A Blues Revisited

How did I miss this?

This loneliness, from long ago.

It died, when new heights

were revealed, in my spirit.

Or, so I thought.

But here it is again.

On this wretched evening.

Slithering through my silence.

My favorite rock band is The Doors. And I began to write poetry, after being inspired by the band's lead singer, Jim Morrison. He influenced alot of my earlier writings, when I discovered how powerful words can be in my own life. I wrote poems often, whenever there were random thoughts, anxiety and depressive episodes. It helped me survive the horrors of my teenage years. Jim Morrison's creative expression, taught me, that freedom exists in poetry, and a source that is infinite, resides within myself.

Man Riding Another Man & Other Drawings

1. Man Riding Another Man 2. Man Standing Beside Car 3. Man Standing In Closet 4. The Writer 5. Man Standing Before A Mirror 1. Man Riding Another Man, is another piece that was drawn with a brush and ink, with washes added. It was also done on a scrap piece of mat board. This is a position I like to draw, and it produces various outcomes, regardless of how it is created.

Man Standing Beside Car, was an early attempt at drawing a car effe...

Eric Dolphy and other jazz themed pieces

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. Eric Dolphy, is one of my personal favorite drawings. He is also one of my favorite musicians. This piece is inspired by one of my favorite photographs. It is by the great photographer Francis Wolff. A photo taken during one of Dolphy's recording sessions. I love the flute solos from this multi instrumentalist. The flute in general is my favorite instrument, if I had to pick one to play. One of the reasons, is because of the beautiful Eric Dolphy, who passed away too soon. He also was an incredibly gifted alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist. I consider his Out To Lunch album, as the " great American novel " in a musical format, by this awesome performer. 2. Swingin' Easy ( For Sarah Vaughan) is a tribute to my favorite singer, The Divine One herself. I wanted to capture the vibe and energy, of being in an intimate and small jazz club, while watching an amazing performance. The excitement and awestruck sound of Sarah Vaughan is just so otherworld...
