Look out! Here's a piece I did recently for the January issue of Virginia Living. It's about an awkward skier trying to woo his little lady friend. Obviously she was having none of it.

Thanks for making it happen, Sonda! You and the team did a bang-up job on the layout.

He steadies the little hardbound book on his leg, putting pencil to paper on a page between the next and last—naturally.

Squinting, he continues, drawing anything that comes to mind. Partridges in profile, a disheveled rake in platform shoes, and of course, buns—many, many naked buns. The buns of fantastically stubby, balding men whose walking-on-air leaps of joy so perfectly showcase a certain golden doughy confidence, the viewer's given no choice but to share in at least a bit of what they have... by the pound (after pound)—fancy, fancy freedom.

So jump, my gelatinous friends! Jump!

As mentioned in a previous post, my illustrious über woman of a sister has once again called on me, and this time for her portrait. Since she's in the field of education, immediately I wanted to make a picture of "the learned scholar in his den" variety, only this time it'd be "in her den." Holbein's terrific portrait of Erasmus was used as my jumping-off point.

Of course it was only natural I put beakers in the background. What's an important person without beakers? An incomplete important person—that's what I say.

Anyway, we can all hope to one day have such a cute den.

But until then...

• Question I: Prior to this picture, have you ever—ever—seen an artist's excessively detailed interpretation of beloved teen icon Corey Haim?
• Question II: If so—which isn't at all possible, outside of '80s teenage fan art—was the name of the piece a play on the Jewish phrase, "L'Chaim"?
• Question III: Isn't this why Owen's paid the big bucks?

Answer Key: I. NO, II. NO, III. PERHAPS

I suppose I'm a disciple of Andy Warhol right down to the indecision. I started out thinking there'd be only one of these, but sometimes when you're tinkering with the colors, you'd prefer not to choose. (In fact, I like looking at them side-by-side, don't you?)

Anyway, these're for you, Rose. Gabba gabba hey!
