I kid you not, I think about those guys on the HMS Bounty, a lot.

They had been on Tahiti for six months, living with the Tahitians in what must have been, for them, paradise. And then suddenly Captain Bligh told them they had to pack up and sail back to England.

I would have mutinied too!!

Alhambra 1988

I drew this at a party one night in 1988. There was a pen and a piece of cardboard on a table so I sat down and drew this, with everyone partying around me. It's filled with nervous energy because I was.

I absolutely adore Edvard Munch but here's the deal.. If you search for Munch's art you're going to get like a million copies of "The Scream" which is a great painting sure, but there is so much more to Edvard Munch than "The Scream."

Anyway, IMHO, Edvard Munch is a wonderful artist and if you like drawing he is certainly someone well worth studying.

Aluminum can #1

Watercolor and pen

Los Angeles 2016

A friend of mine once told me that she liked Mark Rothko because she liked how he applied paint.

That got me thinking.

What I need, I thought, is a simple image to serve as a vehicle for the application of paint.

With this thought in mind I began painting fantasy aluminum cans.

Some of them turned out very pretty.

Here's another one.

These days I'm not so ambitious. When I want to apply pigment I just freakin' apply it.

For those who place their faith in fire,

In fire their faith shall be repaid.

Oh God, pride of man,

Broken into dust again.

Lost in time

I think this was the last Sierpinski drawings I did. I really enjoyed making these drawings. The sierpinski triangle is a drawing technique that one, or at least that I, can become utterly lost in. Hours can go by with no other thought than "draw."

So lovely.

Like a good drug.

I should do another one.

Go to your local county hospital. If your glucose level is high they will adjust it and admit you if necessary. Once they learn of your financial situation they will set you up with a social worker who will arrange for your insulin. I've worked in many county hospitals and I've never seen anyone in need of insulin turned down.
