Animated GIF Fun
These are from 1998 or so when I was first learning web stuff. Created in photoshop – I was very excited about the custom brush setting. I forget what this one was about… Oda Nobunaga Moon Girl, part of an animated story/web page which used a lot of DHTML. Some of you may remember what…

The Fine Art of Sales (or, leading a horse to water)
“I don’t care if I sell my work. I just give it away…” Overhearing this statement is like listening to the apartment below me being remodeled, on a Saturday morning, to accompany my slight second-hand cigarette smoke induced headache. I am, at this moment, enjoying the whir of the circular saw. The day is heating…

Painting in Oils: New Work
[portfolio_slideshow size=large autoplay=false random=false centered=true carousel=true navstyle=graphical navpos=top pagerstyle=thumbs pagerpos=bottom] Painting over a painting that wasn’t going anywhere.

Southport El Platform
[portfolio_slideshow size=large autoplay=false random=false centered=true carousel=true navstyle=graphical navpos=top pagerstyle=thumbs pagerpos=bottom] Returning to the studio after some period of neglect is just like an athlete returning to training after being sedentary. Gestural strokes are hard: my forearm is weak and my endurance for more than 2 or 3 hours at the studio is pathetic. But,…
