  Tree, 1990 A tree I created with brush and ink and water, 1990. It’s organic, yet a bit mechanical as well. I chose this one because it reminded me of some of Leah’s trees, as in these, and most particularly, these. Leah uses a straw to blow the ink this way and that way. I think I...

  Angry Fellow in a Box, 1989 Funny how angry and boxed in I felt in 1989. This communicates frustration. Thankfully, much has changed.

  Seascape, 2004 The garage may be much cleaner than it was, but there’s still unsorted stuff out there. This is from a small sketchbook we took with us to Utah this Christmastime. Several members of Leah’s family made drawings with the watercolor pencils, this is one of mine. Not terrific, but not bad either. It’s pretty. Night...

  Hero vs. Dragon, 1987 For a period after graduating from High School I was doing a lot of watercolor. I never was much for sword and sorcery stuff. Dragons and faeries and guys in armor. I never got into Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit or any of that stuff. But I loved my comics and science fiction....

  Dog No Where, 1989 “Dog No Where” reminds me of “Goodbye Che.” There’s definitely something about that _sadness_, that sense of loss, that I like. It’s probably why sometimes I like to listen to Mazzy Star and Morrissey.

  Square Guy, 1988 During High School my family had a pad of paper next to our phone. It had little squares of flimsy construction paper. They were perfect little comic panels.

  Crackpot Junk Mail, 1992 From my scrapbook archives, a Book of Revelations bit of nuttery 14 years later. Where’s those end times?

  Flash: The Fastest Man Alive, 1977 When I was 7 years old I really liked comic book characters and would draw them. When I am 35 years old, I talk about Ra’s Al Ghul and Anakin as exemplars of the idea that the end justifies the means with my stepsons. Questioning the wisdom of this outlook, of course. Comic books are...

  Tim the Dog, 1990 Created during a respiratory therapy class. I took a lot of notes, and occasionally I would doodle non-respiratory things. I love the name “Tim” for a dog.

  Robot Fighter, 1982 1982. I was attending school at Christ The King Church in Gretna, Louisiana. My nickname was “Crawdaddy” among the other kids. If you live in Louisiana and your last name is Crawford, you’re pretty much gonna get called Crawdad, Crawfish, or Crawdaddy. These words are what they call Crayfish. Gretna is just outside Louisiana, just...
