Art display at Satchel’s Pizza
It’s been fun to work with two friends to cover all the walls at Satchel’s Pizza, with our watercolor art, urban sketches and photography.

Quest for the purple gallinule
Seeing the purple gallinule has been a quest of mine for some time. If you’ve not seen a gallinule, they are quite a visual treat.

Urban Sketching
It’s always interesting to see how the Internet can facilitate groups of people coming together for common interests. Back in the early 2000s it was fun to watch the ukulele community discover each other as we grew fanatical about the ukulele in different countries. We formed an extensive online network and community. Then came international […]
