  • Monday Morning coming down…

    Happy New Week, my friends Here’s the sketch for this picture that I don’t have a title for yet.  You can get an idea of the whole lost and found lines and color blocks.  I may get a chance to work on the large version today, but like most people….today I go to my day…

  • But if I May Repeat Myself….

    Coupla things….. I went fulltime at my day job.  The idea was to have income while I worked on my art, and advanced my career.  As it turns out, the less spare time I have,the more I value it, the more I get things done. So, welcome me to the rat race my friends.. Also,…

  • Sunnyside is not so sunny

    Couldn’t live without the man I love, so I moved back in.  I live in a community called Sunnyside in Queens, NY.  A lot of the pictures I drew were objects in this little community. But to my dismay, they’ve wrecked some of them.  Remember “My Brain off Drugs”?     The whole park, playground and…

  • Sometimes, never happens

    I look back on some of my old work: “Companions”, “Autumn Song” and others, and I’m reminded of the relationship that I thought would never end. But both he and I are no longer the people we were at the beginning. My art and relating it to contributing to the world are foremost for me,…

  • Time to Crawl Back into the Hole…

    Finished.  Well before the deadline.  Now I have some time between this and the canvas for Aidan has a Posse, to do something for myself.  The idea of a singer which appealed to me originally, is not clicking, now.  Kwan Yin?   Maybe….. Anyway, the finish of “Winged Foal” for Pony Rides for a Purpose.

  • Just Another Block in the Wall

    My apologies to Pink Flloyd. Artist block is a real thing that happens every so often.  I’ve been asked before how I get through it.  I’ve shown you a couple of the abstracts  I did to loosen up, and that’s one way I deal with it. Another is just to draw anything, it doesn’t matter. …

  • Oh, the AGONY…..

    “Winged Foal” is coming along agonizingly slow.  It could be because I picked up a heavy, cast iron pan with my right hand alone.  Managed to do something to my wrist and hand.   They’re sort of numb, now, making it hard to grasp a pencil.  So, enough complaining. Here’s another abstract from my long lost…

  • Last August….Redux

    I’m working on the project for the college students.  Right now, the winged foal is on hold.  And the date for the Artisan Market is fast approaching. Not sure if I’m going  to get the date of April 6th off at this point.  The day job, the day job, that damn…..schedule difficulties at this point. …

  • Work in Progress, and Important Things I have learned…..

    Working on the winged horse….here’s where it stands now. Important things I have learned from this project: 1. Horses are fun to draw 2. Butterfly wings are boring to draw. 3. Never work on a drawing when you think you might still have cake on the side of your hand.   Fortunately, the cake is…
