Rapunzel

I’ve been having a lot of fun with these watercolors recently! For any who haven’t seen the Tangles Series, it’s a lot of fun, especially if you enjoyed the original film. So take a little time to revisit Pascal, Flynn, and the rest of the gang this weekend!

An Ode to Watterson

One for all the Calvin and Hobbes fans out there! Bill Watterson’s wonderful creation introduced me to the first poetry I fell for, brightened my world with his watercolor, and was the first one to draw my attention to Einstein’s theory of relativity. Thanks Bill.

Painting on Poe

A little more portrait practice this week. Something dark and a little different from the bright colors I often enjoy. In addition eagle eyed fans will notice the master of the macabre lurking in the background! It’s a kind of fan art on several levels. I was captivated by the reference photo, the painting is done in the style of an artist I recently discovered, and the backdrop is from an author I was delighted by at an early age.

Dark Portrait

Rhyming Story

Our upcoming book collects a number of Cabin Fever Comic Strips, of course, but also includes several short stories! Here is a sneak peek at a rhyming story included in Small Time Shenanigans. Fans of Poe may recognize its structure as it is heavily influenced by Annabel Lee!

The Snooglie Booglie Gleefully Eyes Prospector Pete’s Untimely Demise!

It was many and many a year ago,
In a cabin snuggled among the trees
That an old timer there lived whom you may know
By the name of Prospector Pete.
This old timer he lived, he sought and he thought
To prove true the ruse of the Snooglie Booglie.

I ran so wicked and wild, he pursued me for miles
Far from the cabin snuggled among the trees.
It was there that I eyed his untimely demise
I and my Prospector Pete
With grit and with guile we danced and we
Danced he and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago
Far from the cabin snuggled among the trees

A full moon did alight and light up the night
Leading the way for the brave Prospector Pete
Flying his sled so fast and so free
Over snow and Ice and overflow bleak!
Chasing the lore of the Snooglie Booglie
Far from the cabin snuggled among the trees

Nature, ever so clever, played one hand better
Ending the game for he and for me
Yes that was the reason (as all can see
Far from the cabin snuggled among the trees)
That the ice opened wide and swallowed his life
Thrilling and chilling my Prospector Pete

But that game it goes on long after that life is gone
Contrary to the mythos of those older than we
And to the wisdom of those far wiser than we
The man did arise gliding in and out of moonlight
More than alright was he, he was Prospector Pete
Chasing the lore of the Snooglie Booglie
Far from the cabin snuggled among the trees

Each flake of the snow whispers the woe
Fallen on Prospector Pete
And the Northern Lights illumine the nights
I ride with Prospector Pete
He’s faster than ever, than Nature more clever
Our chase never severed nor wilted nor weathered
The game it goes on and on and on
We dance on and on and on and on.
