Pretty funny ;)

A little-known fact is that Gandalf the Groovy during his period of rampant drug abuse and sexual experimentation also lived in Germany (or Austria?) for some time, thinly disguised a folk singer Peter Steiner. It was during this time that he infamously recorded the song "It's Cool Man":

Nice mini and gorgeous color choice!

And the backgroud made me laugh.

Thanks for sharing.

Also wanted to mention the pictures really show off your brushwork & highlighting. Nice camera work!

Thanks so much! My husband and I were just commenting yesterday how much his painting has improved since joining the LAF 2 years ago. The caliber of the artists here and the joy folks have when giving tips or examples of their own work make this forum a genuine community.

I had no blog 20 days ago until fellow LAFfer Little Odo asked where to see all my comics! So it's extra nice to see LAFfers enjoying it.

Can't wait to see more of your work here!

How damn, I'd like to join the order of the groovy wizards...
Lovely painting, I like the contrast in his facial areas a lot. Welcome to the adventure!
