I Think That I Will Never See....

'A Grownup's Garden of Verses' has been released!

My newest book, of verses and illustrations, has been released. This is my "White Album" book, in that it is an interesting and captivating mishmash of ideas, ranging from the short and silly to the lengthy and profound. From sexy to philosophical to heartwarming and back again.

Link to the book from my Author's Page, on Amazon:

The Vet's office

It was a pleasure to do a new "Pet Art" painting recently, featuring a very Dr. Doolittle-esque veterinarian and his dachshund assistants. He is also receiving some angelic help from Paje, a dearly departed former household member.

In the spirit of Halloween, a mysterious image.....

REVOLVER/BOERGER

Taking inspiration from the famous Beatles' album cover, 'Revolver' -their most iconic album covers after the even more famous Sgt. Pepper cover - I created this image of myself and peppered it with various things I like to draw. A kind of 'welcome to my world' bit of whimsy.

Open For Debate....

Are China and the U.S. on a collision course that will lead to conflict over control of the world's remaining fossil fuel reserves and other dwindling resources? Or will their partnership shape the remainder of the 21st century in ways that positively address the many challenges we face? I don't have the answers, and neither does anybody else! But it is certainly a question worth debating, don't you think?

I will be doing just that (taking the side that resource depletion indicates Sino-U.S. conflict), along with master debater James Papatones.

The event is September 25th, from 7:30, and it is sure to be a stimulating and thought provoking evening. Hope to see you there!

New Book Project in the Works

These watercolors are for a children's book I am working on now with a Japanese author.

The title, if it were to be translated into English, would be "Where Is Everybody?"

Lady Sings The Beatles

Well, I'm no Jimmy Kimmel in the impersonation department, but I do a passable Billie Holliday. Two great departed artists, Billie and George Harrison, find their way to what I think would have been a very nice cover of a great song. Hope you feel likewise.

Upcoming Book! "The Angel Corps"

Here is the cover design, still a work in progress, for a book that I will release in the late summer or early fall of this year, titled "The Angel Corps; The Necessity of Putting Others First"

The publisher will be InkNBeans Press

I will post more information as it develops!

Letting Go on Youtube

Best Intentions

Glib and insouciant, the president makes jokes about the madness he’s unleashed,

surrounded by his paymasters, who, rubbing sweaty palms together, gather round a feast;

Meanwhile men and women die on foreign fields; 

war is a commodity and death is all it yields

And it’s all over in time,

We lose our bodies first, and then we lose our minds

And when we lose our memories we rush to get in line

And rejoin the dance

We spin round and round,

and round and round

Till black is white and up is down

Meanwhile...

somewhere on Saturn a wise and precocious child stares in disbelief

At a holograph that shows a world not far away where battles rage and hatreds never cease

Moved to act, he vows to heal the suffering he sees; 

makes his deal with destiny, and leaves his life of ease

And it’s all over in time,

He sheds his body first, and then he sheds his mind

And shedding last his memory, rushes to get in line

And enjoin the dance

spinning round and round,

and round and round

and round 

Meanwhile...

hearts filled with gratitude, two parents gaze with pride upon their unexpected child

who is wise beyond his years, and very clear that he is here to serve a purpose that propels him from inside

Magically, it seems, he grows up in the public’s eyes; 

soon powerful men rush in and chart his stellar rise

And it's all over in time,

They push him forward till he's frontmost in the line

and, having drowned his memory in flattery and wine

they enjoin the dance

they spin round and round

and round and round

and round

Meanwhile….

he wonders why even now the stars seem to call to him, when he looks at the sky on winter nights

Could it be that he’s still the same child who long ago believed that he was sent to set the world aright?

And it’s all over in time,

We lose our bodies first, and then we lose our minds

And when we lose our memories we rush to get in line

And rejoin the dance..

and spin round and round and round and round and round......
