The Base

And another item from the sketchbook:

Gracious Grandma

This made me think of a wallpaper design after I drew it. And old-timey one.

Rufus Howls

One for you dog lovers:

A Button

Perhaps the one I’ll pop tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner.

This Is Your Life

Last in the four-part series of drawings of screens and such.  Actually, this one is kind of supposed to be a mirror.  Hence the title.  But I think it goes in the series anyway.

Amateur Hour

“Amateur Hour,” another drawing in the “screen series.”

Great Redeemer

The second in a series of drawings of screens from the past few years of my notebooks.  So, obviously, the title is a more than a little ironic, as actual contact with actual people is more in the line of what sustains us.  And church is an important part of that for me.  But I would be disingenuous if I didn’t say that amid the dreck there is actually a lot of great art that happens on TV, and that I have been renewed by actors, artists, musicians, and other professionals (even clergy–Jesse Jackson, Brethren Christmas Eve service, to name a couple) who share on the tube, or whose work eventually winds up there.  So thanks to all of you.
