James - The Birth of "Rock" Music & 3 Faves

If authors can have "Writer's Block", then artists can probably get "Paint Blahs" or something. I've been absent a while and I explained it sort of on my current blog on James Parker Art.
I'm sorry....I found both Ed and Vern's Journal staring at me, and woke up and started in motion again. Ed's theme is music...artists, images, ...anything to do with music. Going back a few eons, I have depicted the birth of "rock"music with the band "The Rolling Fossils" performing "The Wooly Mammoth Stomp". This was illustrated just moments before a real wooly mammoth came along and did, indeed, stomp them into fossils.


On the second page of Ed's Journal I did crude attempts at three of my favorite artists, The Moody Blues, Yanni, and Enya. And my apologies to all three of them.

  5. Goodness James, stay away from that nasty plant that hurt your eyes or better yet, perhaps you need to wear protective goggles! Love both of these paintings, a wonderful contribution to Edward's book. Dean's book should be dry enough in about a week or so for mailing...get your painting fingers ready.

  8. The 1st page is a hoot, James! I believe the first recording studio was in Fred's hometown of Bedrock.

    Great color choices on the Moody Blues.
