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…

This is not my Photograph
Fabulous Photo I found this on Google Earth, and it’s credited to Jan Prosek. I’ve been trying to seek out a website or a link to his work, to give him proper credit. It’s fantastic. I have artist envy. I also wish I could find a way to paste the image in, rather just link…

Happy End of the Holidays!
Okay, finally….life is back to normal. I have a little ritual in winter, as the days grow longer. First off is Yule, then Christmas, New Years, and then January 2nd. Here’s the drawing that I made in celebration of t hat celebration. The ritual includes such things as The Superbowl, and Mardi Gras. And of…

The Devil is in the Details
My father was a detail man. He was a commercial artist, and his specialty was filling in the designs on the fabric of shirts, pants, diamonds, and just about anything else that was advertised. I can’t imagine how he had the patience to do such a thing, but, perhaps it’s just that it was income,…

Looking at the Bigger Picture
The picture above started with a small sketch. As you can see, the lines are messier, and the detail unclear. That’s what the problem with working small is. 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…
