    Day is Done

    It seems to be a new thing with me. I get tired, brain fried, and that seems to be the time I decide to write a blog post. Take from that what you will. This time I am reasonably well rested. The subject was trees,wasn’t it? Well,this is the newest one. It’s the complete version…

  • More Trees, Please!

    More Trees, Please!

    Looking back on the final version of “Reserved”, I am disappointed. I had such high hopes for it. It may end up in my New Years “worst “. Live and,with any luck at all, learn But! I did a drawing today, which might work large. It’s bold enough with a good solid design. This is…

    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…

    Full moon in the afternoon

    And that rhymes! Here’s my latest. Sometimes, coming up with a title is the hardest part of a drawing. I suppose I could go the way of “Untitled 1”, “Untitled 2″and so on. But what fun is that? Most of my titles are pretty dull and boring, when I think about it. Here are some…
