🎶 See ya real soon 🎶
I never knew my destiny was to sail on the Disney Cruise ship Destiny, but there I was, on the high seas with my family and a plethora of Disney artwork 😁
There are paintings, there are sculptures, there are full-sized statues; along with all these weirdos walking around in costume 😉

Ahoy-hoy!
We recently took a cruise on the beautiful Disney Cruise ship Destiny, which is chock-full of beautiful artwork, perfect for an art-geek like me 🙂
Here's some of that artwork, in no real particular order because I'm actually getting to the end of my artwork pictures 😉
But it's still really sweet 😃

"Avast, ye swabs!"
I was blessed to join my family on the Disney Cruise ship Destiny, and being the movie-loving art nerd that I am I took lots of pictures, because there were lots of things to take pictures of 🙃
It's a big ship with lots of people so there are elevators and staircases fore and aft (that's sailor talk), with Disney 'Heroes' fore and 'Villians' aft, so the landings at the turn of each stairway have a huge painting or a series of art pieces, or both 😉
Here are a few that I got pictures of, there are many many more 🙂

When you're fast enough to run on water you don't need a boat 😉
I don't know if you include animated movies in your favorites of all time, but if you don't, get that stick out your butt, okay? 😅😅
Sometimes story and medium come together perfectly, and one of those times is in The Incredibles, one of my favorite movies of all time, where all the characters seem finely-drawn and even supporting players are memorable (Edna Mode: "SUPER-models. Ha! Nothing super about them!") and the action is...well, incredible 😎
The following artwork is from the Disney Cruise ship Destiny, some is from our cabin and some is from various places from around the ship; it's kind of a movie-lover's paradise, if you like animated movies 🙂

Ahoy to you! 🙃
We recently took a voyage on the Disney Cruise ship Destiny, and as an arty nerd-geek I did the natural thing: I geeked out 😎
Along with stills, sculptures and such things there were sweet mosaics, huge things with tiny pieces of stone to give the illusion of a cohesive piece 😮
I guess it's not an illusion, it IS a cohesive piece 😉
The floor wasn't even the best part of many of these entrances, Disney with their iconic characters and unlimited funds seemed to make every place special 🙂
It was a special time with my family and I even took pics of my family and not just artwork 😎

Ahoy again!
We recently had the privilege of boarding the Disney Cruise ship Destiny (I consider Disney like Apple, as in you have to pay for the privilege) 😉
Besides food, fun, and family there was artwork from the moment you queued up to board; the ship is divided into 'Heroes' in the front and 'Villians' in the back (that's 'fore' and 'aft' in nautical terms, matey) and it was quite an immersive experience, figuratively speaking 😎
Another thing about the ship: it was constructed as component pieces and put together room-by-room so to speak 😮

Ahoy!
In all my life I never thought I'd go on a cruise, but over our country's 250th birthday I was out of the country(!) on the Disney Destiny with my family, feeling like a very lucky guy, which I guess I am 😁
I'm also an arty guy, and if Disney is anything, it's art. The ship is divided into 'Heroes' (fore), and 'Villians' (aft), with scores of sketches, paintings and sculptures; so many that if I put all the pictures I took in one post it would be ridiculous, so instead I'm going to make a ridiculous amount of posts 😎
I'll try to keep them bite-sized and with some sort of theme, and speaking of bite-sized, let's start with pictures of food (and foody art) 😉

Hello again 😀
As we were working out things to put on the shelves for the mural at the Holgate Community Library I stuck a few old radios in, because I like old radios 😉
This also makes a fair seque into 'what came next in the mural?', because these two Art Deco radios are what came next, at about 15 feet off the ground 🙃
There are more words in the photo descriptions if you'd like to read them 😎

This column is about columns 😎

I suppose that would be 'trim' on a normal-sized bookcase, but as I stand beside them and look up I l think 'column' is a pretty accurate description 😉
I've been doing a step-by-step 'what came next?' series on this mural but I'm going to break from that to give you you a 'so close' update 😀
But, just to recap: I'm painting a mural on the side of the Holgate Community Library with a bookshelf motif, and as I've painted what's ON the shelves I've been negligent on the bookshelf (figuratively) holding them up; that may be a blessing in disguise, instead of putting it up piecemeal I could kind of match up what I'd already done at the top (that I DID do piecemeal so I wouldnt have to climb up again) 😁
Anyhow, the last text I sent was 'all that's left is the signing'...and then it started raining 😐

But I'll be showing up soon to do the signing 🙃

Hello yet again 🙂
I wasn't sure how to start this installment of 'what came next on the wall of the Holgate Community Library?' so I thought I would start in Brickell Alley in Defiance, Ohio 🙃
When we were exploring designs for the alley, along with the new Clinton Street bridge with Fort Defiance in the background or a tribute to the 'Werewolf Of Defiance' was an idea for a bookcase with books, bric-a-brac, and a very tall flapper (from the roaring '20s) leaning against it with a book in her hand; we didn't go with any of those but I kept the 'leaning against the bookcase' idea and also finished the flapper sketch I'd made, because why not? 😉
Holgate, Ohio is a very small town with a lot of heart and a lot of history, and a large part of this history is in the person of Joe E. Brown. Joe was one of the few Vaudeville performers to make the transition from stage to screen with slapstick and physical comedy; to that end his rubber face helped greatly and he used it to great effect 😁
I built most of him in Adobe Photoshop as I only had a few good photos; I picked a pretty famous shot of him, but the colorization and body is all me, in some parts literally 😄

If you'd like I can post the roughs I made for the mural ideas I mentioned earlier, I hope you'll like because I'm going to post them soon 😎
