Blackout !
“I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway, I’ve seen the Empire State laid low.” – Billy Joel Right now, Rose Garden is going slowly. It’s through no fault of my own, but pet owners will understand. Pumpkin has taken up a new sleeping spot, right behind my easel. It’s a choice between letting…

A Rose by Any Other Name
Still looks good in a picture with a cat. Okay, enough about cats. Do I hear a collective sigh of relief? I’ve been working on Rose Garden. I was working on the first version while tired and sick, and it came out awful. Put it away to look at later, maybe it would look…

After My Tirade About Dogs
Why am I suddenly drawing so many bicycles? Is it some kind of Freudian thing? So, there have been two recent drawing of bicycles. The last drawing I made, and this one: Is it a wish fulfillment of my unfinished application to the Rhode Island School of Design? As I think I mentioned, part of…

SICK AS A ????!!!!!
I spent the week after the festival, sick as a dog with a respiratory flu. But let’s back it up a bit….sick as a dog? Where did that come from? Why does a dog become a simile for illness? Why such a desultory description of such a kind, benign, helpful creature? I did a swift…
