What A Card!
I’ve always wondered where the term card came from, to describe a witty person. No, I haven’t always wondered that, but it was a good excuse to hop on Google. Evidently, the first use of the term in literature was from Dickens, I think it said 1863. But I’m talking about notecards, greeting cards and…

IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……
One day,, two little abstracts later, and I’m already bored. I remember an art class in 5th grade. We were given a lot of sticks, told to drop the sticks anywhere the cardboard we were given, have fun don’t make anything. While the other students were making abstracts worthy of Jackson Pollack, I decided to…

Taking a second look
So,it’s kind of like this…and I am sure that all of you go through this, no matter what you do…. Finding something that you discarded as totally, totally awful, then deciding it’s not so bad. As is the case with this. See,I hated the damn thing so much that I didn’t delicately trim it. Looking…

Looking at the Smaller Picture…
Without working in the retail Christmas rush, I have gotten past the rush. Now, New Year’s is on the horizon, and then that expanse of time known as winter. Last year, I spent winter exploring the new landscape around me, a suburban, not New York City surrounding. Nothing much has changed in this new area…

Deep, Dark, and Dreary.
This past winter, I didn’t really complete much in the way of artwork. I doodled and experimented, which was important to do, but I only did one completed piece. Most of the time, I passed the dark winter watching YouTube music videos. Could have been worse. I did complete one, which I decided I didn’t…
