This is from my earliest days in Seattle, or possibly just before I got there.      My guitar was a present from my Dad and my sister on my 20th birthday. I had been learning a few basic chords and a handful of songs on a crappy guitar I found in my parents’ attic, and I sensed […]

This is me and Jen exploring a creek in southeastern Ohio, a memory that I’m no longer quite sure I remember…  I have […]

I drew the pictures  in my small apartment while listening to John Coltrane […]

      This is one of a series of postcards I made in 1992. Whenever I backpacked into wilderness areas, I enjoyed  the beauty of the wilderness around me. I was occasionally oblivious to potential  dangers, such as trespassing into bear territory.         My niece has this postcard hanging on her wall.

      This is a sketch in ink and colored pencils I drew in 1993 for a book I self-published, Double Tall Latte, Please. The book is written with silly illustrations and Dr. Suess-style rhymes about where one might drink espresso: “Drink it in the morning rain, drink it in the carpool lane.”       I sent […]

     This is an excerpt from Existential Fish: Auggie and Delphina are among my favorite characters in Episode Two of the “Neener Neener” cartoons. The toad that Delphina presents to Auggie (named Charles) becomes a major character as the story progresses.    As of today, Existential Fish is available in local bookstores in Athens, Ohio. It is […]
