  • Monday Morning coming down…

    Happy New Week, my friends Here’s the sketch for this picture that I don’t have a title for yet.  You can get an idea of the whole lost and found lines and color blocks.  I may get a chance to work on the large version today, but like most people….today I go to my day…

  • But if I May Repeat Myself….

    Coupla things….. I went fulltime at my day job.  The idea was to have income while I worked on my art, and advanced my career.  As it turns out, the less spare time I have,the more I value it, the more I get things done. So, welcome me to the rat race my friends.. Also,…

  • Sunnyside is not so sunny

    Couldn’t live without the man I love, so I moved back in.  I live in a community called Sunnyside in Queens, NY.  A lot of the pictures I drew were objects in this little community. But to my dismay, they’ve wrecked some of them.  Remember “My Brain off Drugs”?     The whole park, playground and…

  • Sometimes, never happens

    I look back on some of my old work: “Companions”, “Autumn Song” and others, and I’m reminded of the relationship that I thought would never end. But both he and I are no longer the people we were at the beginning. My art and relating it to contributing to the world are foremost for me,…

  • As Monty Python would say…..

    Now for something completely different… I’m getting ready for “Pony Rides for a Purpose”, and so is a friend.  My good friend will be trying out a walk-around puppet stage.  And I give you three guesses as to who painted the scenery for it.    You only needed one?  Wow! So,  here it is.  The light…

  • Time to Crawl Back into the Hole…

    Finished.  Well before the deadline.  Now I have some time between this and the canvas for Aidan has a Posse, to do something for myself.  The idea of a singer which appealed to me originally, is not clicking, now.  Kwan Yin?   Maybe….. Anyway, the finish of “Winged Foal” for Pony Rides for a Purpose.

  • Just Another Block in the Wall

    My apologies to Pink Flloyd. Artist block is a real thing that happens every so often.  I’ve been asked before how I get through it.  I’ve shown you a couple of the abstracts  I did to loosen up, and that’s one way I deal with it. Another is just to draw anything, it doesn’t matter. …

  • No Time like the Present

    I think I’ve accomplished enough on “Winged Foal” to show where it’s going.  I can tell I’m going to have to make the color of the horse a little more intense, as well as blending in the bottom of the background.  So, in all it’s glory (so far), “Winged Foal”   (Grammar police note: I…

  • Oh, the AGONY…..

    “Winged Foal” is coming along agonizingly slow.  It could be because I picked up a heavy, cast iron pan with my right hand alone.  Managed to do something to my wrist and hand.   They’re sort of numb, now, making it hard to grasp a pencil.  So, enough complaining. Here’s another abstract from my long lost…
