Fantasy

I write a lot of fantasy fiction. It began when I was in high school. I like fantasy because it’s about what’s not possible. My journey into fantasy didn’t begin with writing, but with art. Fantasy allowed me to explore my imagination—there was no limit to what I could draw. It could get silly at … Continue reading Fantasy

Reminiscing, part 2

I’m still peeking at my old photos when I should be labeling their storage boxes. I can’t help reminiscing when I do. (You can read Part 1 here.) I see old photos of an entrepreneurial boy trying to earn quarters. Quarters were important pieces of silver to us kids because we could buy a long-neck … Continue reading Reminiscing, part 2

My Birthday

The shows were silly or serious, sublime or nonsensical, … Continue reading Louie and Bruce 001-2022-1020

Doing What We Love

After blogging for eleven years and seven months at a WordPress site that featured my artwork, I shut it down so I can spend more time writing and keeping up this website/blog. That doesn’t mean I’ve given up on making art. On the contrary. In my post prior to this one, I showed a graphite … Continue reading Doing What We Love

Quality In Our Lives

Today’s topic is a recurring theme in many of my stories. As a writer, I think life lessons make the best themes. When I’m not writing, I sometimes draw to keep the visual artist in me in shape (I’m an artist by trade who enjoys writing fiction). Like any exercise, I think it’s healthiest to … Continue reading Quality In Our Lives
