Unicorns And Jellyfish

Unicorns and Jellyfish

Unicorns And Jellyfish

colored pencil, Monrovia, 1997

This morning Sean, my nine year old son asked me,

"Dad, what's more believable, a unicorn or a jellyfish?"

My son's gone to school now but I'm still mulling that one over.

Here's a couple of older drawings.

Happy Friday.

Dream River And Moon

Dream river and moon

Colored pencil and pen

Los Angeles 2018

When the mind dreams it is at play.

There is an appeal to illustration that transcends subject. My art is a reflection of nature. My art is my dream.

Somewhere, even in deconstruction, there is a promise of reconstruction. My art is my reminder.

My art is my ouija board.

not only by words

Not Only By Words

colored pencil, calbayog city, 2025

A man can live for a hundred years or more

A hundred years and he's scored

Not only by the words of his mouth

But the meditations of his heart

Beautiful Things

Beautiful things

Black sharpie on beige paper

Rosemead 2012

"Dream pretty dreams of beautiful things,

let all the skies surround you.

Swim with the swans and believe that upon

some glorious dawn love will find you"

Townes van Zandt

This drawing just came out of nowhere. Like a mystical gift, one day it just happened.

Cast your fate to the wind

Cast your fate to the wind - Shelby Flint

"The empty sky is my best friend."

Occationally in this dear life there comes a moment when we can either sit tight and watch, or stand up and throw ourselves head long into the chaos.

America - Ray Charles

Oh beautiful for heros proved,

in liberating strife.

Who more than self their country loved,

and mercy more than life.

America,

America,

May God thy gold refine.

Til all success be nobleness

And every gain devine.

A Girl Wearing A Sweater

A girl wearing a sweater

pencil drawing

Calbayog City 2024

A drawing from yesterday's drawing.

Last night I slept well. Very well. I woke up this morning with that well slept glow.

And then I had the most wonderful cup of coffee.

A fresh cup of coffee on top of a well slept glow is Van Nuys.

Van Nuys indeed.

This is a longshot, would you be willing to help me get my insulin? I'm down to my last pen and its pretty much close to being empty.Nt asking for much only need $370 rn to save my blood sugar. please help me with a small donation or share, reblog any help can save my life.Please help & Blessings ❤

Go to your local county hospital. If your glucose level is high they will adjust it and admit you if necessary. Once they learn of your financial situation they will set you up with a social worker who will arrange for your insulin. I've worked in many county hospitals and I've never seen anyone in need of insulin turned down.

"The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everyone rushes around in a great panic as if it is necessary to achieve something beyond themselves."

Cigarettes after sex - Apocalypse

colored pencil and sharpie

Calbayog City 2024

The Tao is an image that has no form - Lao Tsu

There is danger on either side of pink - Anon

My 5 yo daughter asked for a drawing with pink in it so I drew this. She says she likes it but I think she likes her Legos more which is reasonable.

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.
