Welcome to my First Web Page “Watch for Falling Pine-Cones” By Rusty Canevari |

There is an artist within
us all. On this Web Page, I will be sharing more of my drawings and I will be
commenting on the topics of Art, Humor, and the Gift
of Creativity. |

Picture Right: Charles
Schultz providing me friendly advice. (and
yes,... I used to have more hair) |
||
|
Charles Schulz had a
significant influence on my approach to drawing. He taught a cartooning class
at the SRJC for one semester and I was lucky enough to attend. He emphasized
to me that you need to make every line count. |

|
In regards to the comic
above, this is referred to as a universal law of humor. In-Laws already carry
humorous connotations and most sitcoms take advantage of this formula in
their comedy routines. |

|
While on a 2002 Vacation in Tahoe,
my kids were feeding nuts to the squirrels. It was fun to show them a
humorous look at a simple event . |

|
The only
comment I have about the comic above and the comic below is that,
“Humor is in the Eye’s of the Beholder”. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
I learned early in my
career that Humor is a balancing act between funny and offensive. I like
the cartoon below, because it’s simple, philosophical, and hopefully
won’t offend anybody… … except perhaps, the local sheep. |

Everyone in our family is a vegetarian except
me, the cats, and our dog Pretzel, the Shitzu. |

I’m not sure
why, but this is my Son’s favorite cartoon . |

I drew this quick sketch

I will leave you with a few final thoughts and a
link to a great book… |

“Art comes in many forms; We all have unique,
creative abilities and I believe that it’s within the artistic
expression where we discover that we All are incredibly special.”

I have provided a link
to a website (below) by the author Dr. Betty Edwards. The book Drawing on
the Right Side of your Brain had a strong influence on my ability to create.
I also observed many parallels between Dr. Edward’s teachings and our
school class “Career Transitions”. You set your personal
boundaries based on your beliefs, and this includes your creative potential. |

I welcome any
