    In my youth I constantly drew in notebooks. I was certain I would be an artist. And then I got married and raised three kids. I got into the working world and fully became an art fan. Not an artist myself it seems, just wanted to be. Or was I?

    Anyways I am trying to get my pen on the paper again.

    (Let’s see what I got.)

    A stroke and three brain surgeries has made me desire to create again.

    I wanted to post this- to motivate myself. Now I must create!

    I’m going to try to make a homage kind of thing to my favorite artist rip and my favorite place.

    Richard Corben and knotts berry farm.

    It’s going to be called
    “Bat out of knotts berry”.

    I will post it.

    These are my inspirations.

    To be continued…

    Quoted from Azmodeus:

    And then I got married

    Famous last words

    Quoted from Azmodeus:

    Holy crap that’s some scary stuff and glad to see you pulled through. I’ve seen a lot of bad outcomes from that stuff so we are lucky to have you here creating.

    Great artwork keep it up!

    Looks great, like a back glass on a new machine.
    Always wanted to create or have created a new back glass for FB. Never seen a really good rendention of Jesus returning in Revelation. White horses, hundreds of others following cracking the sky. He has white hair and bronze (gold) skin.
    I can see it in my mind but its another thing to put it to paint.
    Bet you could do something like that.

    Knott's is a fantastic place. Given your title, may I humbly suggest having a look at Xcelerator? It's one of my favorite roller coasters in the world. It launches from 0-80mph in 2.3 sec, and rocks a great So-Cal speed shop / '57 Chevy vibe to the station and trains.

    Good luck on your creation!

    Before my stroke and three brain surgeries, my go to was excelerator then supreme scream rinse and repeat.

    Now I literally sit in the bbq between the two and listen to the screams!

    I grew up in metro Detroit so cedar pointe was an annual trip for more than 20 years 1977 to 1990.

    Knotts is such great nostalgia for me.

    I agree on the excelerator.

    I knew Richard Corben from his contributions to the Warren comics Creepy and Eerie. I gravitated toward those as a kid because they did not conform to the comics code and were a bit more risqué. I did not realize that he had done the iconic Meatloaf Bat Out of Hell cover. That’s an album I’ve appreciated, but never owned.

    I have previously been a professional graphic designer, art director, and illustrator. The advice I offer is the same as was offered to me by my high school Vo-Tech mentor, a Pratt grad and Madison Avenue veteran. Start with lots of thumbnail sketches of every idea you have, then do a few 1/4 size roughs of the best. Now, do two or three half size roughs of the best candidates. Finally, proceed with a full sized rough, and then execute!

    Design is a process and can be learned. Art is a passion.

    I would point you at a good Corben art book if there was a definitive one. It’s not out there yet…

    This was One of my favorites as a kid from the warren days.
    I have realized one of my favorite living artists is Errol Otis. Now that Corben has passed on.

    Going to try to summon some Virgil finlay in my art too.
