Bar-B-Q Bike?

"Bicycle" is this week's Illustration Friday theme. And since I've wanted to contribute to the Guy Francis and Stacy Curtis' "Banjo Pig" blog for quite a while now, I decide to kill two pigs with one bicycle. I mean two birds with one... never mind. http://banjopigs.blogspot.com/
Still trying to experiment with Brushes and other painting apps on the iPad. This was almost entirely created with Brushes.
I am tending to prefer Brushes mainly for its ability to "re-create" the file on my computer at much higher resolution using their companion app "Brushes Viewer."
(Thanks to the guys at Banjo Pigs: http://banjopigs.blogspot.com for posting on their blog!)

Journey

"Darnitall, Edna, how is it that every time we come back from our trips, we bring back twice as much as we left home with!? That trailor is dragging behind like it weighs ten thousand pounds!" Ahhh, it really is all about the Journey, isn't it? Whether it's the journey to or fro...

Bottled late than never... or canned, or jarred,

Oh well, I missed the last Illustration Friday deadline and there's already a new category out. Last week's was "bottled." Don't know why this was the first thing I thought of. "Bless her heart, ole' Maybelle has done gone and done so much cannin', she's canned herself!" Did this with "Procreate" app on iPad.

First iPad Brushes painting

I figured out how to post this, so, here ya go.
This is my first iPad painting using the "brushes" app.
I like the progressive build animation, as a whole, better than the final still image. A cool feature of brushes. Wasn't thinking of anything or anyone specific, though, he does look Asian, then becomes Norwegian, and then perhaps Dutch, aging all the while.
