I did a few sketches of animals with dangling holiday lights for The Lunaria gallery in Silverton, Oregon. Two of the first three sold immediately so I did three more. All five are now at The Lunaria thorough the end of December.
Holiday Buck II (8 x 10 india ink) available
Holiday Cow II (8 x 10 india ink) available
Holiday Hare (8 x 10 india ink) available.
Holiday Zebra (8 x 10 india ink) available
Night Owl (digitally enhanced drawing) Limited Edition
Night Owl (India ink 15 x 15) available
Another surreal pen and ink drawing. This night owl isn’t a party animal. He is the bringer of the night. He carries it under his wing. But be carful–he may sell you the moon.
The Pen is Mightier Than the Quill (16 x 16 ink) SOLD
Like most of my surreal drawings, the title of this little piece came first. It’s only after I’d played around with the possibilities for awhile that this little hedgehog came to have ink squirting out of his fountain pens.
BiPolar Bear (India Ink on cold-press paper 12 x 14 inches).
Bi-polar disorder is a bear to suffer through. Being a bipolar bear may not be much better. But this one seems to be barring up well.
I have changed him up a little digitally:
BiPolar Bear II (digital drawing available in 8 x 10 and 11 x 14 images)
A Murder of Crows (India Ink 11 x 14) available
Another visual pun.
Foxgloves (12 x 15 India Ink) available
Yes I have a visual mind and yes the results can be silly.
Limited Edition Digitally altered prints: 11 x 14 $75 unframed.
Fox Gloves on Lavender (digitally altered pen and ink 11 x 14) $75 unframed
I hear the sound of geese returning and I imagine something like these.

Green Traveler on 60's Blue (digitally altered pen and ink) 11 x 14 $75
Bird Brain (India Ink 14 x 16) available
I have a very visual mind. When someone says “bird brain,” I’m apt to see something like this. But I particularly liked this visual pun, because it hints at the intelligence of birds, which is often as great or greater than mammals with similar lifestyles. Ironically, owls are not particularly bright birds, but crows, hawks, and ravens are.
Urban Chimera (India Ink 19 x 16) available
I think of this as a chimera, but given all of the city equipment, I guess he’s a little bit of a cyborg too.
Canine Nemesis (Technical Pen 12 x 12) available
Our dog thinks the vacuum cleaner is public enemy number one. This is how I think she sees it.
In my Cumulus Balloon (13 x 15 pen and ink) available
I’ve always wanted to float on the clouds.
Digitally Altered Limited Edition Prints: 8 x 10 $40; 11 x 14 $75.

Tree Pose: Root Your Foot Down (pen and ink 11 x 18) available
In many standing yoga poses the instructions are to root down through your standing leg. That seems particularly fitting for tree pose.

Tree Pose on White (digitally altered pen and ink 11 x 14) $60
