saw it on a blogsite...

as put by Ahinesa;
the significance of the logo tag placement ... on its "hind"... is telling of the overall dining experience.
(roughly translated)
bravo!!

homegrown cactupuss...

YES...
grown in my own garden
in a pot, more bowl than pot,
grown under nasty conditions
and years of neglect.
then it comes out and wows me.
wow.

jackie o'...

sketchy guy...
must be the season after all...
I like the rough paper
and "bleed-threws"
gives 'personality'

t'aint the season...

a very toothy skull
from the "rough" sketchbook
settling into Hallow's 'Een coming up...

owlette ...

time to come out yet??
... I found this drawing back a couple books ago.
I don't think I have shown it yet.
I like the little guy, ...
he might be saying, 
"whoa, where is this???"
yup.

Feeding reindeer ...

Artic*ularly speaking

Mushroom plaque ...

Mushrooms chunks in colors

Riley's frisbee ...

There is no doubt
Riley
& his frisbee
Are one.

He is a frisbee warrior
Through and through
Triumphant in his fris maneuvers

An eye drop ...
full of color
=light
=energy
passes in
around and through
intensified
to the 10's

owl lotus staima

The creative 
seeds of energy
spring forth from the deep reserves
manifest in all forms
this movement is growth
all things grow in connectivity


AWARENESS is the key

blowing leaves
cooler air
climate change
creative sparks
time to get busy in the glass studio

Dolphin and Dog - Let's be Friends

it's a little corny, but still a lot of fun to watch;
Dolphin and Dog - Let's be Friends

fish wave

If I was a fish
I'd want to be surfing
in the coolest, craziest, tubular waves
that I could find.
From the shore
I'd hear;
"Look at that surfing fish!"


cool.

fall is falling

just days ago
it was just like summer
today it's really fall
a few turns of the globe
and ...
voil à:autumn


winds of change are blowing today

hang time ...

Fish tricks 
this one is called "HangTime"
a real showstopper.
What if you could 'hang time'
just to savour the moment;
make it last a little longer
where would you go?

Ah yes ...
NOW it seems like Fall is arriving,
a few thundershowers
a cool wind
and change-o
Fall-ish
Still pretty warm though...
but the muse is here
spreading the creative seed 
EXCELLANT

And now for something different;

Key Lime pie at Hanelei Bay, (Kauaii)
A trip through the "old" drawings stack.
[circa 1998]
still fresh as ever.

last drop of summer...

Summer is still hanging around here...
temps still hitting 100ºs


Fall must be getting backed up by now
when it finally hits
we'll know for sure.


Meanwhile, Rovaniemi, Finland
(on the Arctic Circle)
still hasn't seen snow.
Tee shirt weather in the Arctic??
I just dunno.

Rosie's window sill...

Aladdin's lamps
a stroke for good luck
essence of fortunes within
appear right at hand
ready for servitude
three times the fortuity ...

crackedrockweeds

essence of life...
the struggle to survive
the plants that grow
from the cracks in a vertical rock
i get it...

Steinhart Aquarium mural from Murano

This glass mural originally hung in the San Francisco Steinhart Aquarium Entrance, but now it is hung in the aquarium's kitchen hallway, in the bowels of the "backstage" area. I took the photo on my VIP tour 
summer. the card reads: VENETIAN TILE MURAL, Guillermo W. Granizo (1923-1997)
        
I really like this one. 
The colors of the glass tiles give it a deep transparency.
Nice flow and movement.

green waters ...

into the deep green recesses
of my mind
some thoughts connect
like jellyfish crossing in the night

undersea jellyfish time

under the sea 
a jellyfish lurks
in colour...

reindeer totem

returning, image-wise, to my native saami (northern-artic Finnish) roots here.
The white forked piece is a fall-off from reindeer antler shedding.
reindeer Antler is considered to be strong energy.
I have returned there often in dreams.

in the "mill"

Dan at work painting crackle finish doors in the CBS "mill"... (where the sets are built)

the desert wash in summer...

end of summer, longer shadow lines and bluer tones
the plants are crisper after toasting all summer long
mostly dry 'round here
yet,
there is an intrinsic beauty to behold.

ye dog wrangler ....

"... get along little doggie; its your misfortune and none of my own ..."

buddha wall too ...

another photoshop layered way of looking at the same wall in Santa Monica.

bumpin' buddha wall ...

I took this photo last sat. on 2nd St. in Santa Monica, then added "a little" photoshopping.
I like the intensity of the multiple Buddhas. Originally only one row.

another jellyfish...

another great jelly day ....

40 years conjoined ....

Kathy and I are celebrating 40 years of marriage today.
Glad we made it;who'da thunk?

spiky pod thing

this spiky pod-like thing is pretty cool.
when its green the spikes are soft and flexi.
when its not; its not.

pro-found jellyfish ....

how profound is the jellyfish?
they don't appear all that tidy,
in fact, they seem to be huge slobs.
admittingly, I don't know any personally.

dog herding dog chasing frisbee ...

the Ro-ri brothers, two of a kind.
Riley is the champion frisbee guy.
Rowan herds Riley and tries to prevent the "catch",
with very little success, but a lot of distraction.....
Here they both get a lot of exercise, 
I think it is the funnest time Rowan has ever had.

helsinki baby cookies ...

tasty Finnish baby cookies ....
almost too cruel to disturb them
just while you bite into their cute little head.
but ... these babies were made for munching
red or blue for you?

Fish play ...

fun time, play with the fishy in photoshop.
this is a montage from photos I took at the
Steinhart Aquarium in S.F.  in spring '10

through the trees ...

the love-shack studio
looking up through the trees
at the sunset clouds above
ocean mists fill the air...
I can really breathe.

cloud puff ...

even the smallest puff of a cloud
has its dynamic place
in the scheme of things
