Here is my personal space, the quiet place I come to think, to feel the breezes, and watch the flowers, insects and birds. The leaves rustle above me, giving dancing, flickering shade, and whispering louder to me when the wind blows harder. I imagine there is a wily old bowfin lurking somewhere in the weeds, remembering the days when bowfins and dinosaurs were common, and the ancestors of the redwings snatched dragonflies from the air in their toothed jaws.
These are poems and writings that try to preserve in words those images in my mind of things and moments I love, and that make me feel alive. Even fears make me feel alive, because they remind me of what can be lost. They remind me of how much I don't control in life, though I can capture some of them and hold them for a while in my words. Sometimes that makes them less dreadful, but not always.
I hope that you can enjoy some of these word-pictures, by spending some time here.
| Here are some of my own artworks, mostly done in either crayon, pastels, or colored pencil, and pen. There will be a number of my fish drawings eventually, but the opening exhibit will show a sort of Carousel horse and a couple of my monochromatic 'Organic' artworks. | ||

References & Preferences. These lists are another of my passions. They may be about Nature, History, Books, Baseball, Movies, or anything else that makes me want to make a list. The Font Guides. These are my attempts to do for typefaces (fonts) what field guides have done for bird watching. There are more fonts than all the bird and fish species put together, and new varieties are being created every day. 'Font spotting' is a hobby that will never run out of new 'species', and you can do it anywhere you see type. The Font Guides have a practical side too, if you are someone who uses fonts. You can use them to identify a client's old 'look', or to browse them to find a new 'look', or just to find a new favorite of your own that you've seen, but didn't know the name of. There are Supplier codes with each typeface, so you can fond out where to get them. |
