Time passes slowly here in the provinces.

Each day I read the news coming out of America and I thank God I got out of there.

Youth and innocence

pencil drawing

Culver City 1977

This is an old one. 1977.

I can still remember drawing it. I was living at the time, with someone special, in an apartment in Culver City, with a big double bed. When she came home that night she loved it.

I stlll have this drawing tucked away in one of my drawers.

And I still have my memories tucked away in my mind.

Cast your fate to the wind

Cast your fate to the wind - Shelby Flint

"The empty sky is my best friend."

Occationally in this dear life there comes a moment when we can either sit tight and watch, or stand up and throw ourselves head long into the chaos.

I just want to say thank you. Your art offers a different perspective. I haven't had very much energy lately, but scrolling through tumblr and seeing your latest piece. I don't know what to say. Just a small glimpse and I was obsessed. It reminded me of the fact that everything large achievement is composed of a multitude of small goals. Art can change the direction of the world, and yours shifted my course a little.

Wow, thank you anonymous, you just made my day. - Patrick

Unicorns and Jellyfish

colored pencil, Monrovia, 1997

This morning Sean, my nine year old son asked me,

"Dad, what's more believable, a unicorn or a jellyfish?"

My son's gone to school now but I'm still mulling that one over.

Here's a couple of older drawings.

Happy Friday.

I like this drawing.

I know the signature is upside down.

But so is the drawing.
