more cats book progress
I’d written recently here about my progress towards making a 22 page full color book of my cat themed artwork. Well, I’ve gotten my “proof copy” in the snail-mail, showed it to Hawkeye my studio supervisor cat – and my wife, a cat-lover – and all of us approved of the print quality! Even Rusty,…

off the coffee table
Woke up today thinking about waiters, restaurants and cafe’s. So I’m looking back through my sketchbooks for drawings of waiters…. and thinking about designs for new fine art work.

Then we discussed installation and other nitty-gritty details. The next day I started varnishing the finished (and approved! yippeee!) artwork! The organization will do publicity…

my interactive art exhibit experiment
Some time ago I observed that when people visit art galleries or art museums they often have one hand on their smart phone or tablet. While at a gallery or museum people collect brochures, booklets, books and “artist monographs”. They sit and read the booklets and look things up on their phones. They lean in…

Here is a free sampler, a downloadable pdf file titled Coffee Table Preview containing a few pages from my Coffee Table Book a 36 page eBook which…

art books; reviews and previews
Since I often get asked for suggestions of “good books about art” I’ve decided to start reviewing books about various aspects of art on Goodreads.com now and again. The photo is of one of my favorite “go to” books that I recently reviewed. I may review cookbooks too as I think knowing how to cook…
