Am I in an input mode??? I don't know. I'm pinched for time, lately, although I have been creating a TON (metric & shit, first one, and then the other) of art, particularly postcards and zines. Creation is not the question. SHARING often takes a back seat, cuz I'm babysitting my grandson five days per week. He's ONE-AND-A-HALF years old, and he seems to have a death-wish. My job is to make sure he's still alive when I leave for the day, and make a few zines between life-saving efforts... Keeps a grandpa SHARP!

[Felt pen, gel pen, glitter pen, brush pen, and metallic marker on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] The puppet show only ran for two weeks, but it was enough for the perpetrators to abscond with the souls of 47 people before being stopped! The show is moving on to Houston starting mid-September...

I don't understand social media, both because I'm from the era BEFORE media was social, and I myself am severely ANTI-SOCIAL. (If it weren't for my wife and kids and grandkids, I would never leave my room, EVER...) Still, I'm kicking. I'm drawing and writing and flicking that BIC, even if it's totally out of lighter fluid! HA!

Back cover of a mini-zine I made a week or so ago. Mixed media, collage on found paper. (It wasn't hard to find. It came as a receipt for one of my prescriptions...) Make stuff! Just make stuff! Context is for fragmentation!!! [Totally swag! Putting this on stickers and shirts and mugs and junk like that. Maybe you don't want that stuff, but it's still fun to look at!!!]
