Here’s the line drawing and color rough for the Ukulele that I posted about last week. I’m currently looking into imagekind.com’s printing services for selling prints since I do not have the hardware to do so. I’ve heard and seen good things from them through colleague and close friend James Provost.
Why not check out some of his prints that he showed me? Like this mighty fine Motor Scooter.

After reading this article on Wired.com about the new Iphone 3GS battery overheating to the point where you can’t even pick it up, I thought hey, perfect timing for summer. This is one thing the Iphone 3GS can do, “No app Required.”
(final ink drawing/final color version)
Here’s a link to wired.com’s article, written by Brian X. Chen.

Here are some photos of my work from the Birds and Bees Gallery Show.
That’s right, the Yerba Bird has been sold. Makes me pretty happy to hear that too! I’m glad I could help out all the way from Vermont…how about that INTERNET EH? YEAH! BRAPS ALL AROUND!
But hey, Waffle is still for sale, only $125 framed, and it’s an original.
*Don’t try reheating that waffle though…it’s made with wax so it will melt. *

I’m just tinkering with the blog. Searching for a new look and a better theme of what I want it to do for me…I enjoy the idea of twitter in my blogs. Stay Focused.

I love fountain pens. Hands down they beat any other type of pen on the market in a bare knuckle brawl.
I recently bought an EF Lamy Safari to replace my Rotring Art Pen that I used to use 24/7 because I draw my letters and outline them and hey lets face it a Fine nib isn’t Extra Fine. Needless to say I love my supplies and like to know what does what when mixed with what have yous and what nots. So here’s a link I found on the web when researching what kind of ink works well in fountain pens and what kind of pens to get in case you were looking for a top notch one.
Moleskine Friendly Fountain Pens
That link contains some pretty swell readings and I think my next purchase is going to be that Noodlers Bullet Proof Black since it works great in fountain pens and not to mention it’s bullet proof. I know you’re probably expecting a drawing to go along with this POAST and normally I would have one but I threw out my higgins caligraphy ink (But, not if you were this higgins.) because as it turns out it’s no good for fountain pens. Thats why it pays to research your supplies.

Ok, so there isn’t a new video…but it’s a new take on my NYC Video. My brother sent me this pretty swell “BENNY HILLIFIER” link. Just take the code of any youtube video and it plays the theme song of The Benny Hill show over it. Too bad it doesn’t speed it up but HERE IT IS.
Chad Covino Goes to NYC – Benny Hillified
I tried it out with all of them and it seems to work best with this one.
*Side Note*
I always have this song playing in my head whenever I travel, haha.
This coming Saturday, November 15th in the great city of Toronto at the Gladstone Hotel, I will be apart of a gallery show called…”TOUCHED BY FIRE.” It’s a show for artists with mood disorders, for I has the ADHD. Here’s a link to read more about it:
Wish I could go but I have a wedding to go to and I’m unable to attend. Dry. BUT, keep reading to see the piece I framed and entered.
*For all of those who want to know why there has been a lack of updates, keep reading.* read more…
Heres some photos from the Art Hop that was in Burlington, Vermont.
