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 […]

Shakin’ It Up
Thought I’d try something different for a change. I know, I know, I often say I’m going to change my artwork, do one different picture, then back to the same old stuff. So, I’m just going to, as I wrote, try. So, I finally did do a version of the small airplane that I like. […]

Work It!
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 […]

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 […]

There’s Something Strange Going On Around Here
Ok, as is not unusual for me, I’m dealing with an on and off depression. Definitely prefer the times when the depression is off, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing things when the depression is on. As in artwork. I used to swear not too do it, but this time, I was halfway through […]

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 […]
