New Home for this site

Hello!
This blog has been a fun place for me to rant about all things, but I've scored a new home with fun new features and have migrated everything over to there.
If you'd still like to follow along with what I'm up to, please mosey over to:
Where I've already taken it upon myself to jabber on about some exciting and entirely new topics of note.

Thanks for reading!! More on the way.
Love to you,

Good Morning

Greetings!
I scooted up Mt. Diablo today. I had to carry all the painting stuff on my back. The drive up was amaazing and I was giggling like a school girl the whole way cuz it was so pretty. Once I'd scooted up the whole 3,000 feet to the summit, I turned around and stopped to try and make a painting - It came out kinda nasty but I learned a lot.
Deer came to see me while I painted!!!And everything was covered in amazing light all dayAs I was packing up I started hearing coyotes! It was spooky and I left.
Next week I'm off to Maine with Ms. Ellen O'Reilly and friends and am hoping to make lots of stuff. So come back and see, please!
Until then,

Donde Esta La Biblioteca?

Greetings!
Took a long route on my scoot today and went over to Hog Island Oyster Co.

From there, I cruised back and stopped to do some painting.

The photo makes my painting seem like a lie, but it was sunny and blue skies when I started. I'm slow. Also, the frame is a lie. It's not really framed. The painting is still wet and drying in my bathroom. I just photoshopped that on there to try and make it look more impressive! This painting took about 3 hours, which was long enough for the weather to change about 4 times. Lots of deer hunters in the area stopping to check it out and say hello. Also, this was apparently in George Lucas' backyard - the road seen in the painting is Lucas Valley Road.
This was an amazing little stretch of redwoods that I cruised through on my way -And here's a cow I saw -And here's a stretch that I thought was really pretty -And here's my scooter, Morticia, chilling in nature across from where I was painting -A very nice day. Hoping to get back out again tomorrow.
Oh! And I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Chris Nabholz for breakfast this morning. Great to see him, and hope more friends will phone me up if they out to these parts. LOVEU NABHOLZ - GREAT SEEING YOU, FREND!
Ay-dios,

Pig Newton

Greetings, friends!
Here's some recent drawings. Ever since the Primos Parilla food truck disappeared and stopped serving delicious Argentinean food to my neighborhood I've been very, very upset. Felt the need to include them in this little sketchbook homage as a thanks for the best chicken of all time. They're the truck with the little "RIP" beneath it. Very sad, but I will never forget them or their mushed up green stuff that tasted to good with my chicken.That third truck up from the bottom is the Chairman Bao truck, and I just learned that the graphics on it were designed by James Jean! I had always liked them, and this would explain why. Also did a drawing on Haight street, and the other one's looking at the Ferry building on Embarcadero. Did one of Chinatown, too, but it sucked and my hands were freezing so I'm not posting it because it's just fugly.

How are you doing? Hopefully very well. I miss anyone and everyone that's not here right now and hope this is finding you well!!!
Much love!

I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY

Good evening!

Wanted to share a few drawings. Got a new set of watercolors that has me even more confused than usual and have also been trying pen instead of pencil. No matter what, having a lovely time making whatever mess I wind up with.

This one is of the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and the one below is Fort Mason.


Sending much love to everyone out there and hoping everyone had a fantastic weekend!!!

Fare thee well,

GORGES

Greetings all -
Headed over to Aurora, NY this weekend for a family funeral. Could have been a sad gathering, instead it was beautiful and great seeing everybody. Also lovely to to wish my mum a Happy Mother's Day in person. Aurora is right on Cayuga Lake and I'd almost forgotten how amazing that area of New York is. Here's my doodle:Sadly, Grandma passed away, but being with everyone else that loved her was the best way to say goodbye. Mostly I consider myself privileged for getting a solid 25 years of my life with her. Here's a picture of her:
And last, here is a jam I created this past week on mah computer. It's called "LOL". I named it LOL because all of the drum fills are my favorite and make me giggle every time I listen to this.
