work in progress, or just preliminary drawing for a better version...

a brainstorm

watercolour on Arches paper 12" x 15"

designed to illustrate the PTSD battle that never ends for some veterans. This guy is one of my friends, Ed, a Marine who fought in Vietnam before he could legally buy alcohol.

I had forgotten about this thing! I suppose I should post my artworks on here...

I found this image on TeVA in the William Strickland Sketchbook section... it is interesting how perfect the lines are when he used pen & ink. It's cool that you can select a small portion of any image and it will zoom in really close in another window.

LPLS database madness

I have been looking on the Smithsonian Global Sound database. I searched for hardanger (fiddle) music and there were 4 tracks! wow, so cool! Also I browsed through the folk songs from Norway region. I am half Norwegian so I figure I should hear some of the old songs from there heehee! I reckon I'd recommend this site to a patron when they're wanting to learn about their ancestry or customs of different places, esp. old customs.
Hail Odin!

It makes me happy that we can subscribe to scientific journals and the cutting edge research going on in the labs! My aunt has an article posted somewhere about her research on lung cells, but I haven't found it in blog form yet. Technorati seems to work well if you know what to look for.
