DD70 – Once and for all

DD67 – Sour Grapes
I have always wondered where the term “Sour Grapes” came from. To me it means putting things down because you can’t attain them. Here is what Wiki says: The term originates from an Aesop’s Fable —The story concerns a fox that tries … Continue reading DD67 – Sour Grapes
DD65 – Life’s Paths
Some people think that life goes in a straight line from birth to death, but I kinda think it is much more complicated than that. It is made up of twists, turns, and tangents of various flavors. That is what … Continue reading DD65 – Life’s Paths
MME68 – RJC Avatar Rekindled
I will admit here that my avatar here at RJsCorner is about 26 years old. It was taken in 2000 on my wife’s sixtieth birthday. When I recently sent it through one of my “MyMindsEye” apps it made the shoreline … Continue reading MME68 – RJC Avatar Rekindled
DD64 – Round and Round We Go

MME1 – At The SaltLake

MME70 – I Miss My Critters

DD2 – No Imagination
DD48- All Wrapped Up
I first thought the doodle above was a bird, but then I quickly saw it as possibly a self-portrait of me wrapped up in an inescapable cocoon of many fabrics. Continue reading DD48- All Wrapped Up
MME58 – RetCom Drums

DD59 – Flying Away, Plain & Simple
Recently, I have needed an escape place from my regular routine. It is there that I generated this digital doodle. I know I am in my RetCom apartment probably 98% of the week. That’s fine most of the time. LOMO (life On My Own) is where I generally want to be. But.. Continue reading DD59 – Flying Away, Plain & Simple
DD57 – By Any Other Name…
I think this doodle is kinda between Simple and Sophisticated. At least I’m working on it. Continue reading DD57 – By Any Other Name…
MME10 – Creative Lighting
In the last 15 years I have probably been to at least 40 museums. Some were locals that were usually in a once abandoned building. Others were the million dollar version, where each room proudly displayed the name of a … Continue reading MME10 – Creative Lighting

DD51 – Nothing But Net

DD55 – California Sunset
I went deaf before closed captions were available, so when I watched TV, I used to make up my own story of what I was watching. Of course I was always wrong. In that vein, I will let you make … Continue reading DD55 – California Sunset
DD58 – Paradise Gained
Ok, maybe this doodle is not really Paradise Gained, but given the red coconuts, it is certainly unique. Continue reading DD58 – Paradise Gained
DD50 – Wright Bicycle

DD53 – Aflight
For those of you who know “line art” you will certainly tell me this is not that. Yes, I admit that I broke many rules in making the image above. But who am I if not a “rules breaker”? I … Continue reading DD53 – Aflight
DD52 – Blazing Tattoo
I am having trouble staying in the box that is defined as Line Art. The idea appeals to me, but putting it into practice is another thing. This image started out in the traditional Line Art mode, but quickly demanded … Continue reading DD52 – Blazing Tattoo
DD44 – Allergies…
This is my rendition of what allergies are today. It just seems like many more kids today have serious allergies than they did in my youth. Tongue-in-cheek I kinda specuate that is because they because kids today live in a much more sterile environment that we did. Continue reading DD44 – Allergies…

DD29 – Empty Shells
No, the title is not about me as a person. My shell is always so full it is constantly overflowing. Instead, I am talking about the image above, which is another beginning attempt at line art. I know I am not supposed to add color to line art, but something inside me just insisted I add some to this one. Continue reading DD29 – Empty Shells
DD33 – Hectic Celebrations
I was in a cheerful but still on the dark side when I created this image. Everything is moving along in rhythm, but a congested rhythm. My masks that I used to wear to get along with the crowd are … Continue reading DD33 – Hectic Celebrations

DD22 – Self Portrait- Confused

DD26 – An AlcaTraz Sandwich

DD43 – Baby Steps – Windy City
