    While some might describe D’Art as “nothing but a ball of fuzz,” “a furball with legs” or “a furry monster with glowing eyes ;” I’d say that’s generally selling him short. Generally.

  • Daily D’Art–Day 7

    Flu/cold season kept me in bed today, so D’Art joined in too…

  • Daily D’Art–Day 6

    On Sundays waiting for snow or visits from our feathery neighbors is not uncommon…

    It’s rough being King, I’m told…

  • Daily D’Art–Day 3

    Sometimes D’Art is quite the Creative Director…

  • Daily D’Art–Day 2

    The first few days of a new year’s daily creative exercise and so far I’ve stuck with photos somewhat because of my comfort level with the medium. As the days march on though, I aim to push this daily drill into other hopefully more creative directions. Stay tuned, dear readers…

  • Daily D’Art–Day 1

    Sometimes D’Art is a bit of a mystery…

  • 365 Days of D’Art

    In years past, I have undertaken a daily exercise in the form of self-portraits here on the blog (2010 intro 2010 summary 2011 summary). Last year I took a break from such creative drills and in some ways regretted it during the year. This year, however, I shall resume a daily exercise to keep myself…

  • Autumn

    It’s hard to believe, but today it was warm and sunny enough to be driving around town with the windows down. Even though it’s November, Baltimore is, as usual, somewhat reluctant to admit that it’s fall and that winter will be on the way soon enough. The leaves are still hanging on though. And some…

  • GO VOTE

    Today is finally Election Day here in America. About 30 million people have already participated in early or absentee voting in 34 states by mail or in person. Now let’s get the rest of the registered voters out to the polls! Still unsure of how to vote or waffling? Here’s a tongue-in-cheek opinion about choosing…

  • Halloween

    This year, thanks to Superstorm Sandy, Halloween festivities were rescheduled in my neighborhood. As it turned out, many adults celebrated in costume the weekend before the storm so this year we get to enjoy TWO Halloweens in Baltimore. A few years ago, I posted other fun old cartoons that make me happy and remind me…

  • Storm Reporting

    Hey Baltimore, MD and East Coast– We made the news (not surprisingly) in Sweden: View on SVT’s site, just in case View on SVT’s Site Schysst!

  • Geometric

    The other day while pausing for a coffee to warm up after a swim, I noticed the light and shadows as they did something special on a quiet afternoon…

  • Waiting for the storm..

    By now, you’ve probably already heard about the massive storm, Hurricane Sandy, also dubbed Frankenstorm winding its way along the Atlantic coast at the moment. For most of the day my neighborhood, usually a bustling mix of residences and local businesses, has been eerily empty. The rain has been falling steadily for a few hours…

  • Mercury

    The other day I took a long walk through town. I had an old camera with a roll of film that needed to be finished for processing so with a bag full of cameras I set out on a photo hunt. While exploring, I came across a building with the most incredible texture. It seemed…

  • More from the forgotten file…

    Another draft from the cutting room floor… While I like the composition to some extent, the color palette just isn’t working for me. Not surprised this ended up in the discarded file. What do you think?

Got any book recommendations?
