did you know...?

...that my roomates in college were George Pratt, Kent Williams, and John Van Fleet?

believe it or don't!

favorite movie ever?

...is the Pope of Greenwich Village. Then what's with the Blade Runner drawings? Well, I've never done any sketches from 'Pope', so the best I can offer is stuff from my SECOND favorite movie ever...yup...Blade Runner.

Well, ok, maybe my second favorite movie ever is a tie with Chinatown/the Godfather/A Place in the Sun/Paper Moon/A Very Long Engagement/Taking of Pelham 123/Godfather 2/the Searchers/To Kill a Mockingbird and Blade Runner.

please don't make me decide.

had a good painting weekend, got the first piece in a new gallery series done. The series is one of legendary jazz musicians and vocalists, the painting is of tenor sax genius Lester Young.

Next up is Billie Holiday, of course.

and so it goes...
