Slobber Hoggy

.Who knows what was going on when I drew this...other than marker madness and a micron mashin'. Half Man Half Warhog...it kind of reminds me of those Kool Keith rantings about Half Man Half Shark. Dig the insects crawling around on him. I've just started a new job, in a new city, in a new time zone, after 4 months in a different hemisphere...so I think its worth pushing my hands out of old ways (especially nowadays, if not always).

East Africa

Here's a few sketches from an Easter trip to Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. One is of the view of our lodge's "backyard" where the meanest animals in Africa, Buffalo roam free. Maasai warriors would walk us back and forth from our rooms to the eat spot with long spears for protection. We came to learn that the spears really wouldn't do anything to such tuff animals, but at least it made us feel safe...at first.
And then there's some masks and wood sculpture that caught my attention.
