Helena's Owl - 2/23/15 - Image-a-day

Today's image is a wonderful drawing of an owl created by Helena, the daughter of a good friend. She has drawn many pictures of owls inspired by the ones that live in her backyard. Helena has a good eye for form and texture already and is only nine years old. I can't wait to see all the art she's going to make in the future.

Paying Respect to Dino - 2/22/15 - Image-a-day

Finished a fine weekend in Durham, NC with a slushy hike on the American Tobacco Trail. We headed north from the Duke Tower making our way along the mostly clear path. A couple of miles down the way, we found an old friend, the big, green, weathered, friendly Brontosaur that lives in the woods. A local once told me the story of the Dino and how his head and neck were stolen and retrieved recently. How there was talk of tearing him down because he was falling apart, but the community rallied and found a way to restore him, so now he still stands. I think every neighborhood should have a dinosaur of it's own.

Nevermore - 2/21/15 - Image-a-day

Catching a few indie horror flicks at the Nevermore Film Fest in Durham, NC this weekend. This is the seventh year that my friend Dave and I have made the trip. The crew always decorates the Carolina Theater with all manner of gruesome delight. This was one of my favorites.

Late Night at the Izakaya - 2/20/15 - Image-a-day

Had some fun Friday night hanging out with my good friend Dave at a new Izakaya in Durham, NC called "Dashi". Nothing better than laughing and talking with an old friend in a hip place.
