Everyone Loves....a good book!

I'll own it: refer me to a book that you LOVE and I'm in....unless of course, it involves bone-crushing pain (most Oprah Book Club choices) or violence towards anyone, especially animals...and then there are the PICTURE books. Still a sucker... Continue reading

As many of my Face Book and Instagram friends know, I've been dipping into my sketchbooks and transforming some drawings into stickers. Yup, they're cool again, but these aren't your mama's kitty cat stickers. They're way cooler and used in... Continue reading

Tall Tales yield Tall Fruit

Not long ago, I found myself on the road to Kansas City. Suffice to say, it wasn't a pleasure trip, but a mission. The high point (besides hugging family) was a visit with my friend Carol. You know Carol, right?... Continue reading

I'm more than happy with your fabulous drawings! I'll be using one on my Colorado Drivers License... They're WAY better than the photograph. As soon as I shake off the road dust, I'll return the favor. My time with you was the best part of my trip. Draw onward my Talented Friend. P.S. YOUR bone structure is better.

David is my Teacher, he just doesn't know it

I adore David Gentleman. He's a designer of the highest caliber. He's designed for centuries and anyone who studies the Graphic Arts will know him. If not, they've gone to a very bad school - just kidding, but seriously, he's... Continue reading
