  Me @ La Jolla Cove, 1995 And I played around with these experimental photos after scanning them into PhotoShop. If you’re counting, that means I have TEN years of experience in PhotoShop. I love the Cove very much. It feels like I still have much to learn, still.

  Lincoln Memorial, 1990 or so. I guess I’m making up for lost time. The Lincoln Memorial is by far my favorite place in Washington, D.C. I can’t not cry when I turn to the right and read Lincoln’s great words, his second inaugural address. This bit, among others, always slays me: The progress of our arms, upon which all else...

  Joker Joe 1991 I’m a big fan of Halloween. In 1991 or so I won a costume college (I was either first or second place out of maybe 2 dozen or so health science students at CHRV College of Health Sciences). The other day I posted the “guts cake,” which I submit as evidence of liking Halloween. Funny...

  Joseph in Cyrillic More travels through packrat-ism. In about 1994 I worked with a _very_ diverse staff of Respiratory Therapists. One of the women was a Russian, and I prevailed upon her to write my name, “Joseph” in Cyrillic. It looks pretty cool. And now that I’ve scanned it, I’ve one less piece of paper! Yay for trimming...

  Psychology 101 Professor, 1988 Well, that last one was a terrible resemblance, as pointed out by Tom Bickle. This one is rather better, I think. This actually looks like my professor. I even have some

  Self Portrait, 1990 Little more than a scribble. The mustache is an afterthought. Not a great likeness. I can tell the year because of the mustache, and the lab coat. Maybe it’s not obvious to you it’s a lab coat, but it’s sure obvious to me.

  B&W Texture, 1988; Thoughts on flickr’s 2006 account changes This was for the graphic design class in 1988 that I did so poorly, as I recounted here. The idea was to have some rich textures to show off. This one was done with india ink, washes, and black and white colored pencils. I still quite like this texture. Something like this makes me think...

  Jek Vehicles, 1988 Part of my fandom of Japanese culture was learning, which is to say _trying to learn_ the hiragana and katakana alphabets. So while these vehicles are interesting and well rendered, what I find more interesting is my own careful choice of names. Jek is the overarching name of the zaibatsu I invented for these pieces....

  Cal RT Boss, 1995 I don’t remember this guy’s name. I would have drawn this on a slow night at California Hospital. He was a midwestern guy, and a supervisor. I think he was primarily a neonatal therapist, though he ended up as a night shift boss. It’s kind of strange how I got the job there. I interviewed...

  Tank Landscape, 1990 This was drawn as part of my brainstorming a Christmas card in the run up to the first Gulf War. It’s supposed to have a melancholy feel. I think given that the tank is sort of unrecognizable, it has a science fictional quality. Interesting to me that 14 years later and we’re dealing with Iraq...

  Halloween Poster, 1987 Originally posted to Flickr In 1987, the year I graduated High School, I did this poster for Halloween. I’m still proud of this one. It’s a big mishmash of characters, it made an impression on those who came by, it was fun to do. Related: pumpkin designs.

  Halloween Pumpkin Designs, 1987 Nine designs for pumpkins. I believe I did these in anticipation of Halloween, 1987. On paper, and with Micron Pigma type pens. I like ’em. My favorite thing about these is that I can tell I showed them to my grandma, who declared that Pumpkin Idea 5 looked like he “doesn’t have good sense.” I...

  Man in Ink & Charcoal, 1987 This is my favorite of the inky colored pieces I have. I’ve said before I don’t have that many pieces in color. Ones in black and white and red are among the strongest pieces though. I like the clarity of this one, decisive line work. This one is not with spray paint though, it’s with...

  Man With A Gun, 1988 It’s hard to imagine a more aggressive picture than this one. The 18 year old self of mine could be pretty aggressive in his head, but he was passive on the exterior. Too many years bullied. Led to tendencies toward passive aggression. Not my best quality. Working on it still.

  Omega the Lazy Dog, 1987 Related: Dog and Desk @ 2:30pm, 1987. Omega was the friendliest dog in the world. She did not really understand that we owned her. I guess it’s all a matter of perception. Many times we’d get phone calls from people saying “we have your dog, the kids love her” — we would go to the...

  Dog and Desk @ 2:30, 1987 Omega the Dog, ink on paper, 1987. This was from the summer after high school and before moving to Virginia. Omega was a good dog, loving, goofy, and she made a great pillow. I have another drawing of Omega that’s pretty good, when I post that I’ll talk about all my memories of Omega. Today:...

  Perspective Study; My Room, 1983 This, one of my first ever studies in perspective, was for the same high school drawing class as this. It shows my room, or at least a simplified version of my room. At the time my parents, sister and I were living with my grandparents and I lived out on the patio. This included my...

  Notebook, 1988 I have a notebook I started in March, 1988. I think it was a birthday gift. Maybe not. I was 18. It’s full of cryptic lists and notes and scribbles. I’m going to transcribe some of it, then I’m going to throw it out. It may not make any sense. More after the cut.
