Some more stuff.....




The sun ones are hung in my office today, and are sort of repurposed art....I have been painting and drawing on anything that isn't moving these days, and this is rough pieces of particle boards that were used to shore up the flower table in shipping. I couldn't really bear to trash the wood, so it has become the make shift canvas that it is.

the cross on t he dark board above was made from some green craft wire and it is glued onto the piece of birch bark i pulled off the tree's here in the parking lot at work..

quickie in the doctor's office


majik markered tonight, and sort of photoshoped...tribute to mom's but typical rush drawing for me.....perhaps i will revisit it and polish it up a bit...just like the thought of a metamorphosis theme...perhaps the next phase after mother is "super woman"...or independent woman! strong woman..a phenomenal woman !

have conf calls and pencils will doodle




sampling from my imagination while on conference calls. I knew that the calender pages would come in handy for something!

My new foyer table has arrived


The table is made by and matches the mirror....I got the mirror at a crafts show a few years ago and didn't want to buy but did want the table. Well this past spring i took the plunge and bought the table to match, not even measuring to make sure it fit...which, thankfully it did.

I cleaned up the foyer yet again, screwed the legs in the table, placed my sculptures on it and voila!



Kinda crooked picture but you can see the mother of pearl inlaid stars...

finally finished it!

well the water color that i started when i was in Hawaii and took the art lesson, I finally finished it last night. I think i am getting the hand of water colors , just a bit, and am doing better at it then when i was a child with a simple water color set and no patience - the colors just bled all over the page.

of course the right paper helps as well - "life is too short not to use good paper" - and it'll cost ya!

At the lake with no camera batteries...



Thrash's new snuggly outdoor bed, on the couch while i vacuum.....camera phone since my camera had a dead battery. Good thing i drug it all the way down to the lake and then checked.

My bud Jack in Colorado Springs made the mistake of telling me this little story about him going out with his daughter and friends...and with the help of a little bit of adult beverages, ended up re-enacting the dance on the bar scene from "Coyote Ugly" movie...you go to know Jack, he is the sweetest guy around and so even keeled, but with a twinkle in his eye can def be some fun. I could just see him up there, giving new meaning to "White Men Can't Jump".


Scooterism number 4 - get outside your comfort zone! no matter how old. Perhpas this is directly related to the first drawing of Jack - and a lesson for us all.

Thrash, sneakers and other things

HOw could you get up and go to work and leave this fuzzy boy...notice his eyes, he was looking at me...
OK, a shaky hand on the camera phone, but the tongue of my new Puma's, showing the character, Cheech Wizard, the inspiration for Scooter, and creation of Vaughn Bode, underground cartoonist.
Trying to make a statement on the gas crisis, but not quite there yet.....
