Finished commission from the Beverly Hills Art Show. They loved it so much they just gave me a referral. This is Oatie...

Starting a new piece. Making sure the buyer likes each one before moving on.

After a period of reluctance I’m starting to accept interviews in written or casual over-the-phone/in-person format. Not doing podcasts, videos, live speaking yet. 😅 I know I am taking things slow and I appreciate people’s patience and flexibility! This is new territory for me.

Celebrating another in-person show. Good to be "in"... good to get "out"...

Finally drew the other boy... my granddog, Geno. ... I was quietly working on a commission project so didn't have time or the right to post. It feels good to be back starting my beloved animals... especially this one.

Better than 14,147...

My new tradition will be drawing a wolf as the first wild animal of the year. This is in honor of the wolf that was the very first drawing I made using ballpoint pen in 2018.

Sleep Tight 3 yrs ago I drew a mother chimp & her baby. It stirred something in me and I began my journey of drawing parent and child. I was more exact then. I've since developed a loose style & keep the pen to the paper, taking breaks only on occasion. Not bad for 1 hr. work.

Gunther. Memorial commission for a life welled lived. Ballpoint pen on paper.

Molly. Commission. From a Christmas Gift Certificate. Waiting to hear if the client likes it.

Celebrating the Year of the Tiger. Gong Xi Fa Cai. Ballpoint Pen on Paper.

I made this portrait P!nk and her dog Elvis in 2019 because her songs got me thru a rough 2018. Word spread close, but not to her, so I still have it. What about love, indeed.

3 commissions are done and ready to be matted and mailed. Fun projects and cute pets. What more could you want?

A quick sketch I made during an art show popped up in my memories of Facebook. Comparing it to this year is a good sign of progress.

Latest Commission. Ballpoint pen. Time to get a headstart on your Christmas gifts.

Sailor Sam (Ballpoint pen/graphite) A dear friend's beloved cat set sail today over the rainbow. So soon after he lost his beloved dog. I drew this in hope that it will bring solace.

My last commission got mugged! I need a drink!
