Real Eyes, Ivory: A Collaboration with Susan Tepper

Hope you'll stop by Big City Lit and read Susan Tepper's story Real Eyes, featuring my drawing Ivory. My thanks to Susan, and to editor Nick Johnson.

For anyone who's interested, artcards of Ivory are available at RedBubble; prices start under $3.

Inn of the Seven Graces

Inn of the Seven Graces
Miniature Graphite Drawing on Bristol; 2 7/8" x 4 5 /8"

Due to the small size and extremely fine detail of this drawing, I'm limiting reproductions to artcards only, no prints. The 4" x 6" card size best represents the original. At $3.00, they're a very affordable alternative to original art, and they're also easy to mat and frame inexpensively.  RedBubble offers discounts for purchases of multiple cards, and you can mix and match from any of my images. Here's the link.

The original drawing will be featured in the annual Little Gems exhibit (February 3- March 9) at West End Gallery, Corning NY. Pre-sales are welcome; if you're interested, email or call the gallery.

Lost

Hope you'll stop by Our Day's Encounter and read my little poem 'Lost'. My thanks to editor Lennie Cox.

Radio Free Atlantis

Radio Free Atlantis 
Charcoal & Graphite drawing; 5" x 7"
Cards and prints available at RedBubble. The original drawing is also available; if you're interested, email or message me.

Randy Rhoads

Randy would have been 55 yesterday.  Awhile after he was killed I stuck a note up over my desk: RANDY RHOADS WAS 24. DO IT NOW.  I was wrong about his age (he was 25), and it hadn’t occurred to me that the note would frighten people. I tried to explain:  I wasn’t suicidal.  Been there, done that.  I put the note up to remind myself to stop wasting time, to work harder at the things I wanted to learn and accomplish. I don’t remember when I took it down.

Opening Act

'She finds her first certainty
at a garage sale. One latch is broken.
When she opens the case
crushed velvet echoes too many
cigarettes, cologne she almost
remembers. Maybe hers.'

Hope you'll stop by and read the rest of my poem Opening Act at Orion headless. My thanks to editor Sara Fitzpatrick Comito.

Remembering Liz

Remembering our dear friend Liz Gerard at West End Talk. Thanks to LuAnne Gardner for providing Liz's photos of her work, and to my partner Parnilla for this one.

We miss you, Liz.
