Today, July 15, would be Rembrandt's 417th birthday (b. 1606). His work is so personal and iconoclastic. Just a defining example of what an individual can do and express. This is my low-poly 3d sculpt of him(unfinished). #rnapper #mastoArt #lowpoly #rembrandt
Harry Dean Stanton was born on this day, 1926. A great character actor. My very favorite roll of his was in Repo Man, as Bud. "Etch this on your brain kid, 'I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof...". This is my very rough sketch of a minute ago. #rnapper
Courtney Love's birthday was July 9. Doll Parts and Violet would be my favorites of hers. This is a sketch I did of her in 2021. #rnapper
Today is Ringo Starr's birthday. AKA Richard Starkey. And this is a sketch page of mine from fall of 2021. #rnapper #realpencil
Today is Sylvester Stallone's birthday, famous for Death Race 2000 or something. I drew this about 5 years ago while still in my sketching prime. #rnapper #watercolor
Here's a sketch I just finished of female drag-racer Shirley Muldowney, and actress Bonnie Bedelia, who played her. I don't condone drag racing, but why not salute a pioneer in cracking a glass-ceiling on independence day? #rnapper #WaterColor
Jun22 is Cyndi Lauper's birthday. This is my tiny 3 inch sketch of her from about a year ago. #rnapper
J P Sartre's birthday is June 21. His contribution: you are radically free. You make yourself. But, somehow, I remember a quote that he might not have ever said "I can sex a pigeon from fifty paces". I've seen no evidence on the web that he actually said it, but I wish that he had. This is my recently drawn sketch of him. #RNapper #mastoArt
This is my sketch made today of a photo from behind the scenes of filming Bonnie and Clyde. Faye Dunaway is seated in front of a camera here. Warren Beatty in lower left. A crowd of Mississippians look on. #rnapper #watercolor
Here's a sketch of Mike Oldfield. I drew this because I liked how distant in time the 70's photo looks to me. It turns out he became a mega star after Tubular Bells. I made this yesterday. #rnapper
Here's a sketch of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. Today would be Waylon Jennings' birthday. This is an example of people I draw to contemplate what an era looked like. #rnapper #watercolor
Jun5 is Spalding Grey's birthday. He'd be 82. Influential for his one-person play and monologues. Hard to believe how long ago all that was. This is sort of a sketch of him. #rnapper
Because we're deep into Spring, here's a sketch I did 30 years ago in the Boston area. You should sketch, you really should. Looking at this in this sketchbook makes 30 years feel like a minute ago. #rnapper #watercolor
Here's a sketch from 3 years ago when I was descending into covid madness. I was thinking of Randy Newman's "Piece of the Pie" where he says "no one gives a shit but Jackson Browne". That feeling of being marooned on earth-- unforgettable. #rnapper #animationOnMouseOver
My cartoon version of Cher dancing at studio 54, ca. early 1970's. Today, May 20 is her birthday. #rnapper #pencildrawing #mastoArt #cher
May 16 is the birthday of Darrell Sweet, orig drummer of Nazareth. I never owned any of their recordings, but I remember Hair of the Dog, thanks to FM radio. He died young, sadly, as so many performers do. My watercolor sketch from a minute ago.#rnapper
Because no one asked, here's a watercolor of Rip Van Winkle sleeping through the future of humanoid birds dancing around bird idols. Some forms of art are probably safe from AI for now. #rnapper #watercolor
Today is the birthday of virtuoso Stevie Wonder. Too many songs to list. But today is as good a day as any to listen to "They Won't Go When I Go" (my personal favorite). Here's my sketch of him from a minute ago. #rnapper #steviewonder #watercolor
