Dinosaur Park

Storyteller 2

The background color was wearing me out slightly. It’s now closer to what I wanted…and yet…who knows if it’s right. Screen colors are so variable, it could look yellow or brown on some machines. Or even purple, I guess. At least the text is a little bigger. Anyway, back to the salt mines.

Storyteller

My wife and I had dinner at a friend’s house last night, where, besides enjoying lots of excellent food and wine, we got to see an excellent collection of R.A. Miller art. Which you probably know already is some of the finest art ever made (I own one of his tin crayfish, myself). So, anyway, I got all inspired to borrow his style for this poster-type thing I’m thinking about doing someday, since I’m still searching for a style of my own. Also, I like the storyteller as a subject…I guess it shows up a lot in art from all over the world…and, well, anyhow, I’m still figuring it out.
