After some back and forth, I finally dececided on the illustration I wanted to use as my new promo postcard. I finished this piece in the wee hours of Monday morning. I was kind of surprised I sat here Sunday night and worked on this. I rarely paint on Sunday […]

Here’s a screenshot of my new painting I’m working on right now. I’m going for a really moody foggy look and have this strong cast of warm light from the street lamp. The shot below is the bare bones of how I start my paintings in PSD. I really don’t have any set “rules” on [...]

Let me start off by stating that although this story ultimately ends with THIS, it is not the same type of celebrity story found elsewhere on this blog.
Mel Tormé was most famous for his beautifully mellow voice, but he accomplished so much in his career.
He was an actor in radio serials.
He wrote over 250 songs.
He was an accomplished drummer, playing drums in a big band led by Chico Marx. Mel befriended drummer Buddy Rich and eventually wrote a book about him. Mel also owned a drumset that drummer Gene Krupa had used for many years and he played this drumset at the 1979 Chicago Jazz Festival with Benny Goodman on the classic "Sing, Sing, Sing".
He helped pioneer cool jazz.
He wrote songs and musical arrangements for the The Judy Garland Show. He later had a falling out with Garland and wrote a very unflattering book about her and his experiences with her show.
He was a licensed pilot.
He appeared in nine episodes of Night Court and one episode of Seinfeld.
He disliked rock and roll music, calling it "three-chord manure", although he recorded a guest vocal with Was (Not Was) in 1983.
And Mel hated the nickname "The Velvet Fog".
Mel Tormé's career spanned seven decades and there was no denying his diverse talent. However, the inspiration for this illustration was a beautiful and touching story that I came across on povonline.com, the website of Mark Evanier (a very talented guy in his own right!). Mark wrote about his "almost encounter" with Mel at a Los Angeles Farmer's Market. I urge you to read Mark's story HERE. It is perfect.
This drawing was created entirely onsite at the 2008 WXPN XPoNential Music Festival.

On a Foggy, Froggy morning, Jerome sat quietly. Justin, Jared, Jerimiah, Jethro and Jonathan leap frogged their way around the pond but, all Jerome could think about was the beautiful creature he had seen sitting beside the pond earlier that morning.
Through the fog, her golden hair and blushing cheeks had captivated him. As she ran her fingers gently through the sparkling water, he sounded a morning greeting. Suddenly startled by his booming croak she jumped up quickly and fled through the bushes.
Now all that was left was her little golden crown floating carelessly among the reeds and blossoms. Would she return to retrieve it?
Of course if you knew ANYTHING AT ALL about the princess, you would know that this was not an uncommon occurrence.
