this little comic imagining what must be happening in the server room somewhere…
How to become a successful ebay artist.
I’ve tried to sell artwork via ebay before and never really had much success at it, but some people do. What do they do and how do they do it? That’s what this second edition of the Artist Hideout video podcast is about.
At present, I only have this available as an mp4 file so you will need either iTunes or a compatible player to open it. (because Google is encountering an error)
Your Art
I would like to invite you to participate in Artist Hideout through submitting your own artwork for inclusion on this site. One part of art in any form is experiencing it and sharing it so I want to make that available to you. I will often do projects myself or explore a particular media and original artwork that uses these methods or media will get first priority. This is no guarantee that I will use your particular art submission in any post.
You can submit your artwork by emailing it as an attachment in “.jpg” file format to william@b5media.com. In doing so, you give www.artisthideout.com and b5media express permission to publish your original work from the file you submit. If you include a website that you feature your artwork on, I will gladly link back to you as well. Spam posts will be deleted as well as any art that is deemed to be unoriginal in concept, vulgar, or the wrong filetype.
I want to make this an interactive and enjoyable experience, and would love to see your artwork and share it in this way.
Thank You,
~William Lehman
