You can buy my art as prints, or on t-shirts and coffee mugs, etc.; you can buy my books from Amazon.com as paperback or Kindle; and I have singer/songwriter folk/rock acoustic-guitar-based music available here for lisen, and will soon offer CDs available from Amazon’s ‘Media On Demand’.

About the Book: Initially inspired by the 2016 Presidential election, it’s a mixed collection of short pieces about different ideas, reflections, complaints, and life-hacks. A simple book of musings on different everyday subjects. Some funny, some strange; others poignant, or profound. Summed-up; this is a simple little book about life.

 


The Artist
I’m an artist, musician, writer, husband, parent, and my grand kids call me Pawpaw. We’re an extended family from the Midwest, presently on the West coast. My wife’s software engineering career has taken us to many places. We’ve lived in Texas, Belgium, Hawaii, Massachusetts , and now California. The adventure continues.
