Lent 2016
My 2016 Lenten Sketchbook:
Carmina Gadelica Labyrinth
A labyrinthine prayer from Carmina Gadelica “…Carmina Gadelica is a compendium of prayers, hymns, charms, incantations, blessings, literary-folkloric poems and songs, proverbs, lexical items, historical anecdotes, natural history observations, and miscellaneous lore gathered in the Gaelic-speaking regions of Scotland between 1860 and 1909.

Advent 2015 Sketchbook
This year’s advent sketchbook is going to unfold like a narrative. I have no idea where this is going, so I’m along for the ride as well… Here’s how it begins… Editor’s Note: This series ended almost as quickly as it began.

You can view the whole book at your leisure here, or check it out in person, next time you’re in the City.
Revisiting: Halo I & II
It’s strange to see a piece of art you’ve made years ago, having not seen it in person in the intervening years. Yesterday I was reacquainted with two such pieces. In 2008 I crated up two large pen-and-ink drawings on gesso board and shipped them to Los Altos, California, where they have resided in the…
