As the month is coming to a close I was remembering that June is LGBTQ, Gay Pride month. With so many other issues being addressed I thought it would be nice to focus my illustration on Gay Pride and to remember that the colors of the LGBTQ flag have several meanings: Life, Healing, Sunlight, Nature, […]

Really longing to get out and draw—large crowds. Not going to happen anytime soon but feeling my way around what is possible. This old abstract crowd brought me some joy and hope. A little play to get the thoughts moving.—Dominick

It’s funny the number of times in a given week you can jokingly say, “let me check my calendar” knowing there is barely anything on said calendar and yet somehow the weeks fly by in our current state of life with little room for relaxation.

I will not see the nurses, doctors, healthcare professionals, EMTs, police officers, firefighters, and the many other front line responders whose chosen professions are to help us. THEY CHOSE A PROFESSION TO HELP. A thought I can […]
