My 5 yo daughter asked for a drawing with pink in it so I drew this. She says she likes it.

My brother, on the other hand, said he liked it more when it was unfinished and still had some white areas.

Maybe..

Luckily I took an in progress photo.

Time for coffee.

Each time you fall in love

Coloredpencil and Watercolor

Monrovia 1996

I made this drawing in 1996.

When I drew it, by the grace of God, I had been free form alcohol for one incredible year and I remember, so clearly, that as I drew, I was feeling a deep new creative surge born of hope.

Life is an epic journey my friends.

Hollywood 2018

I have this idea for a science fiction story.

In the story during an unborn child's nine months in the womb, the child's entire life is slowly played out for them like in a movie so that by the time they are born they know everything that is going happen to them in their life.

In the story then when the mother is about to give birth, the unborn child faces the opening cervix and looks out to their inevitable future with dread.

Being born then wipes away all memory of this.

But each person then leads their lives with the uneasy feeling that everything is a forgone conclusion.

The Band - The Weight

I was fortunate enough to see The Band's farewell concert at the Hollywood Bowl in 1976. My friend's mother was a reporter for the LA Times and she had guest tickets but she couldn't go so she gave the tickets to us. It turned out the tickets were for the VIP section! What a great show. There we were, three crazy young hippies, high on peyote, sitting in front row center seats, along side a bevy of Hollywood dignitaries, digging The Band and all their guest artists.

Fond memory.

What a trip.

E ticket.
