Art Related Posts

Here where I post my art related ramblings and other arty miscellany. Also, I taught art at the college level for 3 years. If I can think of anything slightly educational I will post it here. Otherwise, think of this as my art blog, without all the annoying blogging.

You Can Now Buy My Art on Etsy

Posted on

I’ve been using this Web site as a place to show and sell my art for nearly twenty years. In that time I have sold exactly zero prints. I know I haven’t exactly been P.T.

Scarecrow Contest Entry

Posted on

This weekend the family dragged me to a scarecrow building contest. This is a contest intended to allow kids to be creative and show off their stuff as budding young artists.

Al Gore: Master Debater

Posted on

Well, I just finished watching the first debate of the 2000 election. Here is a doodle I made of Al Gore during the broadcast. All the pundits talk about how great a debater Al is, but I just can’t get past his overplayed emotions and his I’m-talking-to-a-6-year-old delivery. Hey, and has anybody seen his eyebrows!?! […]
