My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the hell she is.  -Ellen DeGeneres, 1958-

I thought I would start posting a few drawings from time to time. I try very hard to do at least one a day, but for all my good intentions,  sometimes poo poo gets in the way. I’ve always admired a fine drawing, the draftsmanship, the craftsmanship the mother ship… huh? Maybe they’re about to act on their promise from so long ago and come back and take me away. Okay ArtGuy, slow down, regroup, get back on track. You can do this. Maybe my sons DO get their lack of focus from me? Who knew? I read somewhere that drawings are kind of a road map of the artist’s intent when preparing to do a painting. Not sure who said that, but he obviously never met me, I stay lost all the time. I say with much vibrato and pride, I AM Mr. Fly-By-The-Seat-of-My-Pants!! But I’ve been dazed and confused ever since Taylor Swift, that young, lanky, still 14-awkward at 20, “country” singer won the top Grammy last night! Holy crap, has anyone ever told that child she can’t sing?! In the words of my Pop, God rest his soul, “that girl couldn’t carry a tune in bucket”.  Okay, I’m sure she’s a very sweet, young lady that every 10 to 12 year-old-girl idolizes, but she still can’t sing. Now, where was I..?   Enjoy!
