Taking a Break
Good morning, gentle readers As you probably know, Black Friday and the holiday shopping season, are here. As you also probably know, my day job is a retail sales person. Of course, that’s a bad combination. I won’t have time to do much artwork, let alone blog posts. So, I’m sharing a few pictures from…

Believe it or Not!
Yes, a dog. I’m not known for drawing dogs. But sometimes… This is the dog picture I’m most known for: It’s been a long journey to bring you “Ember and Binkie”. It was a journey on bus to the Midwest, which is not for the feint of heart. I mean the bus ride, not the…

Alfred Hitchcock Strikes Again!
Or maybe it’s Bob Marley’s talking birds saying not to worry. Anyway, birds. Again. We’re into autumn now, soon to take a turn into winter. I will be away for Halloween, visiting and celebrating with a friend in the Midwest. Crows make a great subject for Halloween, and fall in general. And winter, for that…

My Lucky Break
My lucky break that I missed and didn’t take. It could have been just my imagination, nothing of consequence to anybody but me. It may have been nothing of consequence, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway. One of my day jobs was working as a sales associate in the Metropolitan Museum of…

Leaving On a Jet Plane
As I was drawing this, the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane”, kept going through my mind. For those to young to know it, it was written by John Denver, although many other musical artists covered it. Sadly, John Denver died in a small plane crash, in 1997. Maybe not a jet plane, but it…

What do I do, Now?
As I was saying, there’s something in this drawing that catches my imagination. But, now what? I had no idea where to take it. All I knew, is that I didn’t want to set it in New York city. So where then? Rural? Another city? Suburban? All I could come up with were either boring…

I Can’t Get Over A Guy Like You
Well, my “Crow in Summer ” bombed. Sometimes that happens. No, actually that often happens. Sometimes, I can fix it. Sometimes, I can redo it. Sometimes, though, I don’t care of enough to do either. Like now. So, that left me with the task of finding a new idea. Nothing came at me in a…
