Well, where do I begin? I remember someone trying to turn me on to The Mothers of Invention back in High School. I believe it was the album “Freakout!”. I just didn’t get it. I liked some of the music but really couldn’t get into it musically. Another...

I recently ran across the following video: Autotuned Mr Rogers – In the Garden of Your Mind. When I was a kid, I grew up watching Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and loved the Land of Make Believe. It planted the seeds of imagination in my impressionable mind. The puppets,...

In November of 2010, I had the fortunate experience to perform a LIVE concert with my band Escher’s Elevator at The Interfaith Peace Chapel during it’s 40 days and 40 nights calendar of events. Here is a Pen and Ink Illustration that was commissioned by Dr. Tim...

Normally like clockwork, each year ends a week or so before Christmas just as everything begins to wind down and work from clients starts to wrap up. This year was a little different because projects showed up and continued through Christmas, through New Year’s...
