Skinny Buildings
Townhouses get narrower and people get bigger.
Reclaiming Unused Property
The house is around the corner from me. It had a land use sign on it a few years ago and everyone expected it would be torn down and new apartments or condos would be built. But then a couple of years ago they owners took down the sign and the property has been sitting unused ever since. Years ago it was a lively house with lots of creative people living there.
Private Jim
During the pandemic of 2020 and 2021, before there was a vaccine, I wrote a book of short stories. This is one of those stories, read by myself. I hope you enjoy it. :)
Victrola Coffee Roasters (2004)
Shortly after Victrola Coffee started roasting their own coffee beans, I paid them a visit and got a tour of their process by Tony and Chad.

Birds (2018)

King of Harperville (1992)
This is a short film I made in 1992 when I lived in Kansas. The actors are my friends, and the whole thing was filmed on a VHS camcorder. 1992 was long before digital video was invented, and editing was a real challenge. This version is the only one I seem to have, and it was all run through a video processor which makes it look posterized, but I don’t think it detracts from the story. We all had fun making this together and I’m very pretty proud if it. I hope you enjoy watching it! :)

Portrait of David Byrne

Mr. Lilly
“Mr. Lilly” is an acrylic painting on paper, 11x14 inches. I thought it would look interesting to see what a businessman would look like with flower for a head. Here he is powerful and just walks down the middle of 2nd Avenue.

Fabulous hand-made A5 journals. I screen printed the image on the covers onto 100% cotton. The pages are fountain pen friendly and are Smyth sewn.

“summer Fashion” Ink blotter and watercolor, 7x 10 in. For the black, I used the ink bladder transfer method that And Warhol used in his illustrations in the late 1950s, them I colored it with watercolor.
Charlie Caplin & Edna Purviance
Here I was messing around with my Epson Stylus 3880 printer. First, using a light pad, I painted the colors with acrylic paint. Then I printed the black on top in a process similar to the one Andy Warhol used for his screen printing.
