My figure drawing sketchbook has become dusty after the holidays. It is one of my goals for the year to fill it up. The goal is to quickly render the figure. These are not complicated drawings that I spend much time on. My aim is to improve my ability to capture gesture. I work from a mixture of models from magazines and real life models.

As I've noted here before, when I became disabled my drawing ability was severely damaged. I can still draw, but with great effort, and it just isn't the same as I used to be.

These drawings aren't so hot, but I post them publicly because I'm tired of being held back from fear of failure. So there you are. Mock at will! I can take it. :)

There you are, grieving family members around you, the organ plays in the background, and you've got this really funny joke to tell. Happen to you? No, me neither, but I do know a guy who appa...

As a way of keeping low self-esteem and depression at bay, I decided to do some landscape painting and drawing. Don't be afraid to pick up new things to keep your mind fresh and your perspective positive.

Humor: Riddle Me This, Batman

I have four girls, no boys, so sometimes I find my sense of humor out of step with my family. One day last year we were gathered together after dinner sharing jokes. Everybody was telling riddles that they knew. Unfortunately for them, I didn't know any so I made one up. I hope you enjoy it. My oldest daughter didn't, but my second oldest, who's humor is a bit more cynical like mine, got a kick out of it. Stretched over black I lie down flat; my skin is tough as leather. I set out to be on the other side, but now I'm exposed to the weather. What am I? Highlight the right to see the answer: Road Kill !
