Second Annual Chevy Chase Art Fair

 Just back from strolling on this gorgeous day through the Second Annual Chevy Chase Art Fair, a smallish, but very nice outdoor art fair currently though Sunday at the small walking square in front of Bloomingdales at the corner of Wisconsin and Bradley in Chevy Chase. 

Details here.

I walked the fair, as there's a lot of nature photography, paintings, some very cool glass and some fabric artists.

Best in show?

An elegant photograph by Santa Cruz photographer Andrew Butler titled "Watchful Eye", which is not only superbly textured by being presented in a very interesting and fitting form, floated in an antique and equally textured window frame, but also a photo with a wide range of inherent textures itself - go see what I mean tomorrow!

You can contact the photographer here - and go see the show! Outdoors and free and on tomorrow until 5PM.

Asmodeus

 I keep drawing this guy...


Who is this demonic Asmodeus? (part of my "Fallen Angels" series)

Asmodeus - Al Gore's Internet keeps telling me - is one of the “seven princes of hell." This fucker is a demon whose awful and awesome and nasty wickedness is matched only by his intelligence, power and ability to react. He specializes in spreading lust - or wantonness... and he reaches into all kinds of peopleses... not just ordinary folks, but even divine beings!

Lust is a powerful thing!

Another Navy cartoon

As some of you know, I used to do a lot of cartoons while I was in the Navy... some were published in base newspapers,  Navy magazines,  Stars & Stripes, etc. I gave most of them away over the years... here's another one of the fabled Seaman Schmuckatelli.
