I Miss New York! Well, Not Exactly….
I actually miss Manhattan. Unfortunately, there was no magic way to teleport from Queens to Manhattan, and vice versa, so I was stuck, along with millions of others…with the subway. I’ve seen some beautiful artwork romanticizing the subway, but it’s not a romantic memory to me. But yes, I do miss Manhattan. It’s the part…

Going Gold
It’s getting close to Labor Day. Already, the trees around here are showing some touches of orange and gold. I’m looking forward to cooler weather, and the autumn colors. Yes, even I get tired of summer. The last few drawing I’ve done have been green. I’m getting a little bored, and want to shake it…

A Stroll in the Old Neighborhood…
Here I am, being nostalgic again. As we were packing the car with a load of *stuff* to take to the new place, I saw my landlord’s chair, against the stone wall. He’s had it there all the years we lived there, probably many years before, and now…. It got me thinking of how the…

It’s a Secret
I bet you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been posting. Well, no, not really, I expect you all have lives other than reading my blog. But the truth is I haven’t posted for a while…and there’s a good reason. I’m working on a drawing, but it’s a secret. Why keep it a secret? In some…

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,…

The Meaning of Life is Rain Puddles
Okay, now that I’ve got your attention….. Here’s an update on “Tiger in the Jungle”. It’s coming out lower key than I intended, but I expect when I go over it with the blender, it will pop. Also, I’m at a very tedious point, the background. It would be good to listen to my iPod…

Breaking the Rules
Sometimes, in both life and in art, you have to say “screw it” to all the rules you know. Actually, I can’t think of a good example of life, at the moment, but I’m sure others have. I have always relied on a limited palette to hold together a composition. Then I was faced with…
