8″x10″

I taste a liquor never brewed,
From tankards scooped in pearl;
Not all the vats upon the Rhine
Yield such an alcohol!
Inebriate of air am I,
And debauchee of dew,
Reeling, through endless summer days,
From inns of molten blue.
When landlords turn the drunken bee
Out of the foxglove’s […]

storm sketching

May 28th

This past week there was a huge storm here on the North Coast of Oregon. In the area in which I live, we were without power from Sunday through Friday evening. Needless to say, I did a lot of sketching during the storm and power outage to pass the time. Here’s one […]

Winsor McCay Sketching

May 10th

I found this photo a while ago… I thought I’d wait until today to post it since the date on the photo reads 7/17/08 — of course that’s 1908, a hundred years ago today. McCay is the fellow in the dapper hat. He’s sketching his son Robert at an Actor’s Benefit event.
