Dragons, margaritas, a toad and a garden
Progress was made this week on my “How To Draw A Dragon” childrens book project. Here’s what my studio looks like when success happens. Yes, doesn’t that look a whole lot like what my studio looked like in my last post and the post before that? Being creative is like cooking – you get one…

My wife’s garden has at least 100 strawberry plants in it. They currently are in bloom. My favorite dessert is strawberries and shortcake. I only have this dessert in the summer on account of trying to be sensible. Nonetheless I’ve been anticipating “strawberry season” and making new artwork about it. I chose a Bassett Hound…

Lettuce Peas
Was contacted this morning by one of my gallery owners, Barney, of Downtown Art & Frame, in Oklahoma to tell me that my work “Lettuce Peas” had sold! This work was a highly experimental piece, different from the “typical” work I do. For this project I worked with Judy Sullens, a writer, and created this words+art piece…
