New Works: Sonya Edwards


I like the direction of the new works by Sonya Edwards.  See her link in my list of favorites to the right.  Sonya achieves amazing depth of color in her works thru layering of colors--they are stunning.

Darryl Carter


I have really enjoyed seeing the work of designer Darryl Carter.  His view on the "new traditional" is very inspiring.  Enjoy these pics.

Good Proportions

One of my goals for the NEW YEAR (2011) will be to continue the practice of life drawing. It's a very challenging and rewarding hobby.  Right after I finish a eight week intensive yoga retreat.  


I study the stylings of Joseph Sheppard



One of my feeble attempts

...I like playing with proportions--elongation of the form, etc...

Merry Christmas

...hoping all had a very Merry Christmas, and hoping for a safe New Year!!!!!!
handmade animal figures, and garland

Building Clothes: Railcar Fine Goods



Building clothes.  This is the philosophy of Steven Dang of Railcar Fine Goods in Los Angeles.  Steven, once a train repairman for the LA Metro, designs and "builds" denim (jeans).  He also creates killer western shirts.  I love Steven's history and passion for what he does--Great American entrepreneurship at work. Here are some shots from his company site.
