Spring Hopes

Here in the sunny California foothills, the wild flowers are blooming and spring is officially underway. I went out with the Yosemite Western Artists plein air group last Thursday to enjoy the cool morning and celebrate the all too fleeting colors of wild flowers and green growth.

For all you who live where winter still clings and wild flowers hide underground, here’s a sign that spring will come your way soon.

Comic Book Creations

The San Diego Comic Convention has people dressed up in all sorts of Costumes from a variety of media.

Now, they inspire and [...]

Comic Con 2012

I’ve gone to the San Diego Comic Con many times in the past and I’ve always enjoyed it. Recently though, all I really do at the conventions is take photos. There are so many people who put hours and days of their time into creating costumes and makeup that it only seems fair for me [...]
