I have been making it regularly into my Mothers work once a week - Thursday. Focus has been on building with the blocks and art - drawing/painting. Oil pastel and pencil have been my medium of choice there. I just sit down in the art area and start drawing/painting. Kids come up and join me as they like - collaborating on works.

Illustration is a focus in the art area - asking questions like ‘what do you want me to draw’, and redrawing elements in several works (houses are an example here). Work that is produced could be used as concept art for a video-game (I was hinting for some Treasure Island concept ideas).

Here are several oil pastel works that I have produced with the kids.

Enjoy -

This weekend I had Hamilton Computer Club May Workshop. Every second Saturday of the month this happens.

The numbers this month were a little low - many of the regulars were not there. Though, I lured children into the room with Digital Painting and felts/white a4 paper. The computer club really needs some younger members so I felt this was very valuble.

Giving them a little food helps also - especially for the teenagers.

I worked on Digital Painting for the day - producing several works. I also completed black and white/color tonal layers. People were impressed.

So since being banned from posting on RedditGetsDrawn I decided to go ahead and make my own subreddit - artcontroldrawsyou. I have been writing Reddit python scripts that gets data from one subreddit and posting the data to a new subreddit/saving the data.

I have also been getting back into doing tonal black and white/color digital works. These are not included in this post - but keep an eye out in future.

I know some one here can make this amazing. My Daughter and I sharing a dance at her wedding. If it helps the creative process any the song that was playing for the dance was Black Bird by the Beatles.

Here are more banned works from RedditGetsDrawn. I’ve talked to the mod leader - ItWillBeMine. He is not a very nice person but that’s ok. We both kept very calm when dealing with it. It was especially important that I was cool. Anyway I am really cold right now. I might jump into bed in a min.

Here are the works. I am not allowed to post artwork on /r/redditgetsdrawn but he will remove the ban if I agree to not tell people to post my art to their threads.

My posts were not getting downvoted (-1 on several) much and ive never seen negative comments regarding my works.

And That’s That.

Today I awoke to one message on Reddit: You have been banned from RedditGetsDrawn.

Banned for the art I submit. My art is so dangerous that it has to be banned. The harm that my art has caused others is unspeakable. People kill themselves by just having a peak.

It’s quite funny that the only option the mods of RGD have for me is a ban. I rarely talk on the subreddit (or artist lounge where there is discussion), I only submit art.

The comments I have been receiving have only been positive, nothing negative. The mods tell me that my work is often reported though. I wish they would just ignore the reports.

Anyway, I can’t publicly send others art on rgd now, but I can PM so I’m going to keep drawing people and just PM.

I have been drawing for such a long time and it’s a bit depressing about the ban, but I’m going to keep

Today was good. In the morning I visited Verne, giving him a hand with his computers. I need to write scripts in python to help him. Podcast, web scraping and text to mp3.

At Noon we went to the centre where the homeschool kids were working with Blender. Lawrance was also there.

I was out the back helping with the computer room for the afterschoolers. Teacher only day for Fairfield Intermediate so kids were hanging around everywhere. This is fine though as it’s great to have them around and show them stuff on the computer. They act as good mentors for the younger ones also.

We watched Frozen and played with the electronics kit.

Tonight I was very busy on the computer at home and did a bunch of digital line works with RedditGetsDrawn

Cheers,

Currently out of the back of centre running the afterschool computer program here in Fairfield. Fridays is the one day a week that it’s important for me to get in at Noon. The homeschool kids come in and do educational stuff on the computers. The focus has been on Blender. I did a little bit of modeling from last week but ended up digital drawing. Here are the results:

These are the digital drawings I produced at the centre recently. I was worried for sometime that I had lost these but Bruce was awesome and recovered the drive. He’s changed around how the computers boot - if no network is found it boots to public on its own machine. This is going to be helpful if the system ever dies like it did this week.
