    Selling in

    Bummerooni? Is there such a word? Of course, the root of this word is “bummer “. I think it originated with the description of a bad LSD trip. Somehow, the term “bummer ” has survived. I suppose there is nothing that is quite as accurately descriptive. So,something I consider a bummer in my life, was…

  • Can’t Complain

    Can’t Complain

    Wouldn’t help anything if I did… So, as I pointed out, I’ve come to a milestone 10 years….I’m not running out of ideas for the blog, but no so much artwork. Here’s a recap of the blog so far: I’ve complained about how dreary winter is: I’ve complained about Autumn being the entry to the…

  • Back to back

    Back to back

    As I went to renew my plan for this blog, I was reminded that I started this blog in 2010. How the hell did that happen? I do remember some early years of ranting against the unfairness of the art world. Where the hell was I in 2010? New York city, of course, living the…

  • Taking a second look

    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…

  • What’s your sign, Babe?

    What’s your sign, Babe?

    For those of you who weren’t around in the 1960’s, or weren’t paying attention, astrology was a big thing.  At parties, in classrooms, on jobs, “What’s your sign?”, was the big question…yeah, pretty lame, but it was a good icebreaker. For those of you who are interested, I’m a Pisces. For those of you who…

    Next Episode……….Same time, same place

    When we last left Roxanne, she was in turmoil as to what to do next………..then she took a nap, had some coffee, and watched an old episode of “WKRP in Cincinnati” on YouTube.  Her mind was cleared with an ethereal sense of purpose.  “I’ve got it!” She cried. In the meantime, getting back to here…

  • Buzzing

    Buzzing

    Ever have one of those damn bugs, buzzing around your head in a threatening manner?  You don’t know whether to swat and kill the damn thing, or steadfastly ignore it.  Ideas in art can be the same way. The drawing I’m referring to is based on this photo:   Trust me.  It was a lot…

  • The Bronx is up……….

    The Bronx is up……….

    Yes, I promised birds…………BUT. I changed my mind again. I found the files of old work, which was this woman’s treasure.  There’s a lot of stuff that I don’t think I put on this blog…was on my old Blogger Blog that still exists somewhere in the vast Universe of the internet, probably.  Maybe not, and…

  • Okay, Boomer…

    Okay, Boomer…

    Yes, I’m a boomer, for good or bad….actually it’s a bit of both.  Why? you may ask. Whether you ask why or not, I’m going to tell you, or give you an example. When, I was first learning to compose pictures, my mother would teach me to check the drawings out in the mirror.  That…
