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…

Making Progress
It’s Imbolc for Pagans, and Groundhog day for the rest. It’s the day that early signs of spring are celebrated..the beginning of the end of the long winter. My cast is off, and I’m on to physical therapy. I can nearly write, which means I can nearly draw. I’m typing normally again, in other words…badly.…

Get Out the Tanning Butter!
The title happens to be from the song “Rock Lobster”, by the B-52s. Strangely enough, that happens to be Our Song. Yes, that’s the romantic tune to which my partner and I bonded, on our first date. Most importantly, it was the Labor Day weekend, the last of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Ah,…

Happy End of the Holidays!

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…

Start with what you know….
Summer and spring are almost too pretty to come up with something interesting and moody.

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…

All in a Day’s Work
I’m kind of struggling here. I’m trying to catch the excitement that I had for the artwork I did in New York, but have yet to capture in Connecticut. Most of my work here, has come out boringly representational. I kind of realize the elements I’m missing… I did put human objects as subject matter,…
