Abraham receives the promise AND the miracle of redemption continues apace. This small section of the drawing is pretty much all you need to see. It’s pretty good, but putting it all online is a bit much. Eighteen years ago I was finishing up with my Master of Fine Arts…

What is a Drawing?

This is the simplest of little drawings, yet I look at it all the time. The pig is startled and the little bell on a rope is falling off to the side. What’s going on? I know that a pig with a bell is a traditional symbol of obscenity. So…

I am a printmaker and draughtsman and an occasional watercolorist. What I am not is a painter of canvases. This one was very difficult for me. I started with a drawing that I kind of liked and then moved on to paint. What a mistake that was. So I wiped…

Four Fish. Three of these make delicious additions to the dinner plate. I hung a show today! It’s down at First Presbyterian Church of Orlando. I believe it will be up until sometime in October. If you’re in town, check it out! What are these prints about? I get that question…

It is my great fear that most people look at this print and see a zombie. That is not my intention. He’s a leper (a victim of Hansen’s disease I think it’s called now). There is a fantastic story about the young Francis as he encounters a leper on the…

When looking through my drawings of the past several years, I see that I’m coming up short somehow. The drawings are pretty good and I like them, but there is something missing. There’s a vitality that just doesn’t seem to be there. The prints I have been working on, I…

St Francis has been consuming all of my artmaking these days. He’s taken the lion’s share for more than the past year. I’m going to try to set down here some of what it is that I’m thinking about as I make these images. As I have written…

We all have tools that we like to use. There are some things that we see as essential to our art-making process and that we just have to have with us at all times. Here are mine. For now. First off, I carry all this stuff in a pencil case.…

See the entirety of this drawing book! Thrill to artistic feats heretofore unknown to man-kind! Recoil in horror at the sight of unearthly creatures! Swoon at the beauty of insects! It’s all here in one five and a half minute video! PS: Be warned of the tuberculosis-like coughs that happen…

I’ve nearly finished my current drawing book, A Sufficiency of Leisure. I started it back in February of 2015 and have been plugging away steadily since then. These books take me a long time. Pretty much all of the drawings and collages in them are “finished” pieces – or at…
