Venice Beach Boardwalk 1995

This is a scratchboard drawing I did from life back in the day. I used to sit and watch the world go by. The boardwalk was the place to be. It was very entertaining. If I can ever get my act together, I’ll put these sketches into a little book.

Make a tree, why not

Here are some trees I drew. Just doodles actually. Nothing serious here but once in a while it’s just fun to play.

It’s interesting to find out how what you draw is a reflection of whatever mood you’re in. The next thing to play with is to learn how to animate the trees. Let’s see, I could animate some fruit falling from trees, or animals in the trees: dancing, falling down, playing hide and seek.

Overwhelming tmi

Too much information is not good for the creative mind. It blocks, it mocks, it kills free thought. Here is a new work in the making… Lost love teenager in Paris.

New Things to Come

My star mandalas are sometimes called “sunfaces”. I love drawing and painting them in watercolor. Each one is hand drawn without a computer. Some people regard the mandala as an art form that grows from the center out. I started drawing this series around 2015. Those times were super hard and drawing got me through that very rough period. I’m working on a publication to put the sunfaces together so people can read them as one idea.
