Gunless with Paul Gross as Sean Rafferty, the Montana Kid

A digital painting of a digital image from a screen capture of the Canadian Film, "Gunless"


And here's a closeup so you can see the "brushstrokes".  I did the painting part of this.  Really neat I think, and opens up all kinds of painting possibility cheats, like in the olden days.  I like a "painterly" look, not too detailed.

George Boole, inventor of Boolean Algebra fails to make his mark in history

Stay in School Boole
George Boole is, in the end, a disappointment to the current generation.  He was all set for a banger of a moniker and yet passed on the opportunity.  Imagine the interest in the young folks if instead of  "George", he was Joole Boole, Casper Boole, Cool Boole, Tool Boole, Fool Boole, Boole the Ghoul, Stool Boole,  or any other hipster cred.
