Travel companions

 Can a bat get on a train? Just something I was wondering about...

In the sleeper car

Night train

Cats on a train pass through a lonely stretch of the woods on their way to a summer vacation. A painting in my sketchbook.

Summer is coming! So does that mean it's time to pack up the kids for a trip to the beach? Check out the animation I made here. I couldn't post it properly to this blog. You can also find a slightly different variation here.

Sprring?

Okay, it's practically summer already, but here's a little sketchbook painting I did while mulling over the season.

Is it spring??

Umbrella Day

Here's a hidden picture illustration I did for this month's issue of "High Five" magazine.

Cats galore with their brellies.

 

Downhill Donkey

 Wherein I realize I haven't actually drawn or painted a donkey before.

I looove Billie Holiday. I started listening to her when I was in my teens!

Bad Hikes

Before you head out on the trail into the arms of Mother Nature, eliminate these "Bad Hikes" from your destination list!

Movie line

Queuing up for a rainy day movie at the neighborhood cinema. Here's a recent spread from my art journal, inspired by an old photo I found taken in front of the "Naro Expanded Cinema" in the Ghent neighborhood of Norfolk, Va., where I spent some happy times when I lived there!

Drummer & Ashford helm the Behemoth

I stumbled across this crazy show this past fall and I'm obsessed! These are my two favorite characters in the sci-fi series "The Expanse." I rarely watch science fiction or action-adventure shows and films, but lately with some great female characters being included, I'm reexamining. 

FAKE fight!

That time Anne Jones and I got some red food coloring and pretended to fight on the corner to freak out the passing adults… I think we were about 12. Get up to some mischief, folks!
