This is the kind of work I do for Allen Forkum's newspaper, Automotive Report. If I can make this car stuff look interesting, my job is done.

2002, SELF PORTRAIT

20" x20"
oil on canvas

If I were to do more commissioned portraits, I think I'd try to capture more of the sitter's personality - as opposed to just catching a mere likeness.

Haiku What?

Hanging out on the edge,
Toes dangling over Paris,
Catching whiffs of merde.

Book Cover Idea

1974.gif

This would be a collection of personal anecdotes revolving around what people were into during the summer of '74.

As for me, I was ten. I was into little league baseball, Cosby albums and listening to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".

Personal Note on Commenting Here....

I've been doing a little catch-up reading on the "Kept Secrets" thread. YOWZA!

I'll simply (yet emphatically) suggest this: Keep them interestesting, brief and without malice. I'm more likely to respond and keep the conversation going. Big, giant thread comments confuse me. Let's remember this is a cocktail party and not a college debate.

BIG HUG?
