Happy Walk Mutterings of the Muses: What if this guy crossed your path? Even spirits are allowed to take happy walks. This must have been a very good day, or my sub-conscience was filled with gratitude for a series of similar sculptures I made years earlier. Either way, there could be no other title to … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #380 – Happy Walk
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #379 – Ol’ Groucho
Ol’ Groucho Mutterings of the Muses: It's odd what contributes to ones sense of humour. On occasion I am amazed to what extent the Marx Brothers are part of my everyday aesthetic vernacular. I quite certain the ghost of Groucho lives in some part of my head. Perhaps swimming in a duck soup, or surfacing … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #379 – Ol’ Groucho

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #377 – We Are The Masks We Wear
We Are The Masks We Wear Mutterings of the Muses: In the seemingly endless search for ourselves, we sometimes find many masks to wear. We become those masks, for a time during our inner and outer searching for the self. An artist will wear many such masks in the development of his/her voice. Trying on … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #377 – We Are The Masks We Wear
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #376 – Forest Spirit
Forest Spirit Mutterings of the Muses: From the forests of Japan, through the Canadian tundra, to the Jungles of Africa, the indigenous people tell folktales of spirits that guide, scare and exact revenge on the folks brave enough to walk their forests.

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #278 – Dreamers 13-003
Dreamers 13-003 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… This was an off-shoot of the usual Dreamers collection. I decided to remove the instruments and leave the subject, wondering in his own dream. It turns out that this dreamer's focus was on what was missing from his hand, maybe the bigness … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #278 – Dreamers 13-003

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #276 – Dreamers 99-007
Dreamers 99-007 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… I’d like to say this was a spontaneous composition, except for the many sketches that led to it. It was meant to give the visual impression of which instrument held prominence in the music they played and ended showing us a possible … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #276 – Dreamers 99-007
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #275 – Dreamers 99-006
Dreamers 99-006 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… For me, the saxophone was more of an 80ies Pop instrument. Light and completely safe, in spite of the popular association to sexiness, I never got that from it. There must have been a time when this instrument denoted a sense of … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #275 – Dreamers 99-006
