from the coffee table book
I’ve been working towards an upcoming fine art exhibit at Caplan Art Designs; writing an exhibit statement, compiling an inventory list, writing promo materials. You’d be amazed at how much writing there is in this “visual” art field. I also have to write a speech to give during the opening reception. One of the things…

“Lighting someone else’s candle won’t make yours any less bright” – Dr. Bob Hoke Being artistically inspired is not a once-and-done thing: I always need fresh inspirations, a new sense of awe, a new way of looking at something.

from the Coffee Table
Here’s a couple of pages from “Coffee, Table, Book“. I’m posting them because I’ve been doing several fine art exhibits via Caplan Art Designs (www.caplanartdesigns.com) and when people view my artwork they ask me questions like “Why animal subject matter?” and “Where do you get your ideas?” – so I made my “Coffee, Table, Book”…

Then what “works”…

Here is a pdf file – DrBobFirstAidKitSampler – a sampler of a few graphic-novel pages from a book I illustrated titled “Dr. Bob’s Emotional Repair Program First Aid Kit” – in this book I collected the stories and ideas expressed by psychiatrist Dr. Bob Hoke who recently passed away.

When I exhibit my artwork (as I did recently at the Caplan Art Designs gallery www.caplanartdesigns.com) I try to explain how my life inpires my artwork. Being more “visual” rather than verbal it’s easier for me to talk about this via pictures: as I go through life I draw and write in a sketchbook. Like…

coffee, table, book
I’ve been working on an ebook titled “Coffee, Table, Book”. This book directly relates to my upcoming exhibit at Caplan Art Designs www.caplanartdesigns.com (opening May 7th!) but it’s also about my artwork in general – and very much like the pages I’ve been posting here on this blog. Here’s what the cover looks like: It’s an…
