The art of Comics

I'm always on the lookout for comics about art.  Not only are the artists who create comics talented artists, but they bring a smile.  

Speed Bump captured my painting dilemma perfectly!

Speed Bump by David Coverly

I enjoy many, but Speed Bump is my first stop in the morning comics.  Rarely does fellow Michigander David Coverly not capture something that reminds me of someone I know.

RETIRED

This is a painting I did for a friend's retirement.  Lisa Redman & I met in 1985 and we've remained friends all these years.  When Lisa retired, I wanted to do a still-life painting that was a reflection of her.  Lisa always had a can of coke in the morning to give her that jolt of caffeine so the crumbled coke is meant to signify retirement and the new coke can is for new adventures.  Lisa's boss, Ron Olive, wrote the book "Capturing Jonathan Pollard", about the case Lisa & I worked together, so I had to include it... don't tell Ron, but what I really liked was the color of the book's jacket.  

Sorry this isn't the best photograph.  You can see there is too much light coming from a window when I took a quick photo, but I hope you get the gist.  One of these days I need to remember to take a camera when I visit Lisa.
