My Bio
I grew up in a house. It was a nice house - mostly square with bits that jutted out here and there to break up the overall squareness. It had a roof. It was a nice roof. I remember when the heavy rains would come in the summer; we had brief thunderstorms almost every afternoon. That roof always stood valiantly between us and every one of those raindrops. Yes, it was a quite a roof. Sometimes while it was raining I would draw. I would also draw when it was sunny out. The light helped. Since the compulsion to draw followed me into adulthood I thought I'd keep it up. Sometimes it rains and sometimes not. The roof I live under now isn't always as dependable as that stalwart friend from my childhood. That's where you come in. Visit my website. Buy a mug. You drink coffee, right? Me too! Can't drink coffee without a mug.

:w00t:I am loving my new web site! It has been so long in coming (portions of my old site were SO old that they had begun to literally be obsolete). :please:Please, if you have enjoyed my art on DA, visit my site, watch a video, say hello, etc.  http://www.inthestillwood.com :#1:I'd like to thank my friend, Steve, for inspiring me to remake it and for pointing me in the right direction. I would still be putting it off if not for him.

:xmas::santa::xmas:Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, whatever you may celebrate at this time of year. It has been a hard year in many ways for many people, but now, just for a couple of days, let's eat cookies and hug relatives and try not to think of all the bad. It will still be there waiting for us after the new year begins, so we can leave off worrying until then. Hugs all around! See you all after the new year!:xmas::santa::xmas:

Pixie is companion to fellow artist Nora Blansett. Please take  a moment and peruse our offerings here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Pixie/188622734552841. 100% of proceeds go to Nora for Pixie's surgery. Just follow the instructions on the page and thanks for helping! Wanted to post an edit and thank ~noticeART (https://www.deviantart.com/noticeart) for ... noticing my art.
