In Context: No Political Comfort From Howard Stern
A page from one of my post-cataract surgery green-lined journals. Brush pen and watercolor.
In Context: Whacky Sketching Mistakes
Sometimes the hand zigs when you want it to zag and something odd, like a dictator’s stare, seems like an intentional message from our subconscious.
In Context: Page from My Green-lined Journal
After my first eye surgery I struggled to get used to the corrections in one eye and living with the fact that the right eye cataract couldn’t be corrected until the next surgery; so what output am I capable of? I also wasn’t able to exercise. So I watched a lot of television. I returned […]
Introspection and Gratitude
Today’s image has nothing to do with Memorial Day. I simply like to post a sketch with each blog post. I have written a post on Memorial Day pretty much every year I’ve had the blog. I think I’ve covered what I need to say about Memorial Day. I have a lot to be grateful […]
The Truth Matters; Freedom of the Press Matters; Vote Today
Today, nothing matters more than getting out to vote. By November 3, 2018 there were literally 6,420 reasons to vote against President Trump.

We Work With What We Have
Left: In the smallest landscape Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook which is about 6 x 4.25 inches—a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen sketch from a photo in the Sktchy app, while waiting in the doctor’s patient room. No new cartridges, just the barest flow of ink…I had to keep trying to move around the face and get in a […]
Remembrance Day: Thoughts in 2014
Above: Video about Shell Shock which emerged during the First World War. If the video doesn't play go to this YouTube link. (And from there you can also see the links to the other three parts.) I spend Remembrance Day in quiet contemplation with the phone off. I think that my November 11, 2010 post […]
