Carol and I have been friends since English class in 1999. She thought I was funny and I thought she was funny. We had sleepovers and played lousy pranks on our friends. She cried during Steel Magnolias and I tried to but couldn't. She liked Mountain Dew and I liked Reese's Puffs. One time, sitting on her front stoop, she graciously analyzed my terrible, overly symbolic, Chagall-esque painting. We ended up at the same college where I was her RA and she was my basketball coach. We shared an apartment after graduation until her wedding day and we now live 80 miles apart. She is having her first child in September. This is the invitation I made for her baby shower.

the good-time emporium


I have a friend who is very good at letting me know about cool things and nice opportunities. Yesterday Katie sent me a link to The Good-Time Emporium. It's a place of magic and wonders. Today my work was featured: here. Go take a look around, spy some new art, leave comments, and make a submission.

a summer sort of tree

3.5 x 4.5"
bic stic on copy paper

Last weekend my friend was accidentally in town. Everybody draws trees but he draws them well. He explained his method and this is my attempt. I drew it in the dark to the sound of ten snoring children. This one's for you, Andy. I am sorry that it looks like an atomic bomb.
