Products for sale

I just decided to try out the online company Society6, which sells mugs, prints, cushions, and more with the artwork of any artist who registers & posts artwork. Registration & posting is free, Society6 takes a commission on all sales. I am told they use quality materials and reproduction for their products. The site images certainly look nice.

It would be quite pleasing to sell a few mugs, cushions or tote bags with my work printed on them, so I have uploaded a few select images. Check out the cushions here, and there are also mugs and more…

I rarely try to reproduce nature as I see it, however my art is always informed by nature. I draw from the many patterns that the natural world engraves upon me.Drawing statememt 2014

My drawings are the patterns in my surroundings that are traced into my memory by time.

Notice the Leaves

Translucent sketch branchesGray Wolf seemed to attend meetings against her better judgement. One evening she came by anyway and said, ” In every service I renew my vow to save the many beings, but, really, how can I do that?”
Raven said, “It’s your precious keepsake.”
Mallard asked, “How can a vow be a keepsake?”
Raven said, “It reminds you of a loved one.”
Gray Wolf sat back and said nothing further.
Owl spoke up and said, “We also vow to waken to the countless gates of the Great Law. I always thought that vow meant I should study all the various Buddhist teachings, but now I am not so sure.”
Raven said, “See all the new green leaves glittering in the sunshine!”

No art here

This post is not so much about art.

It is just a brief explanation of the gap in my postings during the last weeks of July and into August.

My mother died on Thursday, July 24th in Jefferson Healthcare Hospital. She suffered a concussion from a fall, possibly caused by a stroke, and died one week later. This happened just two weeks after an ER visit related due to probable pneumonia. She was nearly 91, and she was ready to go. Her life had become more limited and much less rewarding. She did not want to live with daily care, and she never had to do that. She lived and died (mostly) on her own terms.

Framed at last (sort of)

Ancestors V III framedI am too cheap, oh I mean frugal, to get an odd sized artwork properly framed by a professional. Or maybe just to lazy to take it in & choose a frame!

This is piece that took many hours & days of work (and re-work). I found a rather junky but real wood frame that is larger than the board, but proportionately so… Now I can hang this work, and I think it looks fairly respectable. But it is not well protected, since the artwork is flush with the outer surface of the frame (no glass of course). So this leaves my work very vulnerable to damage.

More lighted artwork, and …

Held Rock tower 1 After Morris Graves vellum V2 adjThis plexi tower has a hazy print of one of my (held rock) drawings on it, and the LED “fairy lights” inside.

The bird drawing is a new version of my sea bird “after Morris Graves”, done on translucent vellum.

Then, while working on one thing, I came across an interesting accidental arrangement of drawings removed from a small sketchbook. This inspired me to arrange most of the same drawings on my scanner, to produce the collage. Things on my scanner
