Sitting around waiting for the phone to ring ain't my cup of tea. When I don't have a commission I do 4 things. First, I ride my bicycle and after that I pull weeds in the yard and then I panic and finally,,, I start making some work and feel right. Here are some new Monotypes that I created over the last couple days. There is some motive behind the pieces. I was invited to have a booth at the Lake Tahoe GreenFEST a couple of weeks ago and I went for it. It was much more fun than you would have thought so I signed up for "Truckee Thursday" the following week. Truckee was good so I made these pieces for this Thursday. If you are interested in any of these please let me know.

This series of work was loosely inspired by the 1992 song, "Blood of Eden" by Peter Gabriel and produced by Daniel Lanois. But, I found this while looking for it, a favorite, enjoy.

Here are some new illustrated DVD covers for the good folks at Lynda.com. I am a big fan of the graphic work of M.C. Escher and I saw a retrospective of his work at the Crocker Art Museum a few years ago and I was completely blown away. I was so intrigued with his work that I didn't look up to read anything about the mans life. Who did he do these pieces for and why, were they commissioned? hmmm, don't know. I can't think of any other artist whose work embraces the spirit of modern technology the way Escher's work does. No surprise that he influenced some of these new pieces.

I created these  pieces in response to the latest news that  endangered sea turtles have become victims of BP's controlled burning of oil slicks. This environmental disaster is beyond belief. To learn about the Sea Turtle Restoration Project.
