“Sir Moose”
During my brief, yet rewarding Farmers Market appearance, I had the great pleasure of meeting “Moose” a-well shoot I forgot what breed he was- very handsome unique looking pup. He had a cleft lip which meant basically that no matter what his expression was, it was purely adorable. Thankfully his Mom and Dad allowed me …
Pilot House Distillery “Stormy Weather Arts Festival”
I have written a few posts on the business end of art, this particular event is tied into the business and pleasure. Every other month I research online, businesses (pubs, bars, galleries, gift shops) that I think might be open to carrying my art either as a wholesale product or as a small exhibition. I …
Cannon Beach Breakfast Adventure “Oro’s Fireside Restaurant”
It is not often that I take a trip somewhere and feel moved enough by the experience, service, and pure deliciousness of the food and drink to personally write an article about it, let alone 3. This trip was very different. Not only was every experience beyond my expectation, but it also seemed to be …
Cannon Beach Experience “Cannon Beach Hotel Collection”
Soooooo awesome! Traveling 3 hours to set up an exhibition is the perfect excuse for a mini vacation. I rolled into town without any reservations and of course, the hotels were pretty busy. I finally landed in what seemed like the only parking lot of a hotel that said “Vacancy” and what an amazing hotel …
“Going in style”
This is the newest addition to my “Oceanic Commentary” series! I have been wanting to add into the artwork old cars to the series for quite some time. To me, the cars themselves are a work of art and there happened to be a Classics car club gathering in the town I was passing through. …
Artist Inspiration
My Artist inspirations can come from anywhere, almost all of mine come from outside myself. They come from talking with people from all walks of life and all forms of perspectives. Every now and then, someone REALLY stands out. In this case, it was a customer who bought several pieces of my art at the …

Risque’ Portraits
Art is the best industry to get away with crossing every “offensive” and “politically incorrect” line that exists while labeling it as an untouchable creative outlet. I prefer to mix comedy in with my eccentricities because comedy is something I value the most in my own life. This makes my “Tasty Nudes” not only socially …
A blast from the past. My earliest artwork.
Well congratulations to me for digging deep! After that whole “Was I born an artist?” thing I decided to take a trip down memory lane because my Mom saved almost EVERYTHING my sister and I made as children. What exactly was I capable of at 6, 8, and 14? In truth, I wish there was …
Wooden Boat Festival: Toledo, OR
This year, I promised myself that I would participate in local events, including Farmers Markets, anything with beer in the title, Art shows, and the wooden boat show. Surprisingly, I have had so much fun connecting with people and talking about art. The best part about all the shows is watching how people react to …
