Boulder 7/9/9

An ideal summer night, a street fair, a river, and massive amounts of public sculpture all came together for rockin' goodtimes. Thanks for having me!

America's Got Ennui.

Not even Hasselhoff can save summer television programming.

Sorry.

I've been really busy with my children's book lately, and so I haven't done, well, much of anything else. But here's a black and white picture of Sasha begging for caramel corn to make you feel better!

Petunia and Pops preview spread

I just can't help posting these. I guess I love the ego boost. This isn't being done in order, so don't panic if the story doesn't make sense.

Slice of Life - 6/8/09.

Happy post 500!

Petunia and Pops.

It's been a while, no? This is what I've been up to: my first foray into the magical world of children's literature. It's the first completed spread from a story I'm writing called "Petunia and Pops," about a penguin who loves to paint and her slightly-OCD father. Wishful thinking? Perhaps.

Summer in Colorado.

Time for some bluegrass, grilling, and hiking. I pretty much hate summer, but I'm trying to change that this time around. Maybe if I can just stay cool and avoid hearing the crazy neighbors.

Think of Me When Everything You Wanted Starts to End

Acrylics, watercolor, and ink on canvas. 12" x 24".

This is the first time in a while that a painting isn't better than the one that preceded it. Not that I don't love this one, but it's not perfect. I'll get it on the next try.

Go, Snobatron! Go!

I took Snobatron out on the Sante Fe Trail in northern Colorado Springs last night. A bit of it was on Air Force Academy property. There were trains, and old broken down train stuff, and a creek, and mountains, and a little rain. So yeah, it was pretty much far and away the best ride I've had yet. I'm amazed at how fast this city can go from average suburbia to rugged outdoors. I guess I'm pretty lucky.








Ok, so it was only about 4.7 miles. It seemed a lot longer. Apparently the train blocking the trail is a near-permanent fixture, and I should take a different route next time. Also, I'm going to make sure to lock down the front hub next time. I could've gotten seriously messed up.
