Are you giving up on your passions if you decide to go the job route? Are you “more” of a true artists if you decide not to get a regular job? Does being a “true” artist require that you live off of your talents alone? What does it mean to follow your passions?
Artists or copyists? Is it art or not? Over the years, I’ve heard experts say that what I (and others like me) do, is not art. We are not artists, merely copyists…
Adult Coloring Books Real Benefit or Marketing Genius? Adult coloring books…really?? And, no…there is nothing X-rated about the ones I’m talking about. These are simply coloring books for grown-ups. The folks who sell adult coloring books are claiming that they’re great stress reducers. An alternative form of art therapy, if you will. Non-believers are standing […]
Art, Passion, and Personal Goals Time For a Revamp My art website and blog have been up for a while and has had its ups and downs, including some strange snafu where my site lost all of its posts, gallery images, etc. I’ve since gotten everything back where it was with some additional posts. It […]
How to Draw – The Very Basics is a class I’ve been working on putting online for you guys. I’ve been busy working on a number of projects the past couple of months. I know that doesn’t excuse my absence here, but I’m human and I tend to drop some balls when I juggle too […]
How do artists and writers overcome creative block? Is it even real? Yes, absolutely! Without a doubt. I’m willing to bet that creative types the world over have experienced this ultimate form of frustration and aggravation.

Do you have your priorities straight? More often times than not, I hear countless excuses as to why people “can’t” fit exercise and healthy eating into their lives…

Myra and I have been friends for 25 years. Over the years, I have watched her art progress from fantastic to simply spectacular. I’ve seen her work in multiple mediums and I have to say that her work in pencil is probably my favorite. She has a wide range of subject matter, from galaxies in airbrush to animals in pencil, each completed with outstanding attention to detail. I’ve commissioned two pieces from her to hang in the lobby of the building where I work. Each piece was completed flawlessly and within the time frame given. I love Myra’s art so much I wish she’d pick up a tattoo gun and put some on me, permanently.
