“I was taking down the show in Escondido; no big deal show’s over. Then I met Joe Nalven, who just happens to write the San Diego Union-Tribune art blog. Read this. Thank you Joe Nalven.”

“I went to New York to attend the artist’s reception for the 20th National Juried Exhibition hosted by the Bowery Gallery. It was fun! And my name appears first on the list of art. No; I didn’t win an award, but was first due to hanging location.”

“San Francisco was awesome!
My first reading in SF was at at Viracocha, hosted by The Word Party featuring a jazz band(sax, bass, percussion) backing the poets. The hostess made a comment during the intro about poets and sex poems. I was the 10th of maybe 30 poets and the place was packed. Great place [...]

” The Alternative Press Expo (APE) is my favorite event to vend. They sell beer and cocktails at the thing! Plus most of the vendors I have met and become friends with so it’s good to see them. I have learned a lot from them about presenting your work and how to sell in the [...]

“This was inspired by several flights to St. Louis dealing with family health and deaths. Those flights were a big reason for the recent road trip. A series of sketches were the result of viewing the earth repeatedly from altitude. “Earth” series at 40″ x 30″ each, will be my largest works to date.”

“Earth” in [...]

“I didn’t realize that I have been a member of West Coast Drawing(previously San Diego Drawing Group) for seven years. We do a group exhibition once a year on average and this one is awesome.

“This was the first time I completed a piece of art but was unable to see the final results first. Even my framer who constructed the back supports didn’t have a wall with a ceiling high enough to assemble the art. ‘Race Track’ is 9 feet tall!
Intimate Views is installed and open to the public [...]

“What a furious pace to the finish. I will need some distance and time to tell if this is as strong a piece that I feel it is. Showed it to my drawing group and my framer. That’s right, it’s already at the framer. Thinking of entering it in the Southern California Regional Juried Award [...]
