Inkling

I decided to try my Pentel brush pen with my other hand.

Sharon was in High School. From the Bristol Ave. bus stop I was happy to carry her books up the  highest street of Montalvo Heights to where she lived next door.  

Pareidolia

Seeing faces on surfaces...

...an afroed centaura twists to pick a pear.

A Gift of a Gemini Magi

Steve Johnson became a mentor, friend and later a Brother-in-Law before his passing.

Here is a BD gift ('72) to our Earthly Taurusian Father-in-Law.

'Taurus Dream'... a segment of Steve's magnificent pen n' ink piece for Wayne.

Hats off to Harryhausen

A day before my fifth birthday, my next door neighbors the Duncans took me to the Fox Movie Theater in Ventura. David Duncan, a flat topped fifth grader was my leader into the darkened theater.

Double features were the pleasure with a cartoon from one of the featured studio's... MGM, Warner Bros., Disney... don't remember the cartoon.

'Tom Thumb', a musical tale of George Pal's effects was entertaining... maybe the first time I was introduced to the talented Peter Sellers.

The theater curtains drew back again for the next movie-

                                                 'The 7th Voyage of Sindad'

astounded and joyfully frightened me.

Clutching the seat back in front of me, I lifted myself up to see better and dropped to hide when necessary-

the dancing Snake Woman!

I could never look at my turbaned Aunt Terry the same.

Weeks after, I drew the cylops everyday... my Mom got tired of buying a new box of crayons just because I was out of orange, the closest color to my new subject.

Thank you Ray Harryhausen for 'Dynamation',

your imagination will always inspire.

Hello Mr. Weaver

Suspended on his thread, Spiny Orb hovered in mid air over head.

The pool was still but a frantic long oared fly.
A frog, clinging to a shady tile awaited it's rescue.
