Music I Don't Mention Enough
Music I Don’t Mention Enough
I rarely talk about the music I listen to when I am creating, and I really should mention it more often. Music plays such an integral part of everything do. Obviously, it’s a big component of my short films – but beyond that, I listen to music when I am drawing, painting, designing and building 3D objects.
Music helps me create a rich and varied creative landscape of ideas, patterns and…

Why Real Artists Get Discouraged
Why Real Artists Get Discouraged
A banana, duct-taped to a wall went on a sale at Art Basel Miami Beach this week — priced at around $120,000. And, according to the gallery behind the work, two of the three editions have already sold, with the last now going for even more.
It takes me days, sometimes weeks to finish an illustration. I am nearly 65, no illustration I have ever made has ever sold above $100.00 My work has never…

New Policy
Next year and every year thereafter, my studio will be closed during the month of December. Between repeated power outages, sick cats, random loss of the internet – I am getting farther and farther behind in my commitments this month BOTH personal and professional. This is stressing me out big time and is no fun – at all.
The mechanical pencil pictured above was my Christmas present to myself…

Seeing the Finish Line
Seeing the Finish Line
Set #4 is done – 4 more days to create 6 more bookmarks and release the Final Film!
Although at times creating 30 bookmarks and 10 short films in 30 days felt so very daunting – I saw it through and I am so elated that I have!

Ecosia and Better Place Forests
Ecosia and Better Place Forests
https://www.betterplaceforests.com
I have decided to have my ashes handled by Better Place Forests when I leave the planet. I made the decision based on a lot of things – but most of all, because I’d like to be useful in my passing.
But back to the living!
ECOSIA!! Have you heard of it?
I switched yesterday and have noticed NO DIFFERENCE from using Google except that I FEEL GOOD ABOUT USING IT!

First Bookmarks Are In The Mail
First Bookmarks Are In The Mail
I want to thank everyone for being so supportive of this project. I am enjoying the process immensely, from the design, drawing & painting to the film making – it is such a pleasure for me. And being able to pass 50% of the profits on to the World Wildlife Fund is also a wonderful feeling.
We are reaching the halfway point (15 of the 30) and I will continue to post my progress and new films both…

Battling Discouragement
Although the Whale making-of video got 128 views the ones that followed got less than 10 views each. The people who DO watch the making-of videos say they love them and that warms my heart.
It takes me most of each day to make those videos and I enjoy making them but the question is – if less than 10 people are going to watch them, should I even continue putting-in all the work it takes to make…
