ILLUSTRATION
Illustration chronicles our world, but it also has voice; speaking to life, events, the mundane. It so it is a natural platform for narratives and exploration. The work presented here is an exploration and acts as a lens from which to view then discuss. However, it is also timeless. As long as the work survives something of the artist lives on, but more importantly, its voice and its commentary speak on.
Studies in Poor Form,
Chinese and High Heels
This illustration takes a look at misogyny and its traditional acceptance as mainstream social behavior. Under investigation is the idea that fine dress and eccentric characteristics do not combine to make an interesting male, but are in fact, used to be morally demeaning toward women. Part of series.

Faceless, I Am
the Millions Dead
When I was 11 or 12, my grandfather came out from his office carrying an old shoe box. He sat on the couch, removed the lid and pulled out black and white photos. He stared at them. I moved over to look at them. My uncle, a soldier during WWII, age 19, was part of the U.S. division that first entered Buchenwald.
Poem, written by myself, was then Illustrated.

Uptown City Lights
Printed to human scale, the idea for this image is that we share its SpaceTime. We stand next to her, near her, intimate, we share this moment gazing out over the waterway looking onto the city.

Lounge Tramp
Harsh, ridden hard, sex appeal. She is out of place in this environment. And, we as viewer and participant, are startled by both her demeanor and her unconcealed invitation that we join her for the evening.

Istanbul Cafe
The rhythm of life is measured by amounts of tea and cubes of sugar. Dust churns in the street, I am hypnotized by swirling tea and bits of leaves. A five-thousand year old sun watches the ebb and flow of humanity. I am one, reliving glorious moments past, while the embodiment of the same moment destined to repeat itself.

Man With Big Hands
Mornings suck . . . coffee helps . . . Why are my hands so large?
Pencil.
Night Out
Flirtatious glances and exposed ribs. Empty, she displays the need for attention and affirmation that are the marks of a vacant society. Her gaunt face, emaciated body, noticeable vertebra, these are characteristics, the vulnerable woman, put on display. Bare, she is defined by her misguided priorities as she now misunderstands herself.
Mixed media, pencil and digital.
Old Man
He has a long drawn face with out of proportion features. Large eyes with pupils that stray. Enormous ears. A prodigious nose. Sunken cheeks. Pinched, his jaw looks fatigued and haggard. But, why? And, behind his eyes, do we see loss, anger?
Pencil.
The Poet
Verse-maker, lyricist, bard; sharp and quick.

Book cover concept
Vixen
Long, late in the day, lonely shadows. Where are we, and does it even matter? An introverted and diverted gaze. But, she’s locked in on to you. A spider in her web. When is beauty nothing more than a device?
