Due to seasonal merriment, and a trip back and forth from the airport, I haven’t had any time to do anything substantial work-wise. So instead here’s a proof-of-life selfie! See you around tomorrow! #artist #artstudio #pnwartist

A merry solstice to all who observe, and my thanks to all of you for following this runaway attempt to document my work. I appreciate it! Anyway, here’s some #sketchbook work from this morning. See you around! #art #artsky #artist #drawing

Almost went with a Beckmann piece, but I have to stick with my guy, Munch, and his 1923 self-portrait “The Night Wanderer.”

All the Pantone news reminded me of this classic Ken Nordine track from his 1966 album “Colors.”
