KING TUT: Original Clip Art by Stogie Using Adobe Illustrator

The Death Mask of King Tutankhamen.  

This one took me a while, several hours over several days.  It took my mind off the Democrat Fraudulent Election.

When Howard Carter opened King Tut's sarcophagus in 1923, he found a wreath of dried flowers placed on the forehead of Tut's burial mask.  Flowers that were placed there by his grieving widow 3,000 years before.  

Update:  I improved the beard, made it lighter in color and braided, like the original death mask.

EGYPT - Original Clip Art by Stogie (That's Me)

I created this clip art just for fun.  I used Photoshop to add the brick texture but everything else is from Adobe Illustrator.

The more I make the better I will get, theoretically.  You learn by doing. 

The Cold Gray Dawn of a New Year

The morning of a new year never seems cheerful or hopeful or optimistic.  Not for me, anyway.

It's cold, the sky is gray and overcast.  How will I spend the first day of 2021?

I will work on graphics.  I want to create my second clip art creation.  What shall it be?  Happy New year?  Nah, overdone.  Blogging?  Maybe.   

Update:  Okay, here's an ankh.  It is an ancient Egyptian symbol associated with King Tut.  It is the symbol of life.  It looks a bit like a Christian cross, but it is not.  In the 1960s hippies wore them around their necks.  It wasn't difficult to make it in Illustrator.  Decided to start off with something easy.

UPDATE:  I flared the arms and foot a bit to look more like an actual ankh.
