Bearman Cartoon: Bengals Beat Steelers

Sorry for my focus on American Football toons as of late but the Cincinnati Bengals have not beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in eight years. Sunday they finally won and my friends in Pittsburgh deserve a little payback for all the years that they beat on us.

For the uninformed, the Bengal Tiger obviously represents the bengals.  Pittsburgh fans carry en masse a towel that is printed with the words “terrible towel” to games at home and away.   The towel is now synonymous with the Steelers.

Sweet Cherry Beer

Hoping to get a toon out this week but things have been crazy.

Here is another shirt design from the fictional WackSack Brewing Company.

Tutorial: Create Curtain Texture in Photoshop

Because I am the Photoshop wonder kid, George Ford asked in the comments of my Obama & Carter cartoon how I made the background curtain. Whether you are using Photoshop or simply Photoshop Elements like I do, it is a simple 4 step process. There are more in depth tutorials out there but this works for me and most people who just want to allude to the fact that there is a curtain backdrop.

STEP 1.
Create a new layer and fill it with Black. It should look like this…(duh)

STEP 2:
Leave Black as your foreground color and choose a background color that you want your curtain to be. I chose blue. Make sure Black is in Front of the color you chose.

STEP 3:
Click on FILTER > RENDER > FIBERS. You can play with the settings but I used a Variance of 6 and Strength of 4.

STEP 4:
Finally click on FILTER > BLUR > GAUSSIAN BLUR. I set a radius to 5 and tada, you get a curtain.

I look forward to Hank Addanac taking to the stage in the near future.

Word to the Wise

When you join a new gym, they will entice you with a bunch of group classes. There is one called Boot Camp. Word to the wise, it has nothing to do with learning how to prepare your wardrobe for the upcoming winter.

I am in so much pain, it hurts to type.
