Migration home to BenWalkerArt.com

Hello friends, I want to let you know I've migrated my blogs. They are now integrated with my web site, BenWalkerArt.com. I will post art news and progress pics there. I've also started a daily sketch blog to document my adventures in the wilds of San Francisco. Check out San Francisco WildLife at BenWalkerArt.com/SF-Wildlife. Learn all about the fascinating inhabitants of The City with these illustrations and short descriptions. Here are some to get you started!

You can also follow me on Twitter or Instagram for SF-Wildlife on the run: @ArtOfBenWalker

(Now, let us never speak of Blogspot's layout editing tools again.)

Ellingson's Daily Slimer

My friend Josh Ellingson draws a Slimer every day. At least, he has been for the last 116 days. They are all done on dry erase board. It's a habbit that started naturally enough. He drew the first 60 at work. Not on the sly either; The big-wigs and everybody else loved it! You see, he was working on a Ghostbusters casino game so his dry-erase Slimers were drawn to warm up and to rally the troops.

The Ghostbusters game is pretty much wrapped up now and Josh has moved on to other projects. But that hasn't slowed down the Daily Slimers. And now he's pulled other artists into it! So here is my take on Slimer. Haven't you ever wondered what he looked like before he was a ghost? I sure did.
