    Every So Often, Once in a While

    Sometimes, I get the urge to do something experimental. No, not leaving some poor dog to starve on a gallery floor. Can you believe that? Someone actually did that. My experiments are well within the parameters of my usual style. Sometimes, they’re a success, and sometimes, damn it, they’re dismal failures: The featured picture all…

  • Spinning….!

    Spinning….!

    Here’s a thought. I’m getting behind on my artwork, due to other stuff going on. Still, I felt the need to do something. So, I had this great idea! Okay, maybe not a great idea, but at least an idea. Why not post the drawings of mine that I like. I like, but, for some…

  • Double Talk

    Double Talk

    I’ve been missing for a while, I realize. And here it is September Just for that, here’s a September drawing. However I have been busy with non art projects. I’ve been putting up a new website, which also features…a blog! So far, it’s only ipsum lorem stuff. Also, moving. Have quit my day job. One…

  • Let’s Make That Plane

    Let’s Make That Plane

    Ok, yes, a pun. Sometimes I just run out of imagination for these titles. So, I’ve been doing my small drawings, and I got stuck on the subject of small aircraft. The story is this: I was working on a drawing of clouds, which turned out horribly. But, as with small aircraft, I got stuck…

  • Well, Dang!

    Well, Dang!

    Remember this truck? I’ll bet you do, I think it was only the last post. Anyway, the point being, was that I was raving and hollering about how there was a recession coming up and I was only going to do small, inexpensive drawings. And then it happened……. Nothing. No ideas came to me for…

  • I’m Being Haunted

    I’m Being Haunted

    I’m out again, looking for shows to enter and galleries to represent me. I’m wiser this time, and I have lost my fear of rejection, but still, it’s tiring. One gallery director keeps wanting me to do something different than what I do. Maybe should just tell me she doesn’t like my style? I’ve given…

  • The Sky’s the Limit

    The Sky’s the Limit

    I think I came to the idea that I’m much more interested in abstract with a few representational aspects. I also think I’ve come to the idea for the drawing for “Art in Action”. As promised, it has a cat. And, it’s my plan to fill in the sky. Skies are great for abstraction. As…

  • IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……

    IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……

    One day,, two little abstracts later, and I’m already bored. I remember an art class in 5th grade. We were given a lot of sticks, told to drop the sticks anywhere the cardboard we were given, have fun don’t make anything. While the other students were making abstracts worthy of Jackson Pollack, I decided to…

  • What to do if You’re Stranded in Space

    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…
