Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends
Well the story goes like this. I’ve been having a string of sleepless nights, and then, I realized one night it was dark. I hadn’t been really conscious of it, but with the thinning of the veil, the approach of Halloween, or Samhain as I observe, it really sank in. The darkness. So, this is […]

Well, That Went Over Like a Lead Balloon
As you may recall, I was going to start another blog on my new gallery site, and leave this one in the dust. It just wasn’t a great design for a blog, I couldn’t add pictures, and I’ve got all of you over here already enjoying what I write. So, for my gallery site, go […]

Still working out this art show thing. I’m playing around with different ideas, and one of the ideas is, yes……a dog. German Shepherd to be exact. Forgive the sketchiness, but after all , it is a sketch. My sketches never seem to look as good online as they do in person. But a dog is […]

When I used to visit New […]

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 […]

Leaving On a Jet Plane
As I was drawing this, the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane”, kept going through my mind. For those to young to know it, it was written by John Denver, although many other musical artists covered it. Sadly, John Denver died in a small plane crash, in 1997. Maybe not a jet plane, but it […]
