    What to do if You’re Stranded in Space

    Near the Creative Black Hole, naturally. I’ve got a couple of strategies for getting through inspiration less time. One is, don’t forget your sense of humor…do something crazy and fun that you wouldn’t otherwise. And/or……go back to an old idea that you haven’t been able to quite get right. When I used to visit New…

  • Changing Direction….What, Again?

    Changing Direction….What, Again?

    Well, it’s 9:30 EST on Sunday night, I’m tired, so it’s the perfect time to write a blog post. It seems my most jumbled thoughts come pouring out of my brain…I can never know what…and that’s what’s entertaining. However, the title of this takes a bit of explanation. I was taking a course on goal…

    January 9, Midmorning

    Finally the holiday decorations are disappearing. They’re gone from the mall, they’re gone from Main Street. In fact, the only place that still has Christmas lights left, is the house of our neighbor across the street. He’ll take then down around Valentines day. I suppose that’s not a really big thing to complain about, but…

    Father and Child

    Happy January 2nd! As some of you know,, I observe this day, by not celebrating. It’s the first day after the damned holiday season. I enjoy the peace and quiet. May you, too. Buh Bye! But the serious point of this blog’s post is “Father and Child”. There have been a lot of mother and…

    Alfred Hitchcock Strikes Again!

    Or maybe it’s Bob Marley’s talking birds saying not to worry. Anyway, birds. Again. We’re into autumn now, soon to take a turn into winter. I will be away for Halloween, visiting and celebrating with a friend in the Midwest. Crows make a great subject for Halloween, and fall in general. And winter, for that…

    UGLY

    I’ve spent years coming up with ideas to interpret beauty. Thing is, I’m running out of ideas. Which brings me back to something that happened years and years ago. No, actually decades. but we won’t talk about that. I was staying with an artist, who I considered to be a mentor. Considered? She actually was…

    Pending…

    Hi! Just I’d say hi. I’m behind on my artwork. I have an idea, but it’s turning out to be complicated …even the preliminary sketch is labor intensive. This is just to let you know I’m still here. A lot going on in my life, right now. Including a new day job. That’s six, count…

  • What do I do, Now?

    What do I do, Now?

    As I was saying, there’s something in this drawing that catches my imagination. But, now what? I had no idea where to take it. All I knew, is that I didn’t want to set it in New York city. So where then? Rural? Another city? Suburban? All I could come up with were either boring…

    I Can’t Get Over A Guy Like You

    Well, my “Crow in Summer ” bombed. Sometimes that happens. No, actually that often happens. Sometimes, I can fix it. Sometimes, I can redo it. Sometimes, though, I don’t care of enough to do either. Like now. So, that left me with the task of finding a new idea. Nothing came at me in a…
