Working Artist

Setting up the database is not my favorite thing to do in the studio obviously, but it is what I have been spending most of my time on for over a week, maybe that’s why I look so glum in the shot above! It was a thrill to actually put the database to good [...]

opposing the orphan works legislation

Calling all artists and everyone interested in protecting copyrights. It’s time to let your elected officials know that copyrights are to be honored and protected. I have just finished my letters and thought I’d pass on to you all this helpful posting from a concerned artist member of a group in which I marginally participate. [...]

a day off looks like this

I’ll post again to [...]

Appletini print ready to roll

I’m pleased with the mellow feel of the background and the looseness of the text and I am ready to get these printed and packaged for sale. I’ve also been working on a wilder design based on the same painting and I’ll post that later. The first prints will go on sale this Friday night [...]

my new love

If I knew how to add music to this, you would be hearing Kate Bush vi-o-lin vi-o-lin…
I am on intimate terms with my violin now and she is at last singing to me. Not that I’m performance ready, but it sure feels good to get to know the instrument and interesting how sensitive it is [...]
