  • Something To Crow About

    Something To Crow About

    Although, I’m most fond of cats, as everyone knows, I also love crows. Oops, sorry, my mistake, that’s not a crow. Anyway, while I was browsing through Facebook, a suggestion for a group came up. It was about loving crows and their ilk. Oh, no, that’s not a crow, either. I could redo it as…

  • FAIR DANBURY FAIR

    FAIR DANBURY FAIR

    One of the more fond memories of Danbury, is the state fair that came around every fall. That is, until 1981. Now the fairgrounds is a shopping mall. Still, there is still, a lot of good subject matter here. Why this fuss about Danbury? I’m part of a pop-up that just popped up on Friday…

  • MORE GREEN, PLEASe

    MORE GREEN, PLEASe

    What, might you ask, has the above man strolling down an urban street, have to do with green? Nothing, except, while I was drawing him, my day’s priorities took the sudden turn around. Sometimes, when that happens, that’s a bad sign. This time it is good. How about this? So, why, may you ask, and…

  • BICYCLES is PEOPLE!

    BICYCLES is PEOPLE!

    As are chairs: But, back to bicycles, and the title of this. Boomers will remember an old movie titled “Soylent Green “. Long story short, in a dystopian world, people are given something to eat, called Soylent Green. As it turns out, its made of recycled human remains. Thus, the cry “Soylent Green is People!”…

  • A WEEK IN THE CLOUD

    A WEEK IN THE CLOUD

    The week between Christmas and New Years is a little surreal to me. It’s a regular week, but it’s not, it’s time in limbo. Real, but out of the ordinary, like files in the Cloud. There have been better holiday weeks, than this in 2020. It’s been a rough year, for everyone. People are looking…

  • Here,and there

    Here,and there

    I’m really enjoying doing these little drawings. For now, at least. Less in the way of time, expense and aggravation. Did I mention aggravation? Yes,I guess I did. What keeps going around in my mind.. Are any of these worthy of the time and effort of large versions? So far, I am going to keep…

  • Can’t Complain

    Can’t Complain

    Wouldn’t help anything if I did… So, as I pointed out, I’ve come to a milestone 10 years….I’m not running out of ideas for the blog, but no so much artwork. Here’s a recap of the blog so far: I’ve complained about how dreary winter is: I’ve complained about Autumn being the entry to the…

  • Taking a second look

    Taking a second look

    So,it’s kind of like this…and I am sure that all of you go through this, no matter what you do…. Finding something that you discarded as totally, totally awful, then deciding it’s not so bad. As is the case with this. See,I hated the damn thing so much that I didn’t delicately trim it. Looking…

  • What’s your sign, Babe?

    What’s your sign, Babe?

    For those of you who weren’t around in the 1960’s, or weren’t paying attention, astrology was a big thing.  At parties, in classrooms, on jobs, “What’s your sign?”, was the big question…yeah, pretty lame, but it was a good icebreaker. For those of you who are interested, I’m a Pisces. For those of you who…
