One of the perks of working for a resort client is being able to stay on property. When I was creative director on the Sea Island Resorts account, I had many such opportunities and it can spoil you after awhile. Confession: I’m a toiletries hoarder and each time I stayed at The Cloister I would [...]

This painting, like “fawn”, went through many iterations to get to this point. I thought maybe if I posted it I would be less likely to continue working it to oblivion.

The Pale Blue Dot
I came across this video (not new) as I was getting ready to finally start my saturday. Clean house, finish up some project work, and hit the studio for some much needed quality time with paint and brush.

A few years back, The Designory held the annual Director\’s meeting in San Francisco. One of the side trips was San Quentin. It was a strange place.
I was experiencing some issues with my camera inside, and unfortunately don\’t recall all the settings I ended up with, but the photos were astounding. These are unretouched images. [...]
