Yep, I’m still here and still waiting for the District Court to publish their opinion on my case. My lawyer told me that as of 3:30pm Tuesday the files were still back with the 3-Judge Merit Panel which means it is unlikely that an opinion would be issued tomorrow but you never know. Unfortunately, there is no way to find out why the Judges are taking so long with this case as no one at the courthouse is allowed to discuss a case before an opinion has been officially published. I am sure that there is a good reason though and keep reminding myself to take a deep breath and be patient. I have a feeling that, when the opinion gets issued, it will offer some very interesting reading. I’ll let you know!

And, of course, for today’s freebies, I’m serving up a few new law-related images I created for use as icons or clip-art. As a reminder, if you use any of my artwork on your own (non-commercial) blog or (non-commercial) website to illustrate one of your posts, please be sure to include somewhere on your blog or website a link back to my IconDoIt blog, and also, please send me a message (via e-mail or a comment) with the URL link to where you have already and/or propose to use my original artwork. Thank-You! I really appreciate that courtesy.

Following through on my foray into oriental-inspired clip-art, I dug into my archives and came up with a few experiments I created several years ago based upon a couple of door knobs I found at an antique store. In those days, I made everything 128×128 pixels as that was the largest size usable for an icon on Mac’s OSX. Nowadays, 512×512 is the standard and so I’ve updated the old art to accommodate the new size and cleaned up the details. I’ve no idea whether these designs actually have some meaning in one or another Chinese dialects. I’d love to know but just do not have the ability to concentrate long enough to compare the characters to the hundreds of examples out there. If anyone out there can enlighten me on this, that’d be great.

In the meantime, Enjoy!

Inspiration’s Good Wherever It Comes From

Ya know how you tend to buy more at the grocery store if you go there hungry? Well, I’ve come up with a new twist on that. Tonight I just couldn’t get out of my mind a desire for Cantonese Pork Fried Rice with Duck Sauce on it, and the next thing I knew, I was drawing pictures of Chinese ladies and paper fans. Excuse me if that’s politically incorrect, but when I realized what I was doing (and why) I started laughing hysterically. (As you can tell, I’m easily amused these days). Ah well, I guess it’s as good an excuse as any to draw something different.

I’m still having a bit of trouble drawing hands right – especially when I’m drawing what is more or less a mirror image of my own hand. Next time I think I may try drawing a hand upside down, like the exercises from the book “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”. If you haven’t heard of that book or read it yet (came out around 30 years ago) I highly recommend it. The book really opened up a lot of doors for me as before I read it, I was convinced that I had absolutely no talent for drawing and blamed it on the fact that I’m dyslexic. That book taught me a way to overcome that to a large extent. Really amazing how our brains work.

I’m really tired tonight so I’m gonna close now and leave y’all with the fruits of my hungry labors. Enjoy!
