What I've Been Working On

Post cards for a post card swap my mother talked me into joining. They're painted on paint chips, cool eh? The scanner was hard to work with, so the colors are a little off...





This one is going to a person who lives in Colorado Springs, CO, that's why they're on the elevation comparison:



I like this one best because it's an image I've had in my head for a long time. Strategic bombing of World War II, especially by the Allies, is as much of an atrocity as the Holocaust.
the aim of the Combined Bomber Offensive...should be unambiguously stated [as] the destruction of German cities, the killing of German workers, and the disruption of civilised life throughout Germany.
... the destruction of houses, public utilities, transport and lives, the creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale, and the breakdown of morale both at home and at the battle fronts by fear of extended and intensified bombing, are accepted and intended aims of our bombing policy. They are not by-products of attempts to hit factories.

--Sir Arthur Harris





Have you read Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles? I highly recommend it.


Some I like better than others. This is not one of them.


For Scott Evans:


I etched this one like a scratch-board. It took forever, but I like it.





There is no symbolism here:

Wow! Somebody's been busing! That's highly impressive, Logan. I can't deny being a little intimidate by your creative abilities right now.

Well, at least I can take comfort in the fact that Scott's postcard is as awesome as yours. (You boys and your jokes . . .)

(*rereading*) Dag, that was FOR Scott, not BY Scott. You remain unchallenged Supreme Postcard Maker. I bow in submission.

Wow. These are awesome! What a cool idea! Good work Logan. :)And I really like the sideways one with the ship...

Logan Thomas said...

Thanks gals! And that's okay Jessica, I understood. :)

The last one is my favorite. I like the bear walking sideways down the halo of the saint who has stepped off the page.
