World of 1907 | Cromwell Dixon's Sky-Cycle

https://johnnez.wordpress.com/the-world-of-1907

Cromwell Dixon’s Sky-Cycle. The true story of America’s first flying bicycle. 100 years ago, huge crowds of spectators were amazed by every sort of fantastic flying airship. Aeronautical events were wildly popular. Very few people had ever seen anyone actually fly before. These airshows were held every year and attracted aviators from all around the world. There were awards and cash prizes for the winners. Meanwhile, daring aeronauts invented imaginative flying contraptions of every sort.

Cromwell’s Story | Cromwell Dixon's Sky-Cycle

https://johnnez.wordpress.com/cromwell-dixons-story

Cromwell Dixon’s Sky-Cycle. The true story of America’s first flying bicycle. Photo of Cromwell Dixon from the Dick Stettler Photo Collection. Cromwell Dixon began dreaming about airships at a very young age. Before he built his Sky-Cycle, Cromwell had invented other amazing things. He built his own mechanical fish that swam, a motorbike, a 4-person row boat and a backyard roller-coaster of his own. Mrs Dixon helped Cromwell with his projects, but Cromwell did most of the work himself.

Artwork | Cromwell Dixon's Sky-Cycle

Cromwell Dixon’s Sky-Cycle. The true story of America’s first flying bicycle. Every book begins with pencil sketches on paper. This is a scan of a finished pencil drawing with shadows added in photoshop. This rough indication of halftones helps to work out how the shadows should be painted in the next stage. This animation shows the progression of the illustration in stages from pencils to halftones to the final image. This shows how each new layer in photoshop is added in to create the image.

A flying bicycle | Cromwell Dixon's Sky-Cycle

https://johnnez.wordpress.com/a-flying-bicycle

Cromwell Dixon’s Sky-Cycle. The true story of America’s first flying bicycle. Cromwell Dixon’s first airship was powered with a bicycle. Pedaling the bicycle transferred power to turn the propeller. The complexity of building a controlled airship was considerable. Cromwell used sand bags to balance the Sky-Cycle and adjust the altitude. A photo of Cromwell testing a new propeller.

John Nez Illustration: February 2015

http://johnnez.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 28. Freezer delivery from Burkina-Faso! Yesterday we had a new freezer delivered (old one died). It was bought online and the delivery notification was via a computer robot voice phone call. The robot even called with a 30 minute warning. So sure as shooting, there the truck was, just like the robot said. The truck parked in the alley. It turned out that the two freezer delivery men were from Africa - or more precisely from Burkina-Faso! I got to chat a bit with Djbril, telling him tha...

John Nez Illustration: April 2015

http://johnnez.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30. It was fun having a bunch of my fictional illustration buddies drop by the studio. So I captured the event on film. lol! Thursday, April 23. Back in the BC stone age, (before computers). Back in the BC stone age, (before computers) I used to make my promotion cards with cut and paste. And with press-type. I hated how press-type would start curling up and the letters started to crack and fall apart. And how I'd run out of zeros and use an O instead. Saturday, April 18. Monday, April 13.

John Nez Illustration: The 'French Toast Brush' - don't leave home without it!

http://johnnez.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-french-toast-brush-dont-leave-home.html

Tuesday, June 2. The 'French Toast Brush' - don't leave home without it! I think I fell for the socks on this one. I had to get out my 'french toast brush' to correctly render the breakfast. It was interesting working from the rough sketch to a rough finish - with lots of fun on the way getting there. And this child reminded me of my own child way back when. at the start when life was all wonderful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A wise foxy tale about being happy. Spot Saves the Day.

Wednesday, June 24. Mr Bear is finally finished. And it's time for Mr. Bear to finally say 'Bear is finished!

John Nez Illustration: The latest 'bear update'

http://johnnez.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-latest-bear-update.html

Sunday, June 7. The latest 'bear update'. And of course everyone is waiting for the latest 'bear update' - well here it is. As you can see if you scroll down through a little, the figure began in a swirl of vague forms driven by the gesture. But now it's coming right along. taking care not to lose the spontaneity of the rough sketch. My secret sauce will add some rough splashy color to increase the spontaneity.

Tuesday, July 14. Part 3 - How to run away to NYC to become a children's book illustrator. Our bumbling saga continues as our spanking new Knickerbocker finds his way around town. full of pep, vim and vigor. Next problem. where the heck was I going to live? I thought I’d outsmart the commute one day and locate on Staten Island! I loved my little room at first sight. A little sunlit room facing south on the second floor of a walk up brownstone.

Having arrived in the big city with his duffel bag stuffed with illusions, ignorance, innocence and pluck. along with hopes and dreams and socks. Ah, New York. the city of True Egalitarianism.

John Nez Illustration: May 2015

http://johnnez.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29. My basic working method is simple. Basically my working method is simple - I sketch and draw and draw and sketch until the tabletop is covered with sketches. Then the sketches are scanned into Photoshop. and when the pile of papers on my desk looks like it's becoming a fire hazard I tidy all the sketches into a corner by the cupboard, and keep on drawing. It's actually quite effective. Bridge keeps track of everything else. Monday, May 25. Today's chapter of 'Draw It Quick! Friday, May 22.

Tuesday, July 21. Part 5 - How to run away to NYC to become a children's book illustrator. The children's book illustration class with Maurice Sendak was held in a corner window studio on the 11th floor, high over 5th Avenue. I remember I was so nervous on the first day. waiting for the famous Mr. Sendak to appear. I’d have never guessed he’d turn out to be a disarmingly unpretentious regular guy from Brooklyn. I loved Walter and Niiad Einsel's class too. They were so calm and focused and seemed to i...

KASINO | kuin tiikeri

Jos kasino olisi eläin, se olisi luultavasti petoeläin, kuten tiikeri. Lumoavan näyttävä mutta samalla vaarallinen. Nämä ominaisuudet kuitenkin kiinnostavat kasinoaiheisten elokuvien yleisöä ja se näkyy kasinoelokuvien menestyksenä. Kasinoelokuvissa pelataan kovilla panoksilla ja usein myös sotkeudutaan rikosjuoniin. Elokuvissa olennaisena osana juonta on kuitenkin rahapotin voitto. Popin ystäville taas Lady Gagan Pokerface. Seassa on myös ikivihreitä klassikoita, sellaisia kun Ray Charlesin Blackjack.

John Nez Illustration

March 3, 2018. Epic new sculpture arrives at the SAM. Yesterday I visited the amazing new John Grade 'Middletree' sculpture hanging in the lobby of the Seattle Art Museum. This sculpture is EPIC! It’s historic, scientific, ecological, recyclable, societal and just plain gorgeous and soul redeeming. Bravo Seattle. It's made of millions of little bits of cedar glued together by volunteers and community groups, so it's societal. Those ugly cars were hanging in the lobby for decades. I say keep it longer!

John_Francis's Blog | My Life Layed Down for the Sake of Jesus Christ

John Francis's Blog. My Life Layed Down for the Sake of Jesus Christ. Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. (John 14:9, 10 ESV). Allow me the liberty to unpack this. Verse 12 messes me up.
