Back to minimalist roots for this stark sunrise. Feel the warm, life giving rays on your face and rejoice.

A “fun” one in that it radiates joy and play. Reminiscent of Matisse’s cut-outs and of my own roots in designing classroom bulletin board displays using scissors and construction paper in grade school. I’ve been doing this a long time.

I started this with a squiggle and then turned it into this bold, minimalist expression. I think it could brighten many different kinds of places and could spark many conversations.

I have been preoccupied with images of the devastation, loss of life and property, in the Southern California fires … but also with the outpouring of compassion, care and help. Our survival depends on our care for one another and this has been a silver lining in very dark cloud.

Back to simplistic roots for this one of a person with an air of arrogant confidence. It started with a squiggle, then the lips and the back of the head were added. The pastel background forms make the face pop a bit more.

I’m loving this one I did today … a departure from stark, bright colors. A more muted pallet, but still some high contrast. There is a strong personality portrayed here. Do you know anyone like this?

Poster art has always had an allure for me. This poster-graphic piece makes a bold statement …as posters are prone to do. It would make a cool T-shirt, don’t you think?

A common personal subject for me … love and commitment … owing to the continuous creation of a wonderful partnership with my sweetest Tanya. Like I always tell her, “you are the best of the best”. Thank you baby.

There is always hope … but you need to create it yourself and spread it to those around you.


A common theme of a small group navigating life together … what friends are for.
