Moose no Squirrel - Grunge Humor
Alaskan Moose mostly don't have Squirrels as friends, not like Bullwinkle who had Rocky. My friend Dan inspired me to do this, he commented on a photo painting I did - something about a moose - so I remembered my Alaskan Moose photographs.
I decided to use a sandy grunge background in PhotoPaint and created the Pencil Sketches of the moose in Paint.NET. Then I instantly thought of Bullwinkle and Rocky ( name reversed because of subject being the moose.) I added some quotes I remembered from the show. One of the great cartoons of it's time.
I used the object properties of Color Burn for the overlaid pencil sketches. Adding a couple of Grunge fonts and I had a piece to share.
Personal note: I have a toothache and the Dentist says Root Canal. I am not too happy about that, as you can imagine, it hurts even with pain medication and antibiotics. So I hope for a quick change of that situation. Doesn't put you in the mood for working on music. Except maybe a song about it!
Still tuned to DADGAD and have been having fun with that tuning. Presses beyond your comfort level, to some creative highlights. Nice.
