Drawings From Old Sketchbooks
Drawings and sketches culled from drawing pads, journals,
sketchbooks and old files. Some fairly new but mostly old
sketches, some drawn from life, some drawn as comps for
commissioned projects and some as just studies for the fun
of it. Like most artists, I have dozens of sketchbooks, large
and small. My favorites the last few years are the Moleskine
books. I always have one with me, along with a small camera
wherever I go. My other drawing media are Strathmore
400 papers and pads for general use and a variety of other
papers for highly finished drawings.

Experimental Art
Raw Art
Experimental art created during college days, influenced by the art
of Jean Dubuffet, also Francis Bacon, Oskar Kokoshka, Alberto
Giacometti, et al. Jean Dubuffett (1901-1985) coined the phrase
Art Brut or "raw art" to describe his work at the time, (the 1940's).
He studied the art of psychiatric patients, children and other "naive"
or self-taught artists, and although seemingly comical and satirical,
Dubuffet's paintings harbor a mesmerizing quality. Also, English
critic Roger Cardinal used the phrase "Outsider Art" to describe
these types of non-conventional works- "outside the boundaries
of conventional culture".* [sic]

Mt. Olympus
Sketchbook drawings, done back in the Jurasic, inspired by photographs taken
by my brother and his two climbing partners on a winter ascent of the north face
of Mt. Olympus outside Salt Lake City--- a huge hunk of rotten rock, one would
be hard pressed to climb in the summer let alone in the winter. I have however,
always been proud of him for doing it.
