Thomas Arthur Turner: book reading

Thomas Arthur Turner: book reading. I can certainly relate to my fathers cartoons, two of which demonstrate that he really had problems with the written word, as do I.  I confess, he was brilliant, a chemical engineer, he could see things that others could not. I say this too, and the old adage, watch your Ps and qs, is so telling about how each of our individual minds work.  for me b, d, p, and q are the same character, just oriented differently.  Like many, i can write my name upside down, using both hands, beginning expanding away with no problem.  Whats the big deal  (LOL), its the same string of motion, just oriented differently.

That said, i really do not enjoy reading.

Here is a second cartoon that my father made for his HS year book, saying that He really knew all along that he had to make his way, VISUALLY.  I have also had to do that.

 

 

Painted egg, edited four ways, photoshop and vectorized

Painted egg, edited four ways, photoshop and vectorized, one not really better than the other, just different. The vectorized versions look a little like complicated puzzle mosaic pieces, i kind of like that. Bottom image, photoshoped for dodging and burning and a little bit off contrast, next up from bottom, my phone image, next up from bottom a “clipart” vectorization of the original image, and top is a high quality vectorization in corelDRAW plus a little attributes changing in the lighter colors and white flower centers.  All printable, just ask me at PDQpatterns for the files.
