INSTINCT *IF

Little boys are instinctively creative, profoundly noisy, musically inclined with ordinary objects, quite proficient in provoking responses, and clever enough to convince the world that they can’t help themselves because… it is just instinct.

CELEBRATE *IF

Tango in the Tall Grass: ZOOFARI 2007

There was a night of celebration at the 2007 Santa Ana Zoo Gala in California to raise money for the Giant Anteater Exhibit. It must have been a great party because even the ants didn’t mind tangoing in the tall grass.

This was the cover art for the event’s promotion and invitations. Joyce Glazier was a pleasure to work for. If you are ever in the area you should definitely stop in to visit the animals. You never know what might happen if lighting is just right, and you start humming a few bars of a familiar tune!

TIME *IF

The Adventures of Mick McTime

This is a silly story I tried to write a few years ago. I just need to go back, in time, and condense the text more; however, the illos were fun.

Mick is boy who uses his fantastic, time-saving time machine in battle between goodies and evil. In other words, it's taking too long for mom's cookies to get done baking. He's convinced that his machine works because, instantly, there is mom with a plate of hot cookies and milk. Next during Mick's imaginary play, he decides to speed up dad's work day and is further convinced when dad suddenly walks through the front door. He's a genius! Although, unfortunate for us all, something happens to poor Mick's, most, incredible invention of all time.

And therefore I have run out of time and must bid you farewell until next time.
