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
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.

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

"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.

"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.

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 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.

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.

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.
Time for coffee.

These drawing are like playing with finger paints but with maybe a little more intectual input.
I work in layers. The above drawings is made of five layers. Below is the drawing after three layers. Really fun to watch them grow.
