Kind of a Drag….
No! Not that kind of drag. It’s a drag trying to draw with a brace on your right hand. I can’t do the subtleties I’m used to. It’s all coming out a lot sketchier than I like. It looks like a good style of loose drawing, but it’s not mine. However, in time, I shall…

Hit the Road, Rox…..
I’m really looking forward to Spring. I probably said that last year, and the year before…..but it bears repeating. C’mon Spring. I thought about it and I miss doing art fairs. I managed to score a white tent on Ebay, and as time goes on find creatively inexpensive display items. i finally found a…

Not for Sale
My wrist is getting better, and I am savoring (More like salivating over) the prospect doing artwork again. Yes, in a little more than a week, my cast will be off. A little physical therapy, and I’ll be good to go. After that announcement, I want to know…are you tired of blogs (including mine), trying…

I, Me, Mine
The portrait above is me, a few years back. I’m not really into doing self portraits. Why would I want to do that, when there are so many more interesting and beautiful subjects to be drawn?

Starting All Over, Again, Again
Can You Draw a Bicycle? I thought this article was pretty amusing. Of course, drawing from imagination is a challenge.

So partially, it’s my lack of physical stability that’s making me work so small. Also, having the long, tired out, idea that small pictures would sell…

Bricks
A little background info…. I’ve been away for a while, in case you haven’t noticed. I needed some time to reflect, think about where I’ve been, where I’m going and most importantly, where I am. And it all comes down to bricks…well, sort of. When I first really got going working in colored pencil, I…

An Idea that Didn’t Make the Cut
Or if you’d rather..an idea that crashed and burned. It was to be entitled, “One Person’s Trash”. I saw it sitting, discarded, by the side of the road. I found it to be cute and interesting. Obviously, someone”s daughter outgrew it. So far, so good. But then I started thinking about that little girl,…

I Wanted to Sell Out!
But no one was buying. (Warning: Bad art displayed, here) I always wanted to make a living with my art. At first, I wanted to design posters. I assumed that if a subject appealed to me, then it would appeal to other people. However, I think most artists create with that in mind. I’ve been…
