Have an Artful Halloween!

This is one of my 5" mandalas, colored for Halloween... and below is a Halloween card I got from my brother Dennis last year -- it's remarkable because everything on this card is hand cut paper, which is such a popular and difficult art form this year. Happy Halloween everybody.

Paper cutting is the hot new art form. Last year one of my brothers gave me this cut-paper Halloween card, before I heard of the new trend.

Isle of Mull

Tobermory is a little Scottish town on the Isle of Mull. I sketched it a few years ago then today I added color using Photoshop.

Mourning the End of Battlestar Galactica

I'm a new but rabid fan of "Battlestar Galactica," a Sci-Fi channel tv series which aired its finale on Friday night. This morning I'm holding my own private wake by slipping Disk One Season One into my DVD player, and watching Episode One (so far...). I paused the player as Gaius Baltar and Six were kissing (one of thousands maybe?), inspiring a sketch in my sketchbook.
