I have always loved the scene from MOTU where Prince Adam transforms into He-Man, so I finally decided to draw it.
Started this picture over a month ago and kept forgetting about it, but I’m glad I finally finished it.
Tried to combine all the different elements of the cartoon and toy for the interior of Castle Grayskull.
I have always love Scooby-Doo cartoons and every time I hear the song Runnin’ Down A Dream by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers all I think about is the Scooby Gang traveling around the country solving mysteries.
Sketched and inked this a while back and forgot to post it on the website. I really love this new design for She-Ra for the new Netflix series. The art style looks really cool and I will definitely be checking it out.
Last year I had a hell of a lot of rhubarb so I made an equal hell of a lot of wine.
First up!
Rhubarb Strawberry Wine
Started 6/4/17
Ingredients
2 lbs rhubarb
1 lbs Strawberries
1 gallon water
1 tsp yeast nutrient
.75 tsp pectic enzyme
Rhubarb Wine
3 lbs rhubarb
1 gallon water
1 tsp yeast nutrient
.75 tsp pectic enzyme
Boiled water adding sugar and rhubarb (strawberries) for about 45 minutes or so. After the boil, I lined my 2.5 gallon Mr. Beer barrel with mesh straining bag and put the pot into the ice bath to bring down temperature before poured its contents into the plastic barrel. I tied the bag of fruit and covered the barrel so no fruitflies would get in and let it cool before adding the yeast. Then it’s off to a dark corner of my office for a week or so. Like last time when I did this recipe I boiled the fruits to kill off unwanted yeast and bacteria but now I use campden tablets.
Secondary Fermentation 6/11/17
Bottled 8/26/17
Added 3 tsp sugar per gallon, also added stabilizer.
This made a really sweet but delicious wine.
For those who read this I omitted some of the more boring details, but if you are looking for step by step of wine make check out the millions of videos on YouTube, that’s how I learned. Good luck and have fun!
Update 7/22/18
Just popped open a bottle of Rhubarb Wine and the sugary taste has really mellowed out giving it a nice even flavor.
I would check happily check the flavor of the Rhubarb Strawberry Wine but that was gone months ago.
