A New Horizon

I recently started volunteering at a local tutoring center. This has been my first experience working with kids and I am really liking it. For the past couple of days I have helped kids create their own time machine, write caveman tabloids and create their own country. It's easy to forget how much imagination children have. I'm enjoying being around all this creativity.

Camping with Judy Garland

Where have you been?

Heard this track the other day and was immediately drawn to this band. I wanted to do a mock album cover for them, but found no dinosaur images in my books. When I came to this astronaut image, suddenly the idea of dinosaurs on the moon made sense to me.

Sometimes we do things on purpose just to break the rules. What happens when you break the eggs? Will you get what you wished for? Will you ever?

As life in general seems to be getting faster and faster, do we have time to find the meaning? As we become more dependent on technology, we expect faster results. We don’t have time to wait for a song to download or for the commercial to finish. Things have to happen now. How frustrated do you get when you feel like you’re waiting too long at the drive thru? How often do we stop and think that there actually are people in there trying to do their jobs while our car unnecessarily burns off more fuel?

As we become more connected through technology, do we become more isolated as individuals? I see people glued to their cel phones, texting one of their friends instead of actually saying hi to the person in front of them. Things are not likely to change. There was a time when you actually had to get up to change the TV channel. There was a time when there was no TV. How different were we back then? For now, can we at least hold the remote together? Maybe that way we feel a connection.

It’s been a while since I update the blog. Other matters have come into my life, but I am finding the time again to update the writings here. Have been busy lately working on new books. The books are all eight pages long. So far I’ve finished four books, so I have plenty of images to share!

I Feel Better

Wanted to share a great song and video from Frightened rabbit. I’ve been listeting to them constantly for about a year now. Great lyrics, great music. Enjoy.
