I feel like a confirmed bachelor (minus the trendy clothes)

I guess I should probably update. As you, the casual reader, can tell, I have not been entirely faithful as to keeping a running sketchbook, but I have excuses. I've just finished washing all of the dishes, cheap-aluminum-bendableware, pots, etc. My fingers are a little numb due to the prune-fingers I now own. Before that I just walked back from Stater Bros. (a local Dillon-esque market) with a 24-pk of toilet paper (Angel Soft if you must know, 2-ply) under one arm and a 8-pk of paper towels (Sparkle's the best) under the other along with two tan sacks swinging by both sides. Yes, it would be nice to have a car, but then you couldn't have nearly as much fun. Besides, in a car your missing out on life: the fresh, unfiltered air, sun crawling down your back, not to mention the exercise.

Oh, sorry...I am now at Azusa Pacific University, in the apartment. Classes start on September 6th, but in the mean time, besides unpacking and arranging...that's another problem...I am being trained to be on the reference team (yea-rah!).

Nuf' with the update...here are some piece I did on August 22nd out off of K-4 in western Kansas. A local artist I know Cally Krallman (check out her website) went out to paint for what we thought would be a few hours and turned into six. This is the first piece (5"x4") on a gessoed massonite:

Here's me out there, overcast now we began to roast soon after...

I would also like to debut the new and improved signature.

The second piece (8"x18", roughly) took twice as long to do, but it turned out fantastic and I very much enjoyed doing it...
