I'm going through a moldering pile of drawings I have hidden away. This came from that stack. It was done in 2002. I'm not enthusiastic about it and, as always, earnestly hope I can do better than that now. Like so many other pieces on this site, the reason I'm posting it is that I recall Kathy saying she liked it. And now it's back to the moldering pile for this picture.

Dancer of the Roar (Ahab)
This is an old drawing, done in 2003. Kathy and I recently had an occasion to look at some of my old pieces and she mentioned she liked this one. So, for no other reason than that, I thought I'd post it. I recall this was inspired by Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, but I've long forgotten the details as to the piece's origin and exact meaning.

A Winter Heart
I'm just showing this one because Kathy liked it enough to frame it. It was done in 2003. I'm appallingly ignorant about Oriental culture and history. Kathy, however, lived in Japan for some time and fell in love with the country, so I did this picture for her. In my complete ignorance, this is merely how I imagined a woman from some vague past might have looked.

There's nothing to this. It's merely the result of spending some time in the company of a pencil when neither of us had much to say.
